Year End Awards!

OK So Alissa finished school today, Zoey has 9th grade Lagoon Day tomorrow and then she is done, but Jocelyn, Stone, Hunter and Mom have until 1:05 pm on Friday and "Schools Out For Summer"I can't believe how ready I am to actually get back to cleaning my house and working in the yard, let alone getting caught up on everything else in our lives.
At the School Awards Assemblies today Zoey, Oquirrh Hills Middle School 9th grade, received the "Dance Award" for outstanding Dancer ( a little trophy, too cute)
Jocelyn got a fun award today, North Star Academy 8th grade, Most Artistic in Art and outstanding student for getting over 3.60 gpa the whole year. So just another day in the life of 3 teenage girls and 2 little guys.

Dance Crew, Better late than never!

I wanted you all to see the HIP-HOP queen that lives on Forest Meadow Drive. This is the audition video from the National Dance Competition on May 16th. My friend was awesome enough to video this for me and brought me over her SD Card so I could put it on here. Mind you the guy in the front is the teacher, however I think Zoey could have taught him a thing or two! She is the one in the middle in the Orange and white tank/ black pants, even though the guy covers her for some of the video, watch the crazy SPAZ next to her. We were laughing so hard watching her try to create her own moves. We have a longer video that shows audition and final, but it is over 6 minutes long and don't want to totally bore you! ENJOY!!!!! ( By the way the Actual Video is supposed to be on the Champion Productions Web Page, but they are yet to post it........)

Zoey & Makenna are "15"! 5/30/2009

Can't believe it has been 15 years since I went to the Hospital in the middle of the night with Chris and Alissa (14 months at the time) and 45 minutes later our family grew from 3 to 4. We were all very surprised to have Zoey come that fast and at 3 1/2 weeks early. But the Lord works miracles everyday. At 5lbs 5 oz and 16 inches long, Zoey and Mom were back home by 6pm that same day. She was the size of a Water Baby (doll), or a sack of flour and perfect in every way. She came into this word in a hurry and and has been hurrying ever since.



Alissa was really excited to be a big sister, however I am sure she thought we brought her home a new toy!

Makenna & Zoey (6/1994)


Zoey & Makenna(5/30/2009)

Meanwhile, we received a call from Chris's Brother Ryan, who informed us that his wife Wendy was in labor with their little girl, Makenna, who was born on that same day ( 18 hours apart) They have been tight ever since.
They celebrated their birthday's together this year, like every other year in the past. This year they planned it all themselves and spent the night with 4 of their close friends at Makenna's and then went boating in Ryan's Boat to the lake. Ryan, the brave one that he is, was surrounded by water and females, 10 + wife to be exact. They had a great time and then came back to our house for dessert. I am amazed at how these girls have grown and how much they love each other and how proud we are of them and who they have become.
