Preschool Program

Riley had her Preschool Graduation Program.

She prepared herself a head of time by 

memorizing her part. We all thought she would

be to nervous to say her part but she said it! 

That was the first time she said her part. 

In church she has always been to nervous to

say the Article of Faith or the prayer.

We are so proud of you Riley!

Memorial at Bear Lake

This year for Memorial we spent the weekend

up at the cabin. Like every year! It is only a 2 hour 

drive but my girls get sick easy and hate the drive,

so we packed a lunch and stopped half way right before

Logan Canyon. The girls did a little fishing. Of course

no bites. But they had fun! 

I love this picture of Bran and Riley with their

fishing polls and the beautiful pond and mountain.

Paige likes to just reel it in.

Fishing is not a good hobby for kids. 

They have a short attention spand.  

Sierra with the fishing pole in one hand and

her bag of chips in the other! 

The girls got a little to close to the mommy duck

and her eggs.  It made Paige jump a little when

she came after them. 

We love the Hungry Bear Pizza Place! 

So usually Memorial Weekend up at the Cabin

is spring cleaning and working time. But

we do manage to get a little fun in. 

Brandon was burning some of the tall weeds down

which looks like work but not for Bran.  Anything

with fire is fun!

Okay here is us having fun. Or humoring

a 5yr old. Riley kept herself busy by making

us girls earrings, bracelets and necklaces out of

string she found in the garage and paper. 

Don't we look beautiful! 

Katie and Joshie!

Sierra just loved being outside and Free! 

This is Sierra's newest favorite thing. Watching

T.V.  and not just cartoons but the DVD of 

"Barbie and the Diamond Castle".

I'm not sure why.  But she is kicking back and relaxing. 

Glued to the Computer

My mom moved to Idaho when she got

married last summer and so the girls

don't get to see her as often as she or they

would like. 

So for fun my mom calls them on the

computer and this time she read them

a book. It was so funny to see them glued

to the computer as she read them a story.

Plus I was able to run down stairs and do

some laundry with out them bugging me! 

Thanks mom! You can call anytime! 

Riley's last day of Preschool

For Riley's last day of school

they had a swim party.

It was a little cold and windy that day.

But I did get a few pictures of them 

dancing and singing in the class room.

They sang a cute song with a hanker chief. 

And each verse of the song the hanker chief was

something different. Such as a Cape which is what Riley

is doing in this picture. Flying. And it can also be a 

donkey tail, ghost, or hula dancer. 

Riley had Preschool this year with one of her

good friends Lincoln.

Mothers Day

What a wonderful Mothers Day!

I am so lucky to have such sweet

beautiful girls and a loving husband

in my life!

I'm even more lucky to have 2 amazing mothers

in my Life. I have learned so much from them both.

I love and admire all they do.

I love you Mom Avery and Mom Gardner!

On Mothers Day we went to the Gardner Home for dinner.

Spring

 I wanted Easter pictures by our flowers in the

back but they were not in bloom on Easter.

So I took some a couple of weeks later after church. 

And this is what I got. My girls take after

their parents and are not photogenic! 

It is a miracle if we get then all to smile

at the same time. But....

This is the first one I took and Sierra is pulling the, 

what is going on face. As if Mom has never taken 

a picture before. Okay by now you would think

my girls would know what to do for how many 

pictures I take!

The sun was in their eyes so we moved and then

Sierra was trying to get my attention by pointing

at the bees.

Then Riley and Sierra started clapping. What? 

Okay this one is my favorite! Out of no where

Sierra pulls this funny face. First time I've seen her do it.

 I know she got it from her sisters but I did not 

know she knew how! So funny! 

Paige just staring at her and Riley posing for the camera. 

We tried the ladder. No luck there! 

They were all too hyper by then. 

We gave up and decided to go to the trails. 

Ever since uncle Mikel took them to the trails

to ride their bikes they are always asking to go.
