Black eye

Tyler was hitting golf balls with the boys next door.  He somehow hit the ball in a way that it came shooting straight up and struck him in the eye.  It swelled immediately and over the next day or two turned dark purple.

Lettuce wraps

I made Chinese lettuce wraps for dinner.  I asked the kids to set the table. When they saw what we were having, they really wanted to eat on the floor like the Chinese do.  Before I knew it, our table was moved out of the kitchen and we had a nice table setting with candles on the floor.  

Emily's Drill Team Perfomances

At the end of the year we are sad to see some of these girls leave and all these wonderful routines come to an end, but we are anticipating a great next year.  Lone Peak has a fantastic Drill team.  Go Chevaliers!

Congratulations girls!  Great job.

New York!

The first week of March, the drill team went to nationals in New York.  They had a great time taking dance classes from professional dancers, sight seeing, and going to see "Wicked" on Broadway.  Amber went as a chaperon.  They both had a great time.

Emily and Amber are ready for their red eye flight.
Look at the different sizes of their bags!

A Cathedral

Ferry ride to.... Staten Island? In an attempt to get to the statue of Liberty, 
the girls accidentally boarded a Ferry taking them to Staten Island making for an hour delay. 
They did get to go to the Statue of Liberty once they go back from Staten Island.

Central Park

The travel agent messed up and got them Wicked tickets for Friday night, but their detailed itinerary had them down going on Saturday.  It was so disappointing.  They went anyway on Saturday with Friday night tickets to see if they could still get in.  The manager allowed 14 of them in to sit on a stairway.  A few girls said they had seen it just recently and let the others go.  The drill coach asked Amber to go so that there was still a chaperon with them.  Amber and Emily said that even though they were on the floor, they had great seats and had a wall to lean against.  The travel agency refunded all their money for the tickets.

BYU Vocal Point

Ashlee and Jordan came to visit for the weekend a couple of weeks ago.  It was so fun to have them for a few days.  We went to the Conference Center in Salt Lake to see Vocal Point perform.  Vocal Point is a group of BYU students who sing and do percussion sounds with their voices.  They were amazing.

Braces off!

Brittany got her braces off this morning.  After four years of braces, look at that pretty smile!  She got her first set of braces on five years ago and had them for two years.  She had a one year break while waiting for permanent teeth and then got them back on for another two years.

Family Fun

Silly, wonderful kids and friends

Tyler's turn with Curious George from his classroom

Happy Birthday, Nanny

Nanny and Papa came over last night for Sunday dinner and to celebrate Nanny's  birthday.  We always love to grandparents come!  Happy birthday, Nanny.

Happy Birthday, daddy!

Tyler got daddy a flag football game.  As a family, we love to play either soccer  or wiffle ball most summer nights.  Now we can  add flag football to our evening game list.

The final Pirates movie from Emily and Brittany.  I got him a brand new 40" flat screen  TV .

Happy Birthday, honey.  We all love you so much!

Jr Jazz Basketball

Tyler had a lot of fun playing junior jazz this year.  He had a great team and they did well!  Tyler usually was put in as point guard because of his great dribbling.  As you can see from the pictures he was always paying attention, ready, and a fast runner.

Mid season the kids were invited to a local junior high to meet a Jazz player.  Gordon Hayward was the Jazz player. He did some fun activities with the kids and gave them all an autographed picture.

Emily's first date and school dance

Preference

Traditionally the drill team goes to Preference together.  They planned a fun day date to go tubing at Soldier Hollow, but with the bad weather it was closed that day.  Instead they went to Jack and Jill's to bowl, play laser tag, and play video games.  Before the dance they went to dinner at La Jolla Groves.
