On to State

Another awful picture! I really need to do a better job at picture taking. Anyway, Hailey is still moving on in Reflections. She made it through her school level, council level, and now the district level. Our district sent two entries onto state in her division (6th through 8th grade). I guess the state sends 4 entries onto the national level. It will be interesting to see what happens with this. Every time I think about it, I laugh. This poem took her maybe 10 minutes to write and I had to make her write a poem instead of just taking a picture. This gal is crazy talented! Way to go Hailey!

Swim Meets

Hailey has found her love! She has been swimming A LOT lately. She is getting quite good at it and loves, loves, loves the breast stroke. She has competed in several meets and always does very well! Way to work hard Hailey! (She is in the pink and yellow cap)

Coleton turns 9!

I have no idea exactly what Coleton's cake is. He wanted a three layer cake with blue frosting, chocolate licorice and skittles. This kid takes his treats very seriously and he loves frosting and candy! This is the design he came up with. He was very happy with it and that is all that matters. :) I cannot believe this guy is 9. He weighs a whole 47lbs and his wrists and ankles look like they could snap in half at any moment. One day he will grow!!! Happy Birthday crazy Coleton!

Breakfast with Santa!

Some of us like Santa more than others!

Dax is 1!!!

This sweet baby has brought so much happiness to our family over the last year. He is as sweet as they come and he has all of us wrapped around his little finger.

Parenting at its BEST!!

All 1 year olds should be able to play MarioCart right when they wake up from their naps!!!

Reflections...School Level

I know that these are awful pictures but they just make me laugh! Poor little Easton. All three of these fine children entered the Reflections program at their school. They enter because it is a requirement for the Soaring Eagle Award. (A special little program their school does to honor the kids that go above and beyond what is expected.) Hailey and Coleton both wrote poems and Easton painted a picture of him climbing a mountain. (It is a lovely picture!) The theme this year was Believe, Dream, Inspire...or something to that effect. Both Hailey and Coleton moved on to the Council level but Easton didn't and he was heart broken. They both got trophies and he did not. I felt so bad for him! It is tough to be a little brother!!!
