Such Good Kids

I woke up this morning to these 5 boys playing with Legos quietly.

Noah made a nice, big ship.

All 6 kids were so great while I went visiting teaching.

When I got home, everyone was all ready for church and had eaten lunch.

I took them to church, and they all sat quietly while I practiced with the ward choir.

Several moms commented to the kids and me about how amazingly good they behaved.

One mom even brought my kids brownies tonight for their good behavior.

They even were good all through the rest of church.

It was a gratifying day to have such good, well-behaved kids!

Happy Birthday, James!

James turned 7 years old.

He is growing up.

He was excited about all his presents, but he especially loved his Whoopie cushions.

He like his white cake with chocolate chips inside and his oreo cookie chocolate frosting.

We are so happy to have this sweet, wonderful boy as a part of our family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES!

Comedy Club

Recently Joyanne joined a comedy club where they do a lot of impromptu acting.

She has loved having the opportunity to do some acting.

She is in a skit that she is so cute at performing in.

And in the end, Joyanne gets the guy. ;)

His Little Shadow

Daddy has a little shadow who loves to follow him EVERYWHERE!

Not only does Grant like to follow him around, but he also likes to dress like Daddy if he can.

Cute little critter sometimes drives us quite crazy!

Seven Peaks Lehi Fun Center

For part of our kids birthdays, we got the ultimate city passes to Seven Peaks and their fun centers.

As a family, we had so much fun playing glow-in-the-dark miniature golf and  especially, laser tag.

We played laser tag 3 times and had so much fun.

We all loved eating dinner at "Pizza Pie Cafe".

Our tummies were stuffed and hurting afterwards.

It was such a fun family day!

Farewell, Stephan!

Stephan is leaving to Buenas Aires, Argentina on Wednesday to Serve a mission and share the gospel.

He will be a great missionary.

Joyanne played a piano solo during Sacrament Meeting for Stephan's farewell.

She played her own arrangement of "Called to Serve".

She always does an amazing job with her piano abilities.

We will all miss Stephan tons!

Oh, and, Happy Valentine's Day!

Basketball Gal

This girl played hard as she dribbled the ball down the court.

She got the ball a lot and did amazing.

She made half of her teams points.

Though they lost, Joyanne gave her very best the entire game.

This was my favorite picture I took of Joyanne.
