Ryker's Spring Sing...

Ryker having fun with his preschool classmates



Ryker had a spring sing concert for all the parents, he did a great job singing fifteen songs! Thank you to the family support who always comes with their camera!

One of those days...

Shane got a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, in quite a bit of pain today.
Hallie came home sick with stomach flu yesterday...still throwing up.
Ledgie hanging on my leg most of today, fussy and whining.
Ryker making so much noise playing, Shane or Hallie can't sleep!

Things on the list to do today:
grocery store, bank, young women's lesson for Sunday, grandma's house to put together a pedigree chart for lesson on Sunday, a luncheon with friends, picking up some mountain dew, laundry, dinner set out for tonight, lawn mowed!

Things that got done today:
None of the above!!!

Hallie's first piano recital...

Video of Recital (2 songs) Push Arrow to play!

She was very nervous (hence the kicking feet) but did a great job with only six months of piano lessons! We're proud of you Hallie Bug!

Easter fun in Utah!

These pictures are very small for some reason, probably because they were taken and downloaded from Shane's cell phone! Being the great mom I am I forgot the camera for easter pictures. I should of not worried about the easter bunny gifts and just grabbed the camera. Oh well this is what I have.

We had a great weekend, Shane installed 9 windows in his parents home on Friday, Sat. was shopping day, and conference on the radio, Sun. was the spectacular easter eggstraviganza! I laugh every time we go there for Easter, Shane's dad puts so much effort and work into this easter hunt. This year he did a treasure hunt for all 13 grandkids and when they found the note that said winner they collected $15.00 from Ma. Money was also collected when they found their color of 12 eggs hidden especially for that person. It was great, a little cold but a lot of fun being together. Games continued until Ledgie got tired and he could have his nap on the long drive home. I love easter...the wonderful conference weekend, the meaning of easter, spring time weather is almost here, and being together as a family...and of course deviled eggs (thank you Laurie, also my favorite that they had just for me bbq hotdogs! Thank you Memmott, Henrie and Garn Clan for a wonderful weekend. Holding your egg on the spoon without dropping to get to the finish line.
Hallie giving Ledgie a swing.

13 Memmott grandkids and a couple extra friends.

Easter Egg Coloring...

For family night we did the easter tradition...colored eggs. It was a lot of fun, until we put Ledgie up there, he banged a few together, but overall, fun being together!

Drum Roll Please...

Our Ryker turned five today, can you beleive it five years old! We had a bbq on what I thought would be a really warm day, turned out a blustery one...we ate inside with our coats on! The festivities started with sidewalk chalk, a great hamburger by the Master BBQ Chef (Shaner), followed by awesome presents from our guests then a birthday cake and song!

Ryker is at such a fun age, he loves and enjoys most everything. What he loves most is being with his dad outside. He is usually found hunting birds outback with a bb gun until dad gets home from work. He has a love for animals and bugs...he once told me everything he knows he learned from Planet Earth (the tv series I highly recommend to watch with kids, we truly live on an amazing planet). He is all boy and the love of our home, he loves his sister and brother and has a tender heart. I am so greatful you were sent to our family, we love you with all our hearts...dad, mom, sissy and ledgie! the new race track

Papa and Julie bought him this fanny pack and filled it with money and fishing stuff, he was thrilled!

Gotta Love birthdays!!!

Happy Birthday to ME! (3/10)

What a great day...Shane picked up breakfast from our favorite, Molly's Bakery at seven in the morning. Went to lunch with all my Miller family at Tomatoes. That evening was New Beginnings for the Young Women, so I was at the church most of the evening, but came home to a wonderful husband and two kids hiding behind the counter with a banana cream pie all lit up with candles (which I assume wasn't easy to go and get since I had all the carseats in my car). What a great way to end the day...lots of friends stopping by with gifts, tons of phone calls from family and friends (even if they did have to talk to the answering machine, they made me smile) birthday cards in the mail, it was a special day. Thank you to a great husband, family and friends for making 34 FUN!!!

thoughts outloud!

ordered the bedspread! Yahoo, can't wait for it to come. Beautiful day outside, talked to my brother Trevor in Pheonix who is doing awesome from giving up quite a heavy addiction, it's been a month today of nothing! I am reminded when one door closes another door opens.
Am loving Sugardoodle for my lessons, how easy it is, all done for you.
Sorry for the boring post, I am just not a facebooker to say this there, so sharing on the blog!

Bedspread Dillema?

Loving this bedspread. I am debating this one for my birthday present. What do you think?

Where does the time GO???

Holy smokes, it has been forever since I posted.
Long month, that we are ready to have go by. I had the flu for four days, couple weeks past and then Hallie got it for four days, Ryker and Ledgie are trying to survive a bad cold.
Ward boundries were changed and new callings were given. Shane is the 1st Counciler in the Sunday School Presidency, which we are still trying to figure out what his role is in this position. (he is hoping for a bell ringer job) I was called into Young Womens (beehive advisor) and I haven't stopped jumping up and down since I got the call. I am so excited, only four beehives in these new ward boundries but I'm not complaining! First Lesson...this Sunday.
Ledgie is finally weaned from nursing after ? months. Yikes, I can't beleive it went on that long, but in a way it just flew by. It was hard to give up and I think it was more me than him in the end. He is still his happy go lucky personality and I keep hoping he will grab at my shirt to let me know it is has been missed, but no grabbing. I wanted to have a date set of when to be done, I threw out a reward, so I would keep on track to a weaning date. Tommarow I am going on a girls overnighter to Boise, something we have talked about for months, but could never go because of nursing. I can't wait, the weaning has been worth it!!!
(Thank you Shaner for letting me go have fun).
So yes, the Memmott's are all alive and well (for now). Looking forward to SPRING! My March goal is to be better at blogging no matter how busy life gets...
