No More Monkeys

Here is Red in her clogging uniform for 'No More Monkey's Jumpin' on the Bed'.  She and her group took 1st place at Lagoon with this dance. 

Red gets her dance moves from her dad!!

Ballerina Girl

Here is our little princess Red with her ballet class.  They took 2nd place at Lagoon.  Magic Tu-tu was the name of their dance.  Red really enjoyed ballet this year.  This was her first year of dance, but not her last.  Brown also went to dance class but she only did warm ups with them.  She'll be starting next year.  We are so proud of our little ballerina and have enjoyed watching her dance.

Red and Company

Easter Weekend

Green and the kiddies with Great Grandpa Dee and Great Grandma Jeannie.



Here are my girls in the Easter dresses I made.  Yes folks, I made those dresses!



My guys. 
Don't they look so handsome.  What a blessing to have three boys to call my own.

Red with our cousin.
 They are riding Uncle Lon's horse Cinnamon.

Brown and Blue riding a mule at Uncle Lon's.  Green is there to catch them if they fall.

We had a great Easter weekend.  Yes, I know Easter is BEFORE Mother's Day, but I wasn't able to get the pictures uploaded until today.  We spent the weekend with my parents as well as Green's.  It was nice to get away from home and visit the people we love most.  Got to spend some time with our favorite uncle Scott too.  I think us visiting had something to do with why he decided to move out of our parents house. 

Happy Mother's Day

Our Mother's Day program from church.  I am on the second row from the bottom.  Red drew the first picture of me, then Blue and finally Yellow drew me.  (Notice the unibrow he gave me)

Just a note to let my mother know how thankful I am for her.  I have a super mom that has loved, laughed, cried and supported me through my life so far!!  I look forward to many more years of the same!!!

RUN. . .don't walk to the nearest finish line!!!

Green ran in the 1/2 marathon again this year.  His time was 2 hrs 36 mins.  The kiddies and I drove down to watch him run.  We had fun cheering for all of the runners, but especially for Green.  After watching the race we were all inspired to want to run.  (We haven't yet!!)

The last stretch!!

Headed to the finish line.

After the race. 

Friends

Just a few things I have learned from my friends.

*Abnormal IS normal.

*Everyone has the same problems, rich or poor we still wonder if we are good enough.

*Friends are just family members with different relatives.

*You feel sad, I feel sad, we ALL feel sad.  Just call and you'll find out your problems aren't as bad as they seemed.

*Fun is being yourself and knowing the people around you love you ANYWAY!

I LOVE my friends.  I have been blessed to have some very AWESOME women in my life.  (Their husbands aren't bad either)  Thank you for being in my life!

Birthday Boy

Happy birthday to the BEST husband in the world!!  I am so blessed to have this man in my life.  Last night the kiddies and I went to Primary Children's to deliver an amazing birthday cake to Green.  I wanted him to be able to share with his co-workers in the PICU.
