EARLY EASTER FUN 4/3/17

We had an early Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt at Mema and Papa's with the family!  Fun day!

ALOHA FESTIVAL 3/11/17

Sydni and Madison were asked to sing and play ukulele at the 2017 Aloha Festival.  They did amazing and sounded beautiful!  Mama and Papa came to watch and we ate yummy Hawaiian food after their performance :)

JANUARY 2017 RANDOM

The YW in our ward help create a cute quilt and chose who they wanted to give it to :)

 Sassy Sydni...

Our cabinets that we painted a few years ago started chipping and peeling.  Ugh!  So we began the fun process of chiseling the paint off of them.  Shoot me now!

 Sweet Brooklyn got her missional call to New York, New York... signing mission!  So happy!

 Eating at Kneaders and watching the presidential inauguration...

 Love hanging out with my girls...

 Played a mean game of Connect 4 with Carson.  As you can see by the smile on his face... he won!

 Bubba sure is looking old these days, but still acts very puppy like most of the time!

 Estrella New Beginnings!  Love these girls!

 Boys went on a scout campout.  These are a few of the random pic Garrett took...

FUN WITH FRIENDS

(Jan. 20) These cute girls all earned a free pizza at their last awards assembly, so they wanted a girls night at Peter Piper Pizza!  We started out at Lowe's so I could pick something up.  They had fun picking out which color they would paint their bedrooms,  Sydni loves hanging out with her friends :)

SYDNI 2ND QUARTER AWARDS

(1/11) Sydni got 3 awards at her 2nd quarter awards assembly!  She got on the Principal's List, Perfect Attendance, and a Character Award!  Way to go Sydni!!

SYDNI SCIENCE PROJECT 2017

(1/4) The first day back to school after Christmas break, Sydni's science project was due!  That made for a busy Christmas break :(  This year she studied fingerprints.  She wanted to find out if fingerprint patterns are inherited from your parents.  She tested 6 families that each had a mom, dad, and 4 children... our family included.  Based on her research and her own data, she concluded that children can inherit their fingerprints from their parents, but there are other factors that can decide your fingerprint pattern.  It was really interesting!  We got to the science fair and found that she got 3rd place!!  Way to go Sydni!  Between all 4 kids we have done 11 elementary school science projects... wow!  No wonder we are running out of ideas!

DECEMBER RANDOM

Bubba loves taking the kids to school in the morning.  I crank up the heater in the car and then he doesn't want to get out!

No shave November was a long month!  I was so glad when Robert finally shaved on November 1st!

 Sydni made a yummy shake at a birthday party!

 Time for Roberts office Christmas party.  Robert has worked many places but I'm pretty sure this is the first one we've been to!  There was a white elephant gift exchange.  We got a heart plate and we gave a poster with 4 of the pharmacists and their gross no shave November mustaches... it was pretty funny when it was finally opened!  Of course it was the LAST gift!!

When I sit at the table to eat... Bubba's head appears...

 Not sure what is going on here? :)

 Or here? haha!

 So Mike and Lorna came and spent a month and half here in AZ and somehow I didn't get really any pictures of them while they were here!  But thanks to Garrett messing with my camera, we have these gems...

... and a few shots of Bubba...

 Took my momma out for lunch for her birthday!

 Also met up with my parents and grandma at Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  We went so we could visit with my grandma as she passed through town but I forgot to take a picture of her!

 I think the kids love Bubba...

 A beautiful sunrise...

 Sydni made some yummy pretzels with her easy bake oven :)

 We love Christmas!

 A funny picture of Robert... and Carson had a blast paint balling as you can see!

 Say cheese Carson!  He loves the camera :)
