Spring Piano Recital

Mallory and Heidi had their piano recital and did a great job. I'm so thankful to have kids who love to play the piano and who I don't have to beg to practice. They love to just sit down and play anytime of the day. Caleb also started piano this year and has worked hard and is doing great on all his songs. Brianna has been teaching him, so he didn't have a recital.

3rd Year for the Greenville Mile

Mallory made her school mile race for the 3rd year in a row. She has been working hard to train and get faster. They choose the fastest 3 girls in each class and then they all race at the end of the school year. We are proud of her and the hard work she put forth to make it again.

Happy 8th Birthday Caleb

We celebrated Caleb's birthday a few days early since Jon & I were in Moab for his actual birthday. The girls helped him celebrate on his real birthday, so he
got two special days!

Caleb wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday dinner, I think because he got to sit on the saddle!

Couples Moab Trip

Jon & I took a weekend and went with five other couples to Moab for a few days. This is the second year we have done this and we had a great time. We took our
road & mountain bikes and did a little of both.

Arches National Park


Here is most of the group getting ready for a mountain bike ride on porcupine. This is a ride that I chose not to do since it was a little to difficult for me! I was glad I made that decision when Jon came back and he was pretty beat up. He came away from the ride this day with a few cracked ribs and is still recovering!
He is fifth from the left.

The last day we were there we did an easier ride that I could go and do. Jon was more than willing to go with me this day since he was having a hard time moving because of his ribs!

Planting our Garden

We have had such a wet spring that we got a late start to planting our garden. We did hurry one night before it start storming and all of us helped plant a few of the boxes.




Mallory & Heidi helping plant the peas. Not too many have come up so I don't know what they did with the seeds we gave them!

Jack's 5th Birthday

Jack had a fun day celebrating Jack's 5th birthday. He wanted to go to McDonalds for lunch so we went and he ate and played in the playset. Grandma & Grandpa Robison drove down and spent the night celebrating with us. Jack loved all the gifts and phone calls he received. Jack being our different child wanted leftovers for dinner! We finally talked him out of that and we had sourdough pancakes instead.

Heidi's Freshman Track Year

Heidi decided she wanted to do track this spring. It is always interesting to try a sport you haven't done but she did great. Each day she came home from practice and she had tried something different. She really didn't know what she enjoyed so she tried everything!

Spring Break In St. George

We spent spring break in St. George with 8 other families. We all rented condos in the same little community so the kids could go back and forth from one to the other. They had a great time riding their bikes all over the neighborhood. It was a gated little community and we took up most of the condos so we didn't have to worry about them getting lost. We did a few bike rides, hikes and pretty much sat by the pool. It was a fun week enjoying the nice weather.

Jack loving his free ride!

Here are all fifty of us getting ready to go for a bike ride. It was so nice that they had bike trails everywhere that we just rode from the parking lot right back to our condos.



Here is the baseball field where High School Musical was filmed. The girls were so excited about it! We were staying right down the street from the golf course they used in the movie.

Easter

We spent Easter Sunday in Pocatello with the Seedalls and Grandma and Grandpa Robison. We did an easter egg hunt for the kids and then had a nice dinner. It is nice to have family close so we can get together on holidays.

Over The Hill!

It was a sad but fun day for me today. I turned 40! Thanks to a great family and friends they helped me celebrate my very sad birthday.

Some of my friends with me out to lunch. They all gave me great gifts to help me make it through old age! Thanks for the memories. As you can see I was the only one who didn't get the memo to wear all black!



My favorite cake! Yummy.....

Mallory's Acting Debut!

Mallory's 5th grade class put on 4 different plays about the revolutionary war and she was the lead in one of the plays. She practiced and memorized all her parts. She did a great job!
