A little pick me up!!

When Brynn got home from school she said she needed a little pick me up! All I can say is I know its not good but its the facts. When we are having one of those days we head into Richfield for a road trip to get some ICE CREAM!!! It always makes a girl feel better :)

Garrett and Zoe

This is what Garrett does on a nice day! He loves to ride his long board and is teaching Zoe to ride with him. I think she is just to fat and scared to jump off!! But it is cute.

Brynn's Hair

Sorry I have been slacking off with the blog I promise I am back to it:) Last week Brynn had her hair cut and colored it is so cute!! She had 4 inches cut off but in now looks so healthy and she loves it!

Home Run Baby!!

Garrett hit a home run in Thursday nights game it was AWESOME!! Last night they played Wayne and won 11 to 2 this is Wayne's first loss of the season. So our team is in first place in the league. Grandpa and Uncle Collin came off the mountain from turkey hunting to watch the game. So Garrett had a big cheering section last night. I have to keep the book so I have yet to get pictures of him pitching and batting but I will!!!!!!

Happy Secretaries Day!

Today I got to work to find flowers and cookies and a really sweet note from my principal on my desk. I love my job so much!! Everyday I go to work and think I am so lucky to have this job and I am happy to go everyday. So the flowers were like a great bonus. The note said Happy Secretaries Day! Thank you for all you do! You are appreciated!

Hey Batter Batter

Garrett had a baseball game Tuesday and one Thursday. He is the Yankee's starting pitcher. So far he has struck out 12 out of 14 kids pitching 2 innings each game and not one of them has hit off him! Baseball is his favorite sport so he spends hours outside pitching at a target in the backyard. Last night they played in the snow. Justin came home and told me the things the coaches say like " check that kids birth certificate" and " know one is going to hit off Garrett if he keeps pitching like that". It is so fun to watch your son doing good at the thing he loves most. One of the kids on Garrett's team asked Justin (who is the assistant coach) if Garrett is aloud to pitch that fast? LOL Then commented that he is glad he is on Garrett's team so he won't have to hit off of him. So far its been a great start in the season. Plus they asked him to play up on the 13 year old team!! Fun FUN!

WICKED!!!!

Dane got to go to wicked today with Cindy and her family. He said it was so awesome!! First they went to the Capital Building then to the Lion house to eat lunch. After that they went to the Joseph Smith Building to see the Temple views and then to WICKED at the Capital Theater. He said he had the time of his life today!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Today we colored eggs for Easter. Brynn and Landon were first to color them. Until Garrett came home with Kyler then they finished them up. They turned out really cute. But I think everyone has stained fingers.

Drill team tryouts

On Wed. The girls had there tryouts for drill team. So Amy came over to practice right before. They went to tryouts then came home and had to wait until 10:30 p.m. to go see the names on the list of the girls who had made it. Brynn and Amy both made it again.

Nicknames!

Our family is the king of nicknames everyone has at least 2 in our house even the dogs. If you happened to get called by your real name here you must be in some kind of trouble. Hehe But Brynn has a friend named Amy and before we even meet Amy she had a nickname for Brynn so she is my kind of girl! Amy calls Brynn~ Brynnaferd and Brynn calls Amy~ Aimister. They are so funny when they get together they went to the movie on Sat. night and had a blast together. Dane and Landon went with them too. Dane drove and got pulled over after the movie. Brynn said he was so nervous yelling random things at them as it was happening. Then the cop pulled up to the side of Dane's car and said "hey turn your lights on" Whoa! Dane was so happy after that! They went to see Monsters vs. Aliens.

This is Brynn and Amy eating dinner and not wanting to spill on themselves before the movies!

Dane's date

Dane has decided to date other girls so he talked with Cindy and they both thought that would be a good idea. So the next day he just happened to get a text from a girl Jessica at his school. Asking him out on a date! So last night he went to her house for pizza and a movie with another couple. He had a great time. He said he didn't want to get a pic with her yet but he got a pic of the pizza they all made. Yummy!

Garrett was Lucky enough to be at Kyler's house on April Fool's day. They had the funnest dinner made by Ky's mom. Cupcakes that were really meat with colored mashed potatoes on top. Carrots in a sealed Cheetos bag. Jello with a straw in it for the drink. For dessert it was spaghetti and meatballs(eclairs covered with frosting and strawberry sauce with whoopers for meatball.) Ruth is so creative and always doing fun stuff! Thanks for having him over he had a blast!!

A year in Review!

This is what is on Brynn's wall when you walk in her room. It is a years worth of pictures and stuff from drill team. Brynn loves drill and she has really improved as a dancer all year. I hope to take all this stuff and make a scrapbook for her each year. But don't hold your breath or anything I said I hope too. LOL Drill team try-outs for next year start tomorrow! So GOOD LUCK SAS!!

Grateful!

Yesterday we took the kids out of school for Clint Elmers funeral. All except for Dane he was in Manti at a singing competition. It was a day of remembrance and gratefulness. Clint was a great husband, dad and friend. We will all miss him. It made me appreciate all I have at this very moment and to live for today. We went to a late lunch after the services and enjoyed each others company.

Garrett had just kissed my check before Justin snapped the shot. So in this pic Justin said kiss mom again and Garrett is like NO! and laughing (cause its not cool to kiss your mom at his age.)

Brynn and Justin
