Chad is on a roll!

Before

After


Chad has had a fire lit under him recently. He added storage above our garage door. Nice!

Professional dancers take the floor at Jazz Game

Izzy is inn a competition dance team. They were invited to dance at the Jazz game a couple of weeks ago. She was SO excited and nervous. After she performed she said "Mom, I was so nervous. I almost passed out!" and "Did you see the camera man right in front of my face?" "I was like dude, get out of my face!" I'll post the video when we get it.

Hannah's science project....GROSS!!

Hannah was excited for her science project and I secretly was as well. She decided to study mummification. We mummified hot dog and sausage flesh to see what conditions mummified the best. Results are flesh in a brine(salt) solution in an air tight location with heat.

A nice day for sledding.

Although the sun came out and the snow began to melt into big puddles of slush....it was still a fun day! We invited cute cousin Kara to join us. Notice that Ava has no fear. I'm not sure that's a good thing?

Izzy's scar revision

Izzy had a mishap this past summer in which she received a slightly botched glue job on her cheek. This led to a gash instead of nice tight line of healed skin. So...we took her to a plastic surgeon and had it revised. She was brave! I'll add pictures of the healing progress in the next few months.

Eighteen...

Believe it or not....my mom and I are around the same age in these pictures. She was getting married right into freshman year at BYU. This was my senior picture from High school. There's a little resemblance!

Big snowflakes...it's April!

Yesterday we had ANOTHER snowstorm. It's nearly mid-April for heaven's sake. We're due for some more this week.

Ava is a hair model

Ava let me curl and style her hair recently. Chad said it looks like a wig!

Paul...my baby!

I was 8 when Paul was born. I wanted to have a sister desperatly, but didn't have that honor. Instead, I have three georgous brothers. I forgave Paul instantly for not being a girl and adopted him as my own. He was a cranky baby and my mom struggled with him. I didn't appreciate that until now...with 4 of my own. My mom would feed Paul and then put him into bed with me so that I could get him to sleep. He would run to me when he stubbed his toe or when he was disiplined by my parents. He's not a baby anymore....but I still love him the same. Love you, babe.
