Kailie's Graduation

Today was a great day watching my little baby graduate from Utah Valley University. She is finally a teacher and has been offered a job next year teaching at Millcreek Elementary in the first grade. She is so excited about it. We are so proud of her and all her accomplishments. Way to go Kailie!!!!

Cousins and at the Park

On Monday Paul and I watch the kids. It was such a nice day that my mom and I decided to take the kids to the neighborhood park. It was so great to watch my mom climb up the bars and go down the slide with Porter. Who would have thought that she is a great grandma and still looks and acts like she is a kid. The kids had so much fun. Afterwards Holli came over and all the cousins went outside to ride bikes. Next year we are going to have to get Grayson his own bike so they can all ride.

Easter

It was Kailie and Alex's turn to go to his family this year so we had them over for a yummy mountain man breakfast. Then afterwards they dyed Easter eggs for me. It was lot's of fun .

This year we were fortunate to have my parents drive up to spend Easter with us. We had all the kids there except for Kailie and Alex. The weather was perfect and we were even able to BBQ and eat outside. The kids had a fun Easter egg hunt and we enjoyed good food and great company. We even had some yummy strawberry pie and cherry cheesecake for dessert...
