Ashlyns Baptism Pictures

This week I took Ashlyn in to get pictures in her Baptism dress. I'm might be a little biased, but I think that she looks like an Angel.

Most Improved!!!

This week we went to Brennan's Awards Dinner for Hockey. It was fun to see all the kids and parents there. They spotlighted the Seniors, and gave a few more awards out. To our surprise, Brennan recieved the award of "Most Improved Player on the J.V. team." He was the only Freshmen to get an award. I could tell he was excited, but of course you have to play it cool, because all your buddies are there.

Sorry I don't have any actual pic's of the dinner, or awards ceremony. I brought my camera, but was afraid of being disowned by Brennan if started snapping away. I refrained until we got home, where he gladly posed for this picture.

On a seperate note, my camera has come back to life! It got all blurry in St. Thomas, and I'd given up hope. Even the guy at the camera store pronounced it DOA. But, I picked it up the other day, and surprise, surprise. It worked just fine!! (strange)

Ski-Swim-Spring Break

This year for spring break we headed for the hills. Will found a condo in Park City just across the street from the Park City Ski resort. Brennan is in heaven. Will and Brookie, McKinley and Ashlyn made this skiing snowman.


Will took the four oldest kids skiing/boarding today, so I thought I would post some pictures. It snowed about 2 feet up here yesterday. Perfect for snowmen. Brennan enjoyed the fresh powder yesterday.


We are also eating lots and lots of yummy food, and swimming. The pool is outdoors. It is nice and warm, but the walk back to the room is like walking on the dark side of the moon.


I'm hauling Brooklynn down to the slopes to take pictures of the kids later today, so I'll post some of those. (I'm hoping to bring Ashlyn home, so Will can hit the slopes on his own.
This is not the perfect pregnant woman vacation, but I am hitting the outlets. :)

Baptism

Ashlyn was baptised the last weekend in March. We were so proud of her choice. She is such a sweet girl She looked like an Angel.

It was very touching to see all of Ashlyn's Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. Some of them drove a very long ways to come.


I tried to make a deal with Ashlyn. I told her she could pick out her Baptism dress, if she would let me pick out her wedding dress. She wouldn't go for it.
We love you Ashlyn!

Ashlyn's 8

Ashlyn turned 8 last month. She had a party at the Lion House to celebrate. The parties there are great. It was so nice not to worry about anything. Especially still feeling yucky from my pregnancy.


The girls had fun pulling taffy, and playing old fashioned games.



I can hardly believe my little Ashlyn is eight! She is such a sweet, thoughtful, caring, (overly emotional) little angel. We adore her!

(Click on March 15th above to see the video)
This morning my kids got to go with our friend Ann, and do a spot for atv safety on the news. This is just a small clip. The kids had fun, even though they had to get up at 4:30 am to be out there for the shoot. Which was insane right after the time change! They said that Casey was really great, and lots of fun. In this shot, Brennan and McKinley are riding the atv's and Conner is doing what Conner does. Ashlyn is not in this segment, except when they breifly pan down on her. :( But she was very cute in her spots.


P.S. We are working with Conner on his humility. :)

Get Away

This past weekend Will had to go down to St. George for work. My sweet mom watched the kids for us, so I tagged along. Will pretty much planned the weekend, so it was more of an adventurous weekend, than your typical "romantic" getaway.
We stayed at these amazing condo's that are super nice. (we mooch off my parents time share, and get bonus time so they are amazingly cheap too!!) They have a fishing pond just a few hundred yards from the condos. We fished to our hearts content and caught around 35 fish! Will won the prize for the biggest fish.

We also went shooting. I'm not so hot, but I did hit the target a few times. I can claim a couple of the dings in the target.

We also went to the Temple. It was a first for both of us to go to a session in the St. George Temple. It was BEAUTIFUL! We really enjoyed ourselves.

A highlight was visiting my Great Aunt and Uncle, Glenda and Bert. Bert is my Granddad's little brother. Being with them made me miss my Grandparents so much! I wasn't prepared for that. It was wonderful talking with them. They are amazing people!

Well, I start my second trimester tomorrow! I can't wait to start feeling better. It was great to get away with my sweetheart and take a break. It turned out to be a very adventurous AND romantic weekend. Thanks sweetie.
