Pig Wrestlers

Tis the season. Well we finally went out and had the kids choose their pigs for the year. We should of went out weeks ago. Would of been a lot easier for Brent and Ted to put ear tags in. Anyways we all had a good laugh at these two tough men. Thought I would share a few pictures of what these two poor men went through. Funny what we do for our kids.

They had to lay on the pigs.

The pigs cried so loud!

They tried to jump out of the pin.

Good thing Brent is a wrestler!

This is what Cason and Cael thought of the whole thing.

Cara's 1st Dance Comp

I just wanted to post some pictures from out past weekend with Cara. We took her to her first dance comp with the Dazzlers. They did great for their first time. I think the girls had a lot of fun. I know Brent and I did. They were so cute and fun to spend the weekend with. Thank you to all those who helped with the other four kids so that we could spend this time with Cara. We are proud of you Cara and love you deeply.

Blogging...

You know there are times you dont have things to blog about. Then there are times when you have plenty to blog but just dont have it in you to blog. Well, I just havent been up to blogging this past couple of weeks. Life has had many ups and downs. I just feel guilty blogging. Plus I cant seem to put my thoughts into the right words. But I decided to post a quick update.

I will start with Spring Break. We decided to take the kids to Seattle for a short family vacation.

We went to Science Center first. The kids had a blast. It was a lot of fun. So much to see and play with. Even the oldest ones love it.

Then off to the aquarium. I think this was Austin's favorite part. The kids loved petting the star fish.
The next day we went to the Zoo. This is just one of the pictures of the kids monkeying around.

After the Zoo we came straight home. We had heard it was snowing on the pass and wanted to make it home in time for Easter sunday. The next two photo's are of the kids heading out to our family easter egg hunt.

Finally soccer. The twins really loved soccer this time around. I didnt get to make it to much of their games due to dance. But I heard they did much better than last season. Way to go Cason and Cael.

Cael

Cason loved playing in the goal box!
Lastly, Cara had a soccer tournament this past weekend to end her season. They had a hard go at it this year. But they finally had a win with their last game. Cara even got her goal! So it was a great way to end the season off. Way to go Cara and the fireballs!

Happy 10th Birthday Cara

Cara loved what Courtney did for her birthday so she decided to do the same. We took Brooklyn with us on a photo shoot. These two were so funny together. Next out to lunch at Cara's favorite: Taco Bell. Then we went to 31 flavors (yummy). Hope they are always close.

Cara at the State Park
Cara being herself. LOL

Cara Cox and Brookly Cole

This was my favorite picture of the two. How cute are they!
Cara we love you! Happy Birthday little girl!

Happy Birthday Courtney

Happy 12th Birthday Courtney!

Courtney decided she wanted to scrapbook for her birthday. So we took her good friend Kyla out for some photo fun. Then we went out to lunch with Kyla and her mom Suz while our pictures were printed. To top off this fun day we all went to our first Young Women Conference together. I just love Courtney and am very excited to have her in Young Womens with me.

Heres to another great year!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

LOL I dont know why most of them are leaning.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from our family to yours.

Lack of a better word "proud"

I am so proud of my little guys! They had their first wrestiling tournament this past weekend.

They had so much fun. Cason came home with a silver medal, WooHoo! Pretty good for his first time around. Cael fought hard but fell a little short. But he was a joy to watch. He wrestled with a smile on his face. I guess I just wasnt sure what they were going to think and do.

We will take them to another one in a couple of weeks. Go Twinners!

One thing is for sure though, and I am sure we will run into it a lot, it is hard to see one winning and the other sad that he didn't win.

Cason is on the left and Cael on the right.

Also proud of the Young Women!

What an great group of girls.

This past week we had our New Beginnings. It went so well for it being our first time around toghether. The girls did a skit, with the help of Aunt Lyn and Jaycie. It was so cute! We are missing one girl in the photo but here are the rest of them that were in the skit.

We decided it would be fun to take a picture of the rest of us. We did have a few girls go home before we took it though. So sorry to those we missed.

All in all it was a crazy busy and fun weekend. I am truely lucky to have my kids and am lucky to be able to be a part of great young women. I am lucky to have truely great women to serve with. And a husband that is talented and willing to help me.
