Lots of exciting things that keep us hopping....

Cody finally took first place at the pinewood derby!!!! I have discovered that I am a very competitive mom when it comes to my kids!


Morgan had an exciting 8th birthday! We let her get her EARS PIERCED! She was so excited! I took her to get it done right after school on her birthday. She was very brave and didn't flinch at all. She said it didn't hurt. I also took her "girl" shopping. It was lots of fun spending the afternoon with my sweet little girl. She had a fun friend party and we also went to classic skating with cousins.



I took eight kids to Lagoon by myself. I must be crazy! Tom had to stay home and put flooring in the new house. Morgan danced and the boys brought friends. We had a great day! Cole and his friends went on the skycoaster!





Morgan went on the Colossus for the first time and was on the front row! Yikes!! She had a blast! You can see her in this pictures with a blue shirt on.



Cody played soccer the same time as baseball. He was a very busy boy! He loves sports!

Cael graduated from pre-school with his friend Jerom! Cael loves school!



Cole loved his last year in elementary! He had Miss Albaugh for a teacher and she was amazing! He loved her and his class. They played all year long. They went swimming, to clear creek, on a space adventure, played kick ball, had parties and a couple of BBQ's. He was really sad to see it end, especially because he knew he wouldn't start junior high with all his friends. What a great 6th grade year!



Cole earned money being a referee for pre-school age soccer. He earned enough to buy a new skateboard. We bought it on the last day of school. He was thrilled! His friends in 6th grade were really into skateboarding and so thus Cole now loves to skate!

Morgan had a great season of dancing! Their team earned several 1st place awards! She also mastered her roundoff back handspring in tumbling. She was so excited to perform it at the recital.



Cody played baseball for Riverton again this year and had a blast! He got the chance to pitch and catch this year and loved it. Their team took 3rd place. I only enjoy a good baseball game if my child is playing. He was also chosen to play on the Allstar team at the end of the season. Their team took second place in one of the tournaments! They did great and had fun! He had some really great coaches this year.

Morgan's Baptism

Morgan turned eight in May and her baptism was on June 5th. It was extra special because it was grandpa's birthday that day. There are so many kids Morgan's age in the Stake that they had three different times for baptism's. Our ward time was 1:00pm. I had to make some phone calls and get the time changed to 10:30 so grandpa and other family members were able to come to this special event. It worked out great because Morgan was able to see her friend Macklyn and they were both dressed in their white jumpsuits in the chapel together. After Morgan was baptized, we went in the dressing room and Macklyn and her mom were still in there. The girls had the same baptism dress with different shrugs. It was so fun for them to see each other. I am so grateful for all of the support of our amazing family! Morgan was so excited to be baptized. The day was very special! Dad gave her a special gift as well as an amazing blessing. We are so proud of Morgan!
