Addie's Preschool Graduation

I have had a request to share some photos of Addie's preschool graduation, but couldn't help adding some highlights from the rest of the year!  For you, Momma!

Janessa Loses her 1st Tooth!

Janessa lost her first tonight!  A few tears came before she actually let me pull it out, but after she was all smiles!  The excitement in the house was electric as she told us how she is looking forward to making some money and getting people to guess what is different about her.  I can't decide if she or her sisters were more excited about the event. Maybe because it kept them from going to bed a bit longer! She is certain she will never get used to the way her mouth feels now...Ahhh, the fun of firsts!

 

Good Times with Old Friends

The two families who were our neighbors in the house to our left (the same house at different times) came out the same week over their spring breaks.  We were so lucky to have so many friends here with us!  

Morgan and Brynlee: The inseparable duo

Mollie and Addie:  The Busy Bees!

Morgan and Hannah: The Happy Helpers

Maddie and Janessa: The "Pokey Little Puppies"

(Almost) All "Our Girls"

We took our other friends shooting...We are the BEST hosts, right?!

Well, Kristen looks happy about it! Go Shooter!

The poor kids stayed in the van, ate lunch, watched a movie and took their turns two by two.
They were SO thrilled!

Friends are the best!

Hannah, Lauren and their Daddies!

It was very sad and way too quiet here for a while after they left! We had a great time everyone! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your vacation!

Tuscon and Tombstone

Last month we took a trip to Tuscon and Tombstone AZ.  "Really? Why would we want to go down there?" That was my response to BJ, but as usual he was right and we had a great time!

Poor George! Apparently he bought a stolen horse and they hung him before they figured it out!

"Here lies Lester Moore. Four slugs from a .44.
No Les No More"!
 I love this one! Makes me laugh every time!

Two tall drinks of water. This was the beginning of the reenactment of the OK Corral.

BJ had fun asking the ghosts to be in the picture with us. Everyone was ok with it except for Janessa!

THE table Doc Halliday dealt from

We moved on to the Pima Air and Space Museum the next day...The girls loved learning about the planes and trying out their flying skills.

This plane looks like a Grasshopper!

Can this thing REALLY fly?

Hannah and Janessa in space.

Go Southern Arizona!

Daddy-Daughter Time

As many of you know, I have been helping plan a Daddy-Daughter Night for the Activity Day age girls (8-11) in our stake.  It finally came and January 29th, 2011 became a night to remember! There was a short musical program before hand in which all hearts were touched and reminded of the divinity of our beautiful daughters; Yes I was a blubbering mess, but so were all the Dads! Then the fun broke out as Dads and Daughters "cut a rug," made beautiful hair bows (funny watching Dads help with such a crafty task), and enjoyed some food and company. 

Working Hard

Yeah, we finished!

I got a chance to give some love too!

Every Princess needs to T-W-I-R-L!

Fun Family Photos

When we went home for Christmas we were able to take some pictures of the entire family, Scotty included.  It's been a long time coming, but here's a compilation of some favorites:

Merry Christmas!

Because digital Christmas cards allow for last minute attempts, I had to forgo the tangible Christmas cards this year.  Our feelings are no less real however, and we wanted to be sure you knew we were thinking about you.  Merry Christmas to You!  We wish you all the best this season and throughout the coming year!
