You Don't Have to Kiss Her...

...to win over your great grandmother...you just can't look like you don't like it:)

CLYDE-IUS CUTE-IUS

This cute little guy is my youngest nephew Clyde, he turned 1 today! He has a lot of names, including Clyde-ius Cute-ius, Clyde-ius Pooppants-ius, and Clyde-ius Nonap-ius. I've been traveling to the area frequently and have been watching him learn to walk, first a step, then a few, last week 20 in a row! Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you are mom) for the Clyde, we hereby coin a new name for him: Clyde-ius Noboob-ius. Good luck on whole milk, Clyde! What a cutie, I LOVE him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLYDE!

High School Football

So YES, its been a while since I posted. And Maddy is in High School now. AND, she is marching in the band, playing clarinet. We attended the first home game Friday night, it was SUPER fun! The band didn't field a show, but she played in the pep band. Her HS team has won the UT State Championship 11 out of the last 13 years (or something super awesome like that but I don't know all the details), and blew out the competition, so it was a fun game to watch.
Nick had a good time with the free popsicles.
And the only shot of Maddy I got was this one at half time. I'll post some more of her soon, she's gotten so beautiful!

6th Grade Graduation

Nick finished elementary school! So sad to see my baby boy grow up, so happy that 6th grade is OVER for one more kid! He received the President's Award For Academic Excellence. His AWESOME teacher, Mrs. Miller.

Dylan finished his academic year, too, but Mrs. Bihlmaier didn't give him a diploma...

Country Fair

Another of the dreaded 6th grade projects (see a few more of them here and here and here), Nick chose Russia for his Country Report. It could have been worse.

Happy Easter

I want this garden!!

Mike and I spent a few days in Williamsburg, leaving the children with Mike's mom. I coveted this garden (and the warm weather that grew it, its still 45-50 degrees in Utah). Mike always loves the weapons.

SERIOUSLY?

Mike's favorite house in Wmsbg...
