First Sewing Project: Book Bag

Hallie began a sewing class last month and loves it.

She completed her first sewing project, a book bag.

She was so excited to take it to school today for her

back pack. Job well done Hallie Bug!

World's Longest Post Below:

I think I just created the world's longest post. A whole weeks worth of events. Sorry so long, but I hope you enjoy the pictures, we had a great spring break and wanted to share. Just when you think you have seen all the pics (after an hour on the computer), keep scrolling down...ha,ha.

Thank You, Thank You, Ma and Pa

Thank You Ma and Pa for making our stay in Utah so enjoyable. It is hard having little ones around 24/7. Especially one that needs to eat every hour. You were so great helping us accomplish so much. Giving Ryker such a fun birthday party, all the presents, shopping until we dropped, babysitting Shane (thanks Pa), cooking such great meals, watching the kids so we could go out to eat with old friends, Wingers, Cabela's, the list goes on! We had a blast and lots of memories to share! Thanks again, We love you....Shane, Melissa, Hallie, Ryker and Ledger

Catching up with old Friends

The kids and I met some of our old friends that we love who live in Utah. We got together at the park and had a wonderful time. Shane also took the kids fishing, Ryker caught this snake out back at Pa's backyard with Hunter and teased it until he got bit. The weather was so nice, we had to go and buy sandles and shorts for the week. We didn't want to come home to the wind!

Ryker's Birthday Party!

We celebrated the big day at the dino museum and then went to Ma and Pa's for pizza, cake and ice cream. Ma made this awesome fishing cake. Ma and Pa, the Beatty's, Laurie and boys, Kelly and boys, Matt and Jen all were there to celebrate a fun day.

Blowing out four candles is so FUN

Uncle Kelly brought over his duffle bag of knives. That is all Ryker wanted to do was look through Kelly's knife collection. Thanks Kelly for showing them all to him.

Ryker turns 4 years old! Happy Birthday Bud...

We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point for Ryker's birthday Saturday. We love going here. There is so much to do for kids and it is amazing to see T-Rex in real life. There is sand they can play in and 3-D movies too. Our friends and my brother and girlfriend met us there to celebrate. Thank you those that came for making Ryker's birthday so much fun!

More Pictures from Spring Break

These pictures are at Disney on Ice at the Delta Center. We had so much fun, what a great show. Hallie's favorite was Tinker Bell flying through the air and Ryker's favorite was Captain Hook being eaten by the 20 foot blow up crocodile. We went with the Miller family, they were such great help with my kids. Thank you guys!

The big day started out with a phone call from my dad and Julie in China, he sent me a gift cert. for a massage, that will come in handy. Mail came with birthday card cash from my Memmott family in Utah, then out to lunch with some friends which we always have a blast. Followed by flower delivery from visiting teachers, 20 balloon delivery from mom in Bountiful, and lots of presents from my friends! Shane came home from work with a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses...we went out to a nice restaurant to celebrate with the kids and my brother and his girlfriend. Finally lots of phone messages when we got home wishing me a happy birthday!

I had such a great day! Thank you to my wonderful family and friends for a GREAT DAY!
