Cambrie's Piano Recital

Cambrie had her piano recital tonight. She has the best piano teacher, Molly Collings. She has just excelled since she started taking lessons from her. She is so positive and encouraging and really challenges Cambrie. I used to have to constantly get on Cambrie to practice and I haven't had to since she has taken from Molly. The recital was fun and Cambrie did great! I hope this is something she continues to want to learn.

Parker gets his Wolf Scout Badge!

Parker earned his Wolf Badge in Cub Scouts tonight. The theme tonight at the pack meeting was "In The Spotlight". They had a walk of fame and Parker had his own star. He also had his face painted and then the boys showed us their skills of tying knots. So proud of you bud!

Mykenna is 6!!!

Mykenna is 6 years old today! It was a very fun filled day! She opened her gifts from us in the morning and enjoyed all of her new crafting supplies. After lunch we had her friend party. She and 6 little friends over and they had fun decorating aprons and cupcakes , playing games and dressing up, and opening gifts of course. After her friend party we cleaned up and made her cake for her family party a few hours later. She loves coloring and crafting right now so we made her a crayon birthday cake. For the family party we had cake and ice cream and opened gifts. She was thoroughly spoiled and couldn't decide which gift to play with first.

Some thoughts about Mykenna:
*Has always been so willing to help out.
*Such a little mother. Loves little kids and wants to carry them around even if they are almost her same size.
*Loves her older sister and wants to be just like her.
*Loves to color and make things.
*Our little diva. She loves to dress up.
*Loves jewelry and make up.
*Very social. Loves to play with friends and family.
*Loves school and loves to learn. She is a great reader.
*Concerned about others. Has a tender heart.
*Has a contagious laugh.

Happy Birthday Mykenna! We Love you!

Miss America Pageant

I was so lucky to be able to go to Vegas with my Mom and Ken and some extended family to support our cousin, Anna Nelson, who is Miss Wyoming in the Miss America Pageant. We left on Thursday and came home on Sunday. Rob was so awesome and took Friday off so I could go. We had a ball. We shopped, ate, shopped some more, had some great girl talks and saw the sites. I even gambled for the first time ever. Don't think badly of me... I put a dollar in a penny slot machine and got up to $2 and then lost it. That was enough for me. Not a gamblin' gal. On Saturday we attended the Miss America Pageant. It was great to be there supporting Anna! She is an amazing person and we are so proud of her and the standards she has and the example she is. It was a great experience. Thanks Mom!

We have the best neighbors!!!

Check out all the fun we had tonight with our neighbors. We live in the best neighborhood! We are very blessed to be surrounded by great people. Tonight the Terry's pulled out their four wheelers and snow mobile and pulled the kids around the cul de sac on sleds. They had so much fun, I was considering getting my snow gear on and hoping on one of those saucers! Thanks Terry's!

Uncle Kyle Entertainment

We had lunch with Uncle Kyle, Aunt Hilly, Uncle Ken and Aunt Kellee today. After lunch the kids were entertained by Uncle Kyle. It was amazing how long they all stayed in one spot and did everything he asked them to. Tossing the balls back and forth and laying down and lifting your arms and legs at different times. Kyle you need to open a preschool or... just come and watch my kids for me? What to do ya say?

Fun with Friends

Check out these little divas!! Mykenna was so excited to have her friend Emma come for a playdate. They both have great imaginations and play so well together. They came upstairs dress like this and I had to snap a picture.
