Mr. C Graduates Kindergarten


It's official! Christian has learned something! Christian and his class put on a fantastic graduation program with tons of songs to show off a lot of what they had learned!



We love Miss Merrill! She has graduated Ty, Brig and now Chris! She already knows Jess's name too!
 

Runnin' Mustang

Katelyn gave TRACK a try this year in 8th grade. We were proud of her for trying something new. Her coach/teacher had been begging her all year to give it a try too. Gpa pulled out his showcase of medals and shared all his success stories with her and gave her some helpful hints. She had some pretty bad shin splints in the beginning.



She ran the 400 Med, 400 and 800.

Spring Break: Easters with The Storys

We stopped over night again in St. George on our way home. Kellie and crew were there this time and we celebrated Easters with them.

Headed to Snow canyon lava caves at about 10p.
 Doesn't matter if it is dark you need flashlights anyway! Mike had us all set up and supplied with flashights.


We went to this cool room where some kids had splattered glo-in-the-dark sticks everywhere. The room Glowed! It was awesome.


Watch your heed!  It’s a virtual planetoid and it has it’s own weather system! it's an orange on a toothpick!

They made it out! While all the old folks are still down inside.

Cute bum where you frum?

Grandpa sharing his Track victories and stories with the girls
as Katelyn embarks on her Track season.

Claire taught us all sorts of features on our phones
and introduced us to a whole new world of emoticons!

After good adventures and lots of swimming it is always good to have a good nap.


COUSINS!!

We think these two must be cousins!

Spring Break: Balboa Park and USS Midway

 Balboa park was so cool. Beautiful Gardens and architecture






It was great weather the whole trip. Perfect temps, but if there is water they will play!


Getting a little lunch downtown. These goofballs racing to see who can get the most shake.

 
USS Midway was probably my favorite thing. I think the whole family really enjoyed seeing it.
 


Bunking up


I think this kid has a military stint in his future. He was in heaven.


 
Drove by the temple on our way out of town. Just beautiful!

Spring Break: Sea World

It had been over 8 years since we have been to our beloved Sea World. We had season passes when we lived in Orlando and just LOVED it! We were excited to take the kids back! Last time we were a little younger and had less kids.

Dolphin Show was lame compared to what it used to be. Now they can't have people in the water with the animals, which I understand.

 

Kids loved the roller coasters



This amazing art was made out of trash collected from the ocean. Pretty creative!
 

Up in the needle to see all over San Diego

 
Brigham was most excited to see the sharks.


Jess was happy to take a pictures by herself. She didn't like it when I asked the rest of the family to join her. 


Too short to ride


 
Giving Jess and Christian  a chance to ride some rides while the big kids do the roller coasters again.




SHAMUUU!

with a GoPro



Love this pic! The Sea Lion show has always been our favorite and it did not disappoint!


A little chilly but she still had to frolic in the water.

Lots of fun and animals! Good times!
