You should've seen the stairs...

So the softest socks in the world, that I was given by my dear friend, turn out to really be a hazard! Yes they are the softest, but what that means is that you can softly slip down the stairs. I was ready to spend the evening all cozy in my sweats and "softest socks" when to my utter surprise, I slipped right down the stairs - scared the poop out of Taylor, I'm sure. These lovely bruises that you can see forming on my fore arms are the result. Yes, of course the bruises will fade with time, but I will NEVER trust the socks again!

Happy 11th Birthday Evan!!

Look at that cute mug! My baby is no longer little. he has joined the ranks of 11 year olds all over. He has also joined Taylor and Dallin at YW/Scouts on Wednesday evenings - that is huge! Where has the time gone!~ We had a terrific family dinner with the Fairbanks (Stormi's kids too!) and Grandma and Papa Dick. Than since Evan's birthday was on a soccer game night, we brought pizza and ice cream to the field and had a soccer birthday party. Lots of fun with Grandma, Papa, Aunt Malia, Grandma Thomas and all of the soccer boys and their families! Plus, they won their game!!

To finish the week off Evan took Caden to go see "Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief" which was terrific! He was so excited to have his day! The only thing that could have made it better was to "have some whizzzz cheese!" This is Evan's new line that he says all the time. He also will perform, on demand, "Bad to the Bone" "Back in Black" or any CSI theme songs of the Who, complete with an air guitar!

Go Evan, our hard rocker!

April 7, 2010 Cub Scouts

Cub Scout Finale!!

After 14 long years of Cub Scout Service (Cub Committee Chair, Cubmasters, Den Leader) Participation and Attendance (8 yr combined total for Dallin and Evan) I am pleased to announce that this is our Cub Scout Finale! Evan has earned his Webelos Badge and Arrow of Light and has officially passed on to the 11-year old scout den. There is definitely something momentous about this day - April 7, 2010. We no longer will have the privilege of attending Pack Meeting - how about a "fire cracker cheer!!" Just a bit of cub scout humor. I want to thank all of the leaders of my boys - they have taught them well and we couldn't have made it to this finale without all of you - you were all awesome and thank you!

Watch our Boy Scouts!!

Snow Runners...

Jelly Bean Taylor...

Okay Where's the Video...

Okay, so I am not as techno savvy as I thought. I couldn't get Evan's recital video loaded but oh well! Here are some pictures from Easter weekend. We have a beautiful sunny day and than a snow filled day. The boys thought it would be fun to see how far they could run in the snow barefoot! Taylor thought she could get me by challenging me to eat black jelly beans - I love them! It is one of our families favorite time of the year, snow and all!

Evan's Recital

Here is our piano player during his Spring Recital. It went really well and were so glad to hear the performance of this song. Taylor played it as well and so we were well acquainted with it!

Great Job Evan!!!
