Bakin Betty

Lindsey just baked this Pineapple Upside Down Cake. She did such an awesome job!! It was her idea, and she did it all herself. She loves to bake, bake, bake, but this is the best thing she has done yet! I had to take a picture of it. Good job Linds. This girl has got skills if I do say so myself.

Utah!!




Lindsey's 4th grade program. She did such a good job. They learned about Utah this year and sang the cutest songs, and learned a line dance. Then they went to Lions Park for a Rondevouz. They learned about Native Americans, made leather purses, played games and went for a ride on a real covered wagon. It was so great! We are truly blessed as members of the church to have the heritage we have with the pioneers. This beautiful state would not be what it is today without them, and their sacrifices.

Mary Mary Quite Contrary

I am such a blog slacker!! So here we go on catch up. No pun intended.


Mary mary quite contrary how does your garden grow?

Well, not sure yet. This is actually my first ever garden. Yes, I know how silly but when you grow up in Vegas your gardening skills are limited.Our sweet neighbor let us use her garden plot. It is huge! So we only used 1/2. She had all these fun tools to use too. Couldn't tell you what the names are,but you'll see in the pics.
Somehow that got on the bottom. Anyway. See the fun thing Wade got to use? (Any names would be helpful)

This N That

Lindsey and Brett attended a Bicycle Safety Class at an Ins. Agency on Main Street. It was so fun. They got water bottles, pens, cookies and buttons. There are so many fun things to do here for our kids. It is great!
My little Ms. Independent. She loves to do everything by her self. Whoopsey!
I don't know what we'll do when summer is finally here. She loves to dress up in winter gear so much, I guess we will have to switch to summer gear. She likes to put all this on, but with no clothes. I tell you what, Brett and Paityn are 2 peas in a pod! Luckily Brett has grown out of the whole naked stage. AAAH. Relief
OH! Here is the summer gear, maybe we wont have too much of a problem.
However, she does have clothes on this time. Maybe there is hope :)

She absolutely loves the camera now. She wanted to take a picture with applesauce on her face. Kids. She hasn't started posing yet though like Lindsey did, so we'll see. Man, kids are awesome! I don't know why this al l ended up like this. It didn't look like this when I was typing it.

Crazy Cool Trampoline stuff




Last Saturday morning, Wade challenged Brett to learn a backflip and land it. It took 10 minutes and he was doing it. That and a side flip (not sure if that is made up or not). He is so excited you could hear him outside saying to himself: O.K. you can do it!, YAHOO!! I did it!
Now, the Saturday Wade was trying to teach him to flip backwards twice and land it. After 2x falling on his neck I called a stop to the whole thing! One is O.K. 2 is nutz! Call me overprotective, but I could see that boy in a wheelchair.
The same challenge was given to Lindsey and she is a little to scared for the backflip. No Problem here! I don't mind a bit!
