Catching up!!

Sorry about the space. I am having the hardest time with blogger!!!!














So we have been up to alot lately which hasn't left a whole lot of time to blog. (OK i have had time but I have been using my spare time for other things). Anyway now I get to try to play catch up!!! Just have to pick where to start. Since I didn't get any pictures of Creedance's Dance Recital maybe I should start there. Her whole team did soooo good! They are just so stinking cute! She did her regular two dances and then her Ballet class did a dance! I know i should have taken pictures, but Tyler stayed home with all of the boys, and recitals are sooooooo crazy for me. I always seem to be like a chicken running around with its head cut off! Anyway since dance is done for the year, things should be a little slower for me! Oh wait the kids are out of school so things will probably be more crazy!





We have been working on getting another room done in the basement! I am attempting to help but not doing so good! I can sand the walls just fine but i am not very good at mudding! Tyler also has other helpers who don't really help!










The kids watermelon juice stand!













Toph had pack meeting a couple of weeks ago and recieved a bunch of awards. I think is favorite being the pocket knife one! The kids love builing forts! They are trying to come up with all sorts of fun plans for this summer!



















Oh and T.J. graduted from Preschool he is very excited about this and keeps asking me about when Kindergarten starts. I was a little bummed at the graduation. They forgot to call his name and he had waited so patiently through more than 30 kids. I took him up to get his stuff though, so in the end it all worked out!

Crazy Weekend!!

We had a Dance Competition and a baby blessing this weekend. We thought Cree would dance in the morning or the afternoon on Saturday, but alas she ended up dancing saturday night. Nate and Kim's ward meets on Sunday at 9am. Now this might have not been to bad but Cree danced in Twin Falls and Nate and Kim live in Spanish Fork. We left Twin about 8:30 pm and made it to Spanish Fork about 12:30. Which isn't to bad considering stopping for gas and slowing down in some spots for construction.

Anyway we left IF Saturday morning, stopped in Pocatello so Tyler could do a little work, then stopped to check out Shoshone Falls. It was way pretty. There is alot of water going over right now. The kids loved getting out and running around(it was actually warm enough to get out!!!!)

Then we drove in to Twin. We stopped at Artic Circle which was way to wild and the food was not at all good!! Then off to the College campus for the competition. Things ran behind and we ended up dancing around 6 and 8ish. The Girls did so well though. They got Superiors on both of their dances, and get Highest Score in their division on "Music Box Dancer". Then came the driving. Which was better than i thought it would have been. We then got to crash at Rachel's Place (what a good name for Sean's grandparents house). She even waited up for us. What a nice sister! We Love YOU Rachel!!!


The next day we were up bright and early. Yes Toph started getting out loud toys at 6:30!! The only good side is we got ready in plenty of time for the blessing!!







Lily is an adorable baby. She was good through the blessing, and Nate did a great job!! After they had a luncheon and me and Creedance got to hold Lily. I think we both would love to have another girl around our house!!! Kim made wonderful (breakfast) Luncheon food. We all ate way to much. Thank You Kim!! I know having us all over is stressful but we love you guys!!




After all this fun we went back to Rachel's for a much needed nap! Although i don't think i got much sleep it was enough to revive us a little bit. We hung out with them for awhile and then decided we should attempt to go home. We stopped a couple of times and in the end didn't make it home until 10:30!! We all fell straight into bed!! Me and Creedance are having a really hard time waking up and fuctioning!! She ended up being an hour late for school cause she was just to tired to stay awake. Hopefully tomorrow we will all be rested and ready for another crazy week!!
