Prom 2011!

On our way to pick up Shay! Bowe looks so dang handsome!

Shay pinning on his boutonniere...having a hard time!
The cute couple - of course the parents have to get a bunch of pictures before they leave!

Some of the other couples...while we waited for the other 2 couples, the parents took some more pictures! :) I love this one, how all of the girls are looking at the guys being weird!

Once all of the couples got there...here are the girls! So pretty!

And here are the guys! So handsome!

My weekend!

For Christmas this year, my sister and I decided to get my mom a trip away from it all! So we went this past weekend to hang out and shop in Park City! We spent the majority of one whole day shopping! The weather was beautiful! This picture is from the balcony of our condo! it was gorgeous up there!

My sissy and I (ummm...what the crap is with my hair? I swear it did not look that poofed when I left the bathroom!) :)

When we got home, my daughter was dancing at ben Lomond's basketball tournament half time! She did such a good job!

Her kick is so good and so quick that it looks like she only has one leg in this picture!

And then yesterday, I took the girls to see the Justin Bieber movie and they had to get their picture taken with the Biebs! haha! What a fun weekend!

Bowe took 1st!

Bowe wrestled last week at the sophomore tournament and took 1st place in his weight division! He did so good and I was so proud of him - especially since just the day before he had surgery on his "cauliflower ear"! Poor kid! But he is a trooper and he did GREAT!

(I cannot believe how big he is getting! He is turing into a handsome young man!)His first match was a bye. His second match was with this guy below. Bowe beat him 18 to 8!
His 3rd match was this guy below. Bowe barely beat him by 1 point with 1 second left in the match! This was a tough match!!!

And this was the final match to find out who was #1 and who was #2!

Congratulations Bowe! You are definitely #1!!!

Kylee made the team!

Kylee tried out for the Orion Jr high Basketball team last week...and MADE IT! I am so proud of her! She is only in 7th grade so it is pretty hard for a 7th grader to make the teams! This will be an amazing experience for her and hopefully she will learn a lot!

These pics are not from the Jr High team, but from her comp team she is a part of right now!

Valentine's Day!

Since today is Valentine's Day, I figured I would post the few decorations I put up and the cookies me and the girls made a few weeks ago! :) Here are our lovely cookies in the process...And my lovely girls decorating them!My attempt at making some decorations for this holiday was the little tissue paper bouquets!Here they are a little closer! I think they turned out pretty good!

Simple as that! It has been a busy month between Bowe's wrestling, Kylee's basketball and Kaitlyn's dance! At least we did a little something for the Holiday! :)

Christmas 2010

We had so much fun this year with Christmas (my hubby and I)! We have been fortunate enough to have had enough money to pay cash for all of our Christmas without stress and still pay all our bills! We usually do make it but we also usually have stress, cut corners, and some credit card usage...but not this year! Yeah!!! Thanks hubby for working so hard!!! You are amazing!! It was also our year to have the kids Christmas Eve/Christmas morning (we trade off every other year with the exes) so we got to have our kids Christmas morning!! I love waking up and seeing their excitement to see what Santa brought them and opening all their presents while in their new PJ's with sleepy eyes! Love, love, love it!!!

I always have to take a picture of their Santa piles before they delve into them! Although I have learned in reviewing these pictures that I need to start pulling out my camera more! I did not get very many pictures - I will have to work on that one for next year!

Here is Bowe's pile from Santa... And Kylee's...And Kaitlyn's....And of course Dixie gets a stocking full of prizes too! :)Kylee got a bunch of hair stuff: straightener, blow dryer, 3-barrel curling iron, shampoo, conditioner, etc along with a new coat and a camera! It is so cute and completely matches her jammies she has on in this picture! :) Kaitlyn got a Nintendo DSi, a couple games, accessories, and a new coat!Bowe got a new snow-boarding coat, gloves, a new cell phone and a video game!Dixie of course got some new toys and some bones!Dixie trying to tear into her bones....And she succeeded! :)After opening all of the gifts from Santa and from Jason and me, we all got ready and headed over to my grandma's house!Emilyn in her cute little Christmas dress!My mom realy surprised Jason and got him a GPS - he said it was his favorite present by far!Emy got some new clothes and tried putting them on! Alexis got a singing teapot with cups that she was "drinking" out of! So cute!Kaitlyn got a microscope set with her dad and the second she got home, she wanted to pull it out and look at stuff! Dr. pepper, salt, pepper and sugar were among the experiments!And then Christmas was over (sad) and we ring the new year in!

Here are Kylee and Kaitlyn toasting in the new year with their favorite fake champagne!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
