Mary turns 11!

I can't believe that Mary is 11! Life is flying! Mary was able to have several celebrations: a friend party, her actual birthday, and a family party... Lucky girl, but then again we are lucky to have her!

Mary wanted socks for her birthday, and her friends came through...she got socks, and even a sock monkey!

Pizza, and ....

a BYU women's soccer game. She took her whole team, plus sisters and cousins!

On her actual birthday she woke up to presents, went to school, and then got a pedicure with Mom. She ended her day at Texas Roadhouse for dinner with Mom and Dad.

She got great presents at her family party, and enjoyed both eclairs and chocolate mouse parfait!

Oh, and we celebrated Flur and Mom's Birthday too!

Dragons fall Soccer 2012

Mary had a great soccer season with the Dragons! They took 2nd place out of 14 teams! She LOVES Soccer, and is so lucky to be on such a great team with a great coach!

Go Dragons!

Halloween!

It took Mary forever to decide what to be, but she finally choose a BYU football player!

Brynn was a darling "can can" dancer!

Lucy was a "scary" witch!

And Kelsey...along with Irene...was a perfect Strawberry Shortcake! She loved telling everyone that she didn't even need a wig.

Lucy went trick or treating with her zombie friend Emma, and Brynn with her friend Abby.
For the first time, Mary went trick or treating with her friends, without any adult supervision!

Fun Stuff in October

We had a fun filled October, with one of the main events being a trip to St. George to see the Little Mermaid. We went with Aunt Katie and Peyton, and Lindsey and Lexie Downey. It was a really fun (even though it was quick) GIRLS trip! Shopping, dinner, the play, and then a sleep over at Aunt Jessica's. It was a fun weekend, and the Little Mermaid was AWESOME!




The Girls also did Reflections this year. The Theme was "Diversity Is..." They both did a photography collage, and did great. Mary even won a Honorable Mention certificate.

And of course, a favorite around here...CRAZY HAIR DAY!!!

Kelsey's First Day of Pre-School

Kelsey is going to Mrs. Amber's Pre-School this year, and she LOVES it!

The First Day of School - August 22, 2011

Lucy - 1st Grade

Brynn - 3rd Grade

Mary - 5th Grade

Heading off to start another great school year!

In August we took a fun trip to California to visit Grandma Linda and Papa Jon. We were there for a week, and did lot's of fun stuff. We went to Santa Cruz, and Tilden Park, but hands down we spent most of our time in the pool. In fact the day before we left, Mary and Brynn spent 9 hours in it! Corey, Jess, Colin and Mason came halfway through our week, and it is always fun to spend time with them. Robert also came home from Israel the day before we left. I wasn't very good at taking pictures, but here are a few.

Santa Cruz!The Ocean was COLD, but the girls still had fun!

Rides at the Boardwalk. Mary loved the Giant Dipper roller coaster.
It is the sixth oldest in the US.

This is how hard we played...Kelsey fell asleep on the exercise ball
while playing legos.
