Kids say the cutest things!

(Tyler reading to his cousin, Avery)
Two nights ago as Tyler was going to bed he told me that his legs hurt. I warmed up some rice bags, put them on his legs, and tucked him in bed. I told him that he was probably having growing pains and I explained a little about that. He said, "Or I am just really tired." Usually he won't admit that any behavior or feeling is because he's tired! The next morning he walked up to me standing tall and said, "So, do I look any taller." It took me a few minutes to realize that it was because of our conversation the night before.

Utah Summer Games in Cedar City

We had a great time in St. George this past weekend. We stayed with Roger and Jill and had fun visiting with them and the kid's all really enjoyed their cousins. On Saturday Ashlee had a gymnastics meet (part of their Summer Games) in Cedar City. She was so excited to have her Nana Jody, Aunt Melanie, cousin's Katie, Hailey, Emma, Chloe and her family there to support her. She did very well. She took SILVER all around! Gold on vault, Bronze on bars, bronze on beam, fourth on flour. She did so well and we are so proud of her. We are sad to see gymnastics end for her, but excited as she moves on to the next step in her life!

Prom

Ashlee went to prom with Colton Barfuss. She had a great time. About a week before prom we decided that I was going to make her dress. It was my first Prom dress and we were both very pleased with it and she looked beautiful! (And there was no unpicking like with her homecoming dress!)

Ashlee and her group match perfectly and they didn't even plan it.

Tea Party
Ashlee and some of her friends planned a fun Tea Party date that was in our backyard. Ashlee's took Evan Braithwaite. Amber, Emily, Brittany, and Tyler were so excited to help.

A fun Spring full of soccer and dance!

Emily had a few dance competitions this spring and her team did really well! This one was taken in Kerns at the competition Dance-A-Rama.

Brittany played soccer on two teams again this year. Mike coached her recreation league and co-coaches her competition team. Both teams played well this year. Next year Brittany will play AAA with Michael co-coaching again. This is a picture of her at the Lone Peak soccer camp. She loved it and learned a lot!

Tyler loves soccer and is very good!

He is very excited that his dad will be his coach next year!
