Dancing Queens

We had a ward talent show and decided to lip sync and dance to ABBA's daning queen.

We had so much fun. It was a little embarrassing but entertaining. I will say that my neck hurt for 2 days after practicing the head spin.

Believe it or not I really did do the splits. It was all or nothing.

ABBA eat your heart out. These are my friends Regina Stoddard, Me, and Stephanie Bott.

Of course Brendan was very impressed with the dancing of his mother and her friends so he tried on the costume. I think he is pretty funny.

Russell turns 15

It seems like only yesterday when we brought this happy boy home.



I guess he started out big and ready to go.



I just thought I would post a few pictures to remember how far Russell has come.


Of course he has always liked the girls...he also has good taste.

This is Russell holding Brock when he was just a baby.

Russell had a cruch on this cute girl in kindergarten


We took Russell and some friends to a UVU basketball game. I think Russell enjoyed telling stories more then watching the game.
The Wolverine even stopped by to see Russell. Brendan did enjoy the game, but as you can see UVU could use more FAN Support.


He got a Texas Longhorns coat.

One of the things he got for his birthday. He mostly got $$$$.

Happy 15th birthday Russell! Where does the time go?

Surprise Birthday

Yes it is official, I turned 40. I can't believe that 40 sneakes up on you as fast as it does. Lance was amazing and planned a surprise party. He made all of the plans and I had no idea. He planned it for Saturday and my birthday was on a Tuesday, so I was SURPRISED.

Brendan thought it was great to have balloons. He also loved the sign that said over the hill and wanted his picture taken. I had him take my picture so why not have his taken as well.

These are some of our friends. This is Mark and Regina. Mark usually has a full head of hair but he shaved it because his Halloween costume.

Russell, Brock, and Peyton playing around. We played games and had a lot of fun.

More friends Chad and Stephanie.

This is Heather. We had pizza, salad, cake and icecream.

The kids really like Chad and Stephanie. I think it is because they don't have any kids of their own yet so they are nice to other people's children. In the picture are Ella, Chad, Steph, Brendan, and Rosy. It was a great day. Before the party some friends and I went and saw Mama Mia. I loved the movie, it was GREAT.

Rock Climbing

Russell and Brock went rock climbing for a youth activity. I think it was a couple of months ago but I just got the pictures

Russell enjoying the climb. I enjoy the fact that I no longer have to go and see what things go on at the activities.

Russell is in the Longhorns shirt and Brock is in the red sitting on the rock.

I can't remember who went the highest, but I know they all had fun.

School Pictures

Well I just thought I would put the boys school pictures on here. Brendan looks a little nervous, but I didn't know what would happen with retakes.

I just want to show proof that Brock does smile.

Of course Russell is always happy to have his picture taken.
