Early Morning Spectrum 10K, St George, March 2013

 Samantha and Bret had soooo much energy for how early we were up. They really enjoyed running together and were so great at supporting each other. They have become such great friends.

 Still tired and not feeling well... I wasn't sure if I could get through this run or not. It was very very difficult... a lot of run/walk/ .... how much farther left?.... didn't I have that far to go 20 minutes ago?.. anyways.... the accomplishment was in simply finishing. It was exhausting, but great to finish and be there with the kids and Bret.

Before the race,... getting all of our chip timing set on our shoes. :)

YW overnight trip to the cabin, March 2013

 Samantha had so much fun at the Young Womens overnight trip to the cabin... there was much of fun and laughing, playing games, staying up late talking, sharing their favorite scriptures, and really learning to know each other better and build even greater unity and friendship.

St Patricks Days

 The 3 younger ones all had fun in their green shirts... they still love the magic of the leprachaun

 Fun leprachaun breakfast and snacks for the day, along with green pancakes, green milk, and little green footprints hidden all around the house.... and a little treasure of chocolate gold coins. :)

Highlights from March

Time seems to fly.... and I am very behind on my posting, so I am going to try to catch up the next few months with some pictures.

 TylerKate and her "Pajama Day" at school with her matching dollie named "Katie" :)

 Samantha at her Spring Concert. They did a great job. We always love going to watch her sing.

Tanner loves his time with dad at night reading together on his bed! He is a good little reader!.

More Cousin Time! :)

The girls had a great time completing some fun crafts... they each made a scripture journal and a values notebook. They turned out soooo cute! The kids had fun with legos, scooters, basketball, pogo stick, games, movies, just hanging out together, walks, hamburger, pancakes, caramel corn (YUM!!), and just being together. Stephanie was great at making us laugh with all the cute things she says and her big smile. Dan and Ashley had a serious game of chess. Danny and Bretty were able to attend a BYU basketball game together. The two little girls (Tyler and Savannah) had fun playing house, making forts, coloring, and just running around being silly together. They loved giving Buddy attention and treats and taking him for walks. It was really nice to get to spend time together! I wish I had gotten a picture of Julies new hair-do. It looked darling! I always love spending time with family!

COUSIN TIME!! :)

We had a lot of fun having Dan and Julie and the cousins down. They came down from Thursday to Saturday and we really enjoyed our time with them. We got to take most of them over to see the Payson temple site and they were able to go out on the observation deck and see the work being done on the temple.

3/1/2013 Brets last basketball game

Bret has loved doing basketball this year. He had a great last game and did really well. He scored 10 points, including a left handed shot with someone blocking him. He almost got a 3 pointer in at the end.... it went in and then out of the basket. He just loves getting to play. It was also a lot of fun to have his Uncle Dan and cousin Danny there to see him play. He has learned a lot about teamwork and working hard. It has been a great experience for him.
