Dance Recital

Kinslee and Gretchen had there Christmas dance recital yesterday. It was quite the show.

Gretchen and Kinslee before the show.

Gretchen danced great and has definitely improved each year. Kinslee did not dance. Apparently her shoes didn't fit so she came out crying. She stood on stage covered her eyes with her hand and fake cried. My aunt suggests we put her in drama.  At least she is super cute!

The girls after the show. 

Nutcracker

This year I took Gretchen with me to the nutcracker. She loved watching Noelle and Kendall dancing. We were able to sit by Dianna and Aunt Fran. 

Holly & Jacks Wedding!

We had a fun weekend we were able to go to Idaho to Holly and Jacks wedding.

They had a photo booth, with fun props to use!

Splash Pad

We went to the new splash play with Aunt Andrea and girls this last week.

Kinslee is not a fan of water if it is splashing on her.

So this is how she spent most of her time. Charly is way nice to carry her around.

Kendall dumping water on Easton.

This is the only picture I got of Gretchen, they were running around having such a good time.

Kinslee with goggles on.  

Noelle got hurt so we went to Aunt Andreas and they jumped on the trampoline with the sprinkler under it.

Easton was about to do a trick

Kinslee changed out of her suit and sat on the swing with me.

Gretchen, Kendall, and Easton

I love this picture it totally looks like Easton is yelling at the girls.

South Ogden days

Gretchen danced today at south Ogden days. Here she is with the girls she danced with.

Look at these cute girls!

Kendall and Noelle danced too!

Basketball

Easton started Jr. Jazz and he scored the first shot of the game.  

 Here Easton is on defense. After his game we went to a Weber State Game

 Easton was totally into the game and then when I took the picture he turned and looked.

 Our friends gave us six tickets, so Aunt Andrea watched Kinslee and Marshal and Kendall came with us.  I love Marshals face.

This picture is horrible but it shows proof that we went to Weber State.  Weber State killed the team they were playing.

New Year's Eve

This year for New Years Eve we went to Aunt Andrea and Uncle Chuck's house.  We played games, ate, and just talk.  

 Kinslee had a good time playing Just Dance with Kendall

This is the only picture I took.  

Family Party

This year we were in charge of Chads families Christmas party. 

 Kinslee and Koby in front of the Christmas tree before the party started.

 The only somewhat good picture of all three of my kids. 

 Kinslee loves Santa Clause and was so excited that he came to our party. 

 Gretchen being her cute self.

Easton telling Santa what he wants for Christmas.

We had a good time and I think it went pretty well.  We don't have to worry about planning that again for another eight years. 

Christmas Party and Gingerbread house

Every year I forget to take pictures at our cleverly Christmas party.  This year I got three.

 Kendall and Easton half smiling

Gretchen got to decorate a gingerbread house in Kindergarten. 

She decorated it all buy herself, and it looked super cute.

Gretchen's Christmas Dance Recital

Gretchen has been dancing for two years, and this year she was so excited for her dance recital. 

Here is a picture of Gretchen in front of the tree before we left for the show.

Noelle is Gretchen's student teacher this year and Gretchen loves having Noelle in her class each week. It is fun being able to see Charly, Noelle, and Kendall dance also.

Our whole family, Kinslee was surprisingly pretty good, she almost wasn't invited because she is loud and wont sit very long. 

Gretchen did so good, we are so proud of her!

Halloween 2012

Gretchen started the day with a Kindergarten Halloween program.

 Kinslee found a friend in uncle Kyle.  She realized that he would open any candy she wanted.

Cherry Hill

Aunt Andrea invited us to go to Cherry Hill with her yesterday.  They all had a wonderful time.

Kinslee wanted to swim without a life jacket the whole time.

getting ready to jump in.

Gretchen

Pirates Cove was the best place for kinslee since she didn't want anyone to touch her and just wanted to swim on her own.
