Piano Performances.

 Preston and Shaylee preformed for the school talent show.  They are awesome like that.  I was never that brave to play in front of others.  The both did so amazing, and we are so proud of them.

Shaylee's Teamwork Report

 Shaylee had to do a report on the subject of Teamwork in her 3rd grade class.  She came home and said she wanted to do it on Dean's Job.  I thought that was neat, since most of the kids think of sports when they think of teamwork.  She gets so embarrassed to get in front of people, so she starts talking quietly, and it's hard to hear her.  She did great however, and was the only one who did a report on their parents work.  Great Job Shaylee.

Presidents Day!!

{Presidents day…AKA a day with the whole family}

We had such a fun and relaxing Presidents day.  We kinda went low key.  We had been in St. George all weekend with soccer tournaments and we new how crowded it was with all the baseball, soccer tourney's, and the parade of homes.  So we wanted to stay away from that mess for the most part of the day.  We ended up going to the park with Grandpa, Grandma Eves, Stephanie,and Matt and the cousins.  We don't just go to the park to play, we make it into an America Ninja Warrior course.  Everyone was timed, and you couldn't fall or touch the ground.  Even Grandma did it, She pretty much nailed it.  After the warrior course we headed over to play some kick ball, adults against kids.  Boy howdy…I've never seen Dean or Matt throw a ball that hard at their kids.  They were really getting into it.  I was laughing at how funny it was.  I'm not sure who won…probably the kids, we had a few missed catches.  ;)  After kick ball we made it over to the basketball court where things really got heated up.  We played lightning, and had a blast.  We ended the morning with a trip to DQ for lunch and ice-cream.  The weather was amazing for February and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  After lunch we put Brecken down for a nap…boy did he need one.  While he was napping Dean took the kids over to the tennis courts, and they played tennis.  We then all went down to look a some more Parade of Homes.  The kids believe it or not love going, and we all have a great time.  I sure do love long weekends, and my husband and kids getting to be home that extra day was so fun and great family time.

Preston with our hello kitty kick ball.  It's the only one Walmart had besides Princess Sofia.  He took the lesser of the two evils he said.

Valentines Day!!!

Addison had asked all week to have her hair done in hearts.  My cousin Lea was down that day so she helped me pull it off.  We had Soccer tournaments all weekend.  Starting Friday afternoon.  So after helping in classes with Valentine parties.  Preston had his first game.  We then played Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon.  The boys did well.  Preston had a good weekend.  We then met up Saturday night with the family for a Valentine play and dinner.  It was really fun to be all together, and the company was great, and the play was fun.  Definitely a hard weekend to celebrate Valentines on, with presidents day being there too, but we fit it in when we could.  I sure do love my Husband, and my kids.

A little bit of everything...

A couple weeks ago we got to have some of our cousins come stay the night.  The kids were so excited.  We decided to get some tacos for the kids for dinner so Dean got two 12 packs of tacos.  There were 7 kids, and between them all there was 2  tacos left over from the 24.  They were hungry little guys.  The next day was 9 o'clock church.  We were up bright and early to get everyone ready.  We even had time to spare.  We had such a great time and love to hang out with our cousins.   The next day I got to babysit for a friend of mine.  She also has 4 kids.  The youngest is just a couple months older then Brecken.  So I had 8 kids at 7am Monday morning that needed to be fed and ready for school.  It actually went rather smoothly, and the day flew by.  Everyone one got along for the most part, except Breck, and his new friend.  Whatever the one had the other wanted.  Other then that it was fun for the kids to have other kids to play with and be around.

We of course had to get our Valentines ready for school at the end of the week, the kids have so many kids in their class.  I had to buy the valentines that carried the most in them.

Brecken and I ventured out and went to story time at the library.  We ready books about Valentines then the kids all made a valentine friend.  Breck wasn't so sure about any of it, but I'm hoping the more we go the more he will get used to being around others besides family.

Breck has always loved Apples..he will eat them and work on them for hours.  The older kids wanted Peanut Butter with their after school snack, so Breck wanted to try.  No more apples…Hello Peanut Butter.  He licked his plate clean, he loved it so much.

Basketball season has come to an End!!

 We are finished with the basketball season.  It was so fun to watch all three games every Saturday.  The girls learned so much this year.  Shaylee, played awesome and has a great shot, plus she is amazing on defense.  Addison, Loved Defense, she stole the ball from the little girls none stop, she too also made lots of baskets this year.  Preston played with the 5-6th graders, so it was his turn to be one of the younger ones.  On his team though he was one of the taller ones.  He had to go up against some big 6th graders.  He did pretty good this year learning a new position (Post).  He so skinny he had to really get in there and fight for the rebounds.  He did though, and he did awesome this year.  He has a great shot, and is awesome with the ball.   Next year can't come soon enough.
