5 Little Monkeys, I Mean Boys, Bowling on the Lane

OK, so I don't necessarily recommend it, but we had a lot of fun with JD's friends at the bowling alley. It was crazy and I would not recommend it to the faint of heart. I had a major headache after taking 5 little boys to the bowling alley for a birthday party for JD. They got so excited and they yelled and whooped, jumped, and screamed for joy. Overall, it was a success for the boys even if I came home with a headache.

Prom Season

Well, it is that time of year again where school is coming to a close, students have senioritis, and prom. Yes, PROM. Whitney and Dani were invited to prom by two very nice young men. Yes, Dad even approved. The theme of the prom was Cinderella and since Cinderella wears a blue dress to the ball, Dani wore Whitney's blue dress and had her hair and make-up done so she looked like Cinderella. I think it worked. Sarah did her hair and Jordan did her make-up. The girls even printed a picture from the computer so Dani would more closely resemble Cinderella. Don't just take my word for it, see for yourself.

One great thing about having a twin that wears your size is the trading of your clothes. Whitney and Dani wear the same size. It saves me money and a lot of headaches. Whitney wore Dani's dress to the prom and I think she looked absolutely beautiful. Once again, I think Sarah and Jordan did a superb job with the hair and make-up. Just take a look and you will see what I mean. It was hard trying to get Whitney ready because she had a track meet the same day as the prom. We knew she would be pressed for time, but it was worth it. Whitney won the 3200 meter race and had a blast. It made her day!

JD's Birthday

On April 15, JD turned 10 years old. We didn't do a lot, but Jordan did make Rice Krispie Treats with him and Dani made a cake. He is having a party on Saturday with some of his friends. Oh, we ran out of candles, so Dani put 1 + 9 instead of 10 candles.

Spring Break at Zion National Park

After Angel's Landing, the twins were tired, Gene cooked dinner, JD chased lizards, and Belle slept.

During Spring Break we went to Zion National Park for a hiking and camping trip. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed our time together.

Jordan Dances at the Rec Center

Gene and I were able to go to the Rec Center and watch Jordan dance with Starrsteppers. She looked great and it was a lot of fun watching her dance.

Happy Birthday Gene

Last weekend we celebrated Gene's 51st birthday with all of our kids and their families. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the day.

Track Meet Season Once Again

It is track season once again and so it's off to the track meets to watch the twins run. We have not had very good weather so far this year, but today was a great day. The twins ran well considering it is only the second race of the season. I love to watch the girls run, but I hate to eat the pasta! YUCK!

Pine Wood Derby

JD had the Pine Wood Derby Tuesday. He had a lot of fun and enjoyed watching the cars race. He had a good time even though he did not win. Every boy came home with a certificate and a medal. Sheena came to support JD and Gene helped with the starting of each race. I waited and watched. I can't say that is my idea of fun, but JD enjoyed it!
