Here we are

It's funny to pull up our blog and see how long it has been since I have posted.  So much has gone on, and we have all changed so much, in such a short amount of time.
Dave and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary.  It was such a fun day.  We went to Provo Beach Resort and rode the flow rider, got some lunch and window shopped and then went up to SL to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak house.  It was by far the best steak I have ever had.  What a perfect day with my sweet and wonderful husband.

Dave:  Is busy as ever, loving what he is doing.  He is Mr. handy and has saved our little Caddie a few times from passing away, and done lots of projects around the house. He is excited for Spring so he can get started in the garden.  He has it tilled and a new batch of compost ready to turn into it.  He really enjoyed ice fishing this winter with a friend and thankfully came home each time safe and sound.  He of course is gearing up to get ready for his annual mystery (that's the name of a lake in the High Uinta's) trip with his brothers.  It's fun to hear them planning it at Christmas time.  

Inside the little tent. They were always very toasty

Lovin' the fishing

The big catch!  A 22" Rainbow

Jackie: Just being a Mom and loving it!  I love what I do, I love life and where we are at.  I go to Zumba twice a week and have started walking again in the mornings.  I love when the weather starts to get warm!
I have had fun hangin' with the girl's and all the kids at the park, and going to bunco, and doing crafts.  I love my calling in the RS and love all the fun sisters in the ward. The kids school always keeps me busy being in the PTO, but they only have 3weeks left of school, and then it is summer fun!  I am ready for swimming, trips to Grandma's and GIRL'S CAMP!!  I got called to be the Assistant Craft Leader, and I am so excited. 

At the Provo Temple

Colton:  Has grown so much this winter.  He is nearly 6 feet tall!  He turned 13 the day after Christmas, and he loved being on the basketball team. Then he made the soccer team and has LOVED it!  He is fast and does so good, I think we have found his nitch.  He still however wants to try football, dang I thought I had diverted that one.  He also was in a musical program at school and put together a song with his friends and played the drums.  Colt is very talented and loves to try new things. But, after a busy year, I think he is excited for summer.  He has scout camp, a leadership camp and 2 jobs mowing lawns.
 

At the line

I am such a bad Mom.  I did not take one picture during the many soccer games this season.  I did video, but no pics. They are going to the championship, and so I will take pictures and post later.

Morgan:  What can I say, Moe is growing into a beautiful young women.  A little too fast for me, but I can't seem to stop time.  She has loved taking Art lessons, and she loves to sing.  She is also in a craft group at school and has done some really cute things.   She turned 11 in March and we had a fun birthday party with all her friends.

All the yummy food

Girly cupcakes

All the girls

Lots of fun presents

She is so funny, always doing funny things. In her "apartment" (her room is downstairs) she has a school set-up, and so many times I can hear her teaching her kids, and most the time Chase.  She is a sweetheart.

Chase:  He is coming up on his 1yr anniversary to his heart surgery, and is doing so well, and has a renewed sense of energy!  The kid never stops!  He has had so much fun in Pre-school this year, learning a lot and having fun with all his new friends. We have enjoyed the nice weather at the Park with his friends and had fun playing soccer.  He just turned 5 today!  We took him to Chuck E Cheese, and he was way excited!  He will have a little friend party on Saturday and I will add some more pictures then.

Thanks for indulging me with all the catch up.  I will add some more soccer pictures of Colt and the big Cha's birthday party later this weekend.
Also look forward to these up coming events:
