Happy Father's Day

I was so excited for Father's Day this year. I felt like we got Chase the best gifts, and had the day all planned out. It was a great day. What made it even better is they canceled all of his Sunday meetings so he was home with us all morning and afternoon. It was really nice. We got Chase a new camera, candy and a new wallet. We made him breakfast in bed and after dinner that night we made pizookie. We took a lot of pictures with the new camera.I am so thankful for Chase. He is the best person and father to our children that I could ever have imagined! Thank you Chase.

Hannah's Dance Recital

Hannah did a great job at her recital this year. She has really improved, since she started going to this studio. They are more of a Ballet studio and so they are a lot better at the type of dance she does. The theme this recital was a tribute to Andrew Loyd Weber. She did a dance from Phantom of the opera. The pictures turned out horribly.

Hiking with Paka

We went on a hike and a picnic the day my dad had to leave. The kids had a lot of fun!

Nanny and Papa come to visit

While Nanny and Papa where here we had a lot of fun. We celebrated chases bday, went to school programs, saw Hannah's dress rehearsal, went bowling,had a barbeque at the lake, went out to eat and Papa's favorite he got to do some yard work. Papa loves to do yard work and plant flowers. Every time they come into town he gets the yard in order. The boys have so much fun working with him!

Chase is Twelve!

I can not believe that Chase is 12 years old! It has flown by. He is such a good boy and great example to all of his other siblings! I am so thankful that I got to have him and that he is the oldest, and such a great help to me. He is the greatest kid! I am so happy that he was so excited to get the priesthood and be able to pass the sacrament. It is so fun to be able to watch him do that. Nanny and Papa and my dad where able to come to help with the ordination, it was a great day. I am thankful that they where able to be here for that special day. For his big 12th birthday we took him to Ruth's Chris Steak House, he was so excited to go. ( Hannah is also excited to go for her 12th bday and thought that Chase should have to wait until after she has been able to go, she kinda doesn't get that she is not the oldest and it is not her birthday!) Chase happened to be born on Nanny and Papa's anniversary so we also celebrated that. I can not believe that my little baby that started this family is growing into a young man! It goes way to fast! I love him!

End of School

We have been so busy I am so far behind on my blog. It seems like we have been going none stop for months. I am going to try to catch up on all of it, so that I have it documented. We did not get out of school until the 17th of June. It seems really weird to get out that late but we don't start until Sept. so I guess it all works out. The last week we had poetry readings, music performances and kindergarten graduation. We also had Chases parents in town and my dad was in town. Little Chase turned 12 that week and was ordained. I will put up a few if the school events and move on to the next event.
