Cousins!

What's a trip up north without visiting Ruthie and Macky!  While we were at conference halie stayed with Ruthie and had a blast!

These two were two peas in a pod!

If one a had car, the other had to have one.  They were so cute together!!  Just like the girls they are so much alike!!

Everyone cheered for Brock while he went to bathroom on the big boy toilet!

We think Brock grew a foot and that Macky might be a football player!

And these girls are definitely going to be fashion models! Love them!

Megan made yummy soup for us!  We. Had a blast!

First Trip to Conference

Jeff and I have NEVER been to conference!  I don't know why we've never gone, but for some reason this year jeff got the itch to go and I am so glad he asked for tickets and actually got some!  We were so excited to be at the conference center, and take just Micah on this special date!  We drove up Friday afternoon, and came home Saturday night but it was a great quick trip!

Getting ready to hop on tracks!  It was FREEZING!

Micah was BEYOND excited!  He loves trax!

I was trying up get Micah to eat, he held that cracker the whole train ride, he said he was to excited to eat!

We sat by a lady on the train that came all the way from London, England to be @ Conference!  Micah couldn't believe it!

There were SOOO MANY PEOPLE!  It was amazing!  A few protestors.  They made Micah nervous, he held our hands. Look at that smile!  He was thrilled to be there!

And we made it!  It's so pretty there!

Cutest boy. He loved every second!

Wow!  It was fun watching all the seats fill in!  Wondering where everyone came from!

So glad to be his mom!!  He said a few times.. Didn't it feel Weird in there, and I said what do you mean,weird good, or weird bad?  He said a good weird.  That Micah is the spirit I told him!  He's growing up so fast!  He really is such a good kid, spiritually wise beyond his years.  He's always LOVED church and he will be the best missionary one day!

Reading "Group"

Halie goes to a little reading group for reading everyday @ school.  Apparently getting a 85 % on her dibels test puts her in the very low of the class.  Who knew our school was filled with such brilliance!  But anyways, the program is awesome so I signed the paper and thought it definitely can't hurt!  Her reading teacher is awesome and sends me notes home weekly about how well halie is doing!

I laughed when this note came home!  I'm glad someone appreciates my efforts in dressing her!! Ha! Too funny!

She is doing awesome!

And I must say she does look like a doll most days!

Lucky Little Lady

This girl had about the BEST DAY EVER this week!  She came running in the door from school announcing that she was student of the month with Micah behind her saying how they called her name over the microphone!  She was thrilled... And then...

We headed to gymnastics where she got "team captain" and got a king size candy bar!  Her day couldn't have been any better!

Oh and the day before this her reading teacher called and told me that she scored so high on her recent test and is doing so awesome that she doesn't really need to be in reading recovery (which I told them in the first place) She said when she tested her before she must have been nervous because in the 3 weeks she's been going she's worked miracles!  Ha!  This is one smart cookie right here! So proud of her!  (See previous post!)

Quick trip to Vegas

Jeff had to go to a training in Vegas, so last minute (literally) I decided to go!  I picked the kids up from school early and we hoped in the car with jeff and headed down!  It was so fun to see Micah and Whitney and all their new things!  They just got a new car, a new babies room, decked to the hilt, and Micah just got and interview to NA (?) school!  So excited for them!

We had to do a little shopping!

And a little eating!

^ uncle mike even joined us!

And > we had to do a little dreaming...

It was a fun quick trip!  Wish they lived closer, but glad they live close enough for a day trip!

A good sister...

Cheers for you when you go to the bathroom, wipes your bottom,

And gets you a prize!

Football game!

We went to the pine view/Desert hills football game on Friday night and had so much fun with Matt and Becky!  The kids were being so cute I had to take some pics!

Love this of the boys!  Micah just loves Brock!

Halie in her new boots!

Halie watched the cheerleaders with great intent!  Here she was showing Brock them.  They stood like this for 5 minutes.  Brock loves halie!
