Regan's Famous!

Well, at her school, at least.  During the months of February and March our school offered an after school art class and both Regan and Hali participated.  The older group did one last project ....

and they hung it in the lobby.  Yep.  That's Regan, right in the front.  She keeps getting recognized by the other students.  She thinks it's pretty cool.  And I have to admit, so do I!

Goblin Valley For Easter

I'm kind of surprised that we continue to camp.  We must really have a good time or we just like to punish ourselves.  Inevitably, someone gets sick and/or the weather is terrible.  This time Zoey got sick (ear infection with no medicine) and the wind was awful!  But we still managed to have a great time.  We were smart this time and brought some friends!

We have some great friends!!  The guys took the kids, except for two little ones, who stayed back with mommies, to a slot canyon to hike.  They had a great time.

We walked around Goblin Valley, which was awsome.  I highly recomend going there!

We hung out around the campfire, laughing. And even had an easter egg hunt for the kids.  So, even though someone always gets sick and the weather is usually bad, we have will keep going just to have a good time with good people!

Hali's Twin

So during the coarse of this dance year, it became apparent that Hali had a twin.  There is a girl on Hali's dance team that looks just like her.  I have to say there have been a few times in pictures that I've had to look closely to see which one is mine!  But you be the judge!

(P.S.  Hali's the one on the left)

St. George....

Every spring this becomes my life:

Dance Competitions!!  

The highlight of competition season is the trip to St. George.  My parents come up from California and we get to spend some time in the sun.  The best part is the pool party/karaoke party after the competition is over.  And I managed to successfully avoid Kristi, so I avoided the karaoke machine.  Yes! 

Scott found this great place just over the border in Arizona that had all these great petrograph's that we saw before we hit the road home.

There were all sorts of great rocks to crawl around and over and under.

It was a great little getaway!

Primary Activity

At the end of February (I'm so behind!!) we had a primary activity where they called all the kids on a mission.  I was asked to be one of the "mission presidents".  The kids "flew" on an airplane and were dropped off at different locations around the world.  I taught them about the Austrian culture, showed pictures, played music and gave them little mini apple strudls to eat.  I also showed them the traditional clothing.  I just had them on hangers, although at home I had these cute little models! 

Porter loved his so much that I couldn't get them off him.  And for days after, he kept asking if he could wear is leather clothes!
