Posting Something.....

Well Spring break is more than half over ....sigh :(

But before I go to long I thought I would post something...Cheerios have gone and comeback from Nationals and they did great! They hit everything and performed the best they ever did! Abby was so excited she hit all her tumbling passes with her broken finger. They took 13th overall..even though they were bummed at first to not place they felt good about hitting it all....politics shall always be politics:p

Thats Abs in the middle.... Abs in the back..... Abs on the side stunt....

Also the week she got back from Nationals she had cheer try outs for next year..She made VARSITY AGAIN! She was most excited about her high scoring placement in try outs! Go ROO! Working hard pays off!!! Keep it up ROO!

Dallin also had city league tryouts two weeks ago. He was drafted by the Yankees and was put on the MAJORS team. We are pretty sure he is probably the littlest majors player in city league history. SOOOO Super League Double headers start Saturday...Monday Night League and Majors start next week.....Take me out to the ballgame!!!!!!!!!!!

So life just keeps on turning even in a break Miss Orem full swing, BYU dance rehearsals and performances for the next 4 weeks, Track Invitationals every Saturday through the end of May as well as all the games, practices and end of the year hoopla!

EMMA has been extremely excited for her Kindergarten play...CAN not wait! She continues to amaze us with her smarticals!

Well until next time..........Off to prepare refreshments for Miss Orem and take em tumbling:)

It happens in 3's....

We have always thought that bad things happen in threes well...this was one of those weeks:(

1. Tragic Loss of a loved family member:_(

2. Abby broke her finger one week before Nationals :(

3. Mom rear ended a car..... Truck survived the other car not so much :(

So here's hoping that we are on an up swing of good things....St. George here we come. Also Abby raced her first official high school race in a meet with five other high schools and took 5th over all in the 400 meters...Go FRESHMAN ROO!!!

Giggle

After Abby's last competition she got home and made this comment " Mom we looked like the minions from Despicable Me!" So here is a pic from that comp the CheeriO Minions!

Some of this ...Some of that...

Final First Place Pinewood Derby This is our HORRIBLE DOG who is now in Doggie Jail! Bad Jackers!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was That A SMILE?

Some of you are aware of how hard the move has been for me this past year. New home, new schools, new neighbors...a bit of lonely... a bit lost! Smiling less....I am finding myself having to rediscover who I am.....It has been extremely hard! Okay to be completely honest I have been very lost.....But as with most obstacles in my life I push through riding on the coattails of my faith. Well as I sat down this morning to look up the kids grades, check emails and do my daily routine..I ran across this and I grinned from ear to ear! Not only do I adore this song... It reminded me that I used to be fun and smile and guess what I smiled...this video is how I have always imagined my world will be....go ahead and sing I know you want to!!!!!!!!!! Let it all loose and dance the smiles out! So to those of you who may need a pick up like I did...This is to you from me!:) SO DOE!

HaPpY Holidays.....

Our Tigers Race....

Abbys Freshman Season PR 20:56:)

Region Top 10

Joy In Every Moment!

Joy is finding your princess asleep like the princess she is....Joy is watching your daughter make a birthday wish unforgettable to her bestest UNO! Joy is watching your 50lb bubba play tackle football like a monster!

Joy is knowing this little guy over came the fear of presenting in front of people!

Joy is watching all three of our babies take there place on the field on the same night!

JOy is Emma And Abby dancing on the feild.....

Joy is watching Scott take naps with his baby Jack.... Joy is Captain Jack....... Joy is lucky socks......

Joy is watching this girl climb a mountain that kicked her behind last week and take charge and win the entire race! Go First Place Roo!!!!!!!

Joy is my family! I find that even though we may move from one moment to the next At rapid pace, we love each other and support one another and find joy in each others accomplishments and ache in our disappointments. Helping our three children become who they are ment to become take's all of our free moments in life and I would not spend them anywhere else! When I am missing one of these moments my heart aches, for these days are so precious and will soon be only but a memory ...! I love you my babies.

Fallow Field Farm Marketplace

Abby is going to be selling her headbands, bows, and flowers to help raise money for her cheer nationals trip. Fallow Farm is a really awesome place, we went to it last year. Absolutely breath taking atmosphere! Hope to see you!

The house is so quite:(

She started school this afternoon,

And she seemed so very small.

As I walked there beside her

In the Kindergarten hall.

And as she took her place beside

the others in the class,

I realized how all too soon

Those first few years can pass.

Remembering, I saw her as

She first learned how to walk.

The words that we alone made out

When she began to talk.

This little girl so much absorbed

In learning how to write.

It seems as though she must have grown

To girlhood overnight.

My eyes were blurred but hastily

I brushed the tears away

Lest by some word or sign of mine

I mar her first big day.

Oh how I longed to stay with her

And keep her by the hand

To lead her through the places

That she couldn’t understand.

And something closely kin to fear

Was mingled with my pride.

I knew she would no longer be

A baby by my side.

But she must have her chance to live,

To work her problems out,

The privilege to grow and learn

What life is all about.

And I must share my little girl

With friends and work and play;

She’s not a baby anymore

–She’s in Kindergarten today.

Ready Set GO!

SO three days of school over....THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE CRAZY!!!!!!!

So I took Emma to her Kindergarten assessment...She did great and loves her teacher. Apparently did extremely well in math....huh...didn't do that in joy school...BUT yeah she passed everything plus knows math WOOT WOOT!

Our evening was taxing from one place to another...cross country practice, Dallin pick up from school to feed him his first dinner to get him to football, pick up Abby from cross country to do hair, change to cheer uniform to get her to bus for game, pick Dallin up feed second dinner drive to delayed football game to sit in pouring rain for four hours...YAY! In the picture I "WONDER" who she is lookin at=) so we drive home for third dinner to bed sooo we could all get up at 6:45 for....Abby to race in her cross country race...in the rain....(She has the headband in) She finished 27th overall and fourth for her race.....She changed in the car into her cheer outfit did makeup and hair and arrived.... At Gateway Mall just in time to warm up and compete in the

FM 100 high school pep rally competition!(Shes behind the girl in sweat pants)

They were fab! They took first and won $1000.00! Go TIGERS!

Emma had a blast playing in the fountains and eating cotton candy they were giving away at the pep rally..I had some too!!!!=o)

Dallin and Dad stayed home to watch Abbys friends play in their freshman game....They can't get enough football! Dallin plays his first game this week...My baby is so bruised but apparently loves the sound of crushing pads and helmets...oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!
