preschool grad

Hayden had her preschool graduation last month. She would hardly crack a smile! They sang some cute songs and each got a diploma. We love Miss Shazi and Miss Sabra!

She wouldn't crack a smile! She came from from school the other day asking to put her "diploma" in a frame like her friend Tiffany. My poor, poor 4th child...

year end concerts

The kids had year end concerts this year. I tried to record them but our camera is not great and there were SO many people there (as you can see by the heads in the way). These are the sorry shots that I got of Parker and McCall.

Austin is 11!

This year Austin was able to go to a A's game for his birthday. Thanks Grandpa Bruce! Grandpa Wes and Grandma Lorraine were also in town for the special day. It is hard to believe that he is 11 already. It seems like just yesterday I was recovering from the gigantic scar that he inflicted upon me when he was born. We love you Austin!

for breakfast he had to have pancakes of course

11 candles

10 girlfriends

ready for summer

temple

We had stake conference at the temple and just happened to snap some pictures. It was kind of cold and windy even though it looks nice.

baseball

Thankfully (for me), baseball season is over. The boys had great coaches, fun teammates and amazing seasons. It was definitely a learning year for them as well as us.

Austin on the Giants.

A dedicated fan...my poor girls were drug to each and every game. Most times it was cold and they were not too excited about it. But for the most part, they were troopers. Hopefully next year I will be able to actually watch the games and not chase Ainsley everywhere.

spring break

I'm trying to get caught up! For spring break Grandma Dauna and Grandpa Bruce surprised the boys with a trip to DisneyWorld! We had their bags packed and told them the morning they left. They were so excited! This is on the way to grandma and grandpa's house.

They had a such a fun time. Thanks grandma and grandpa! We did get them 3 disposable cameras each and hoped that they would take pictures of each other to document their trip. When the cameras came back we had lots of pictures of animals and scenery but very little people. Bummer! We'll just have to take their word for it.

The day they left we took the girls to Great America in Santa Clara. It was a chilly day but we had a great time.

We purchased season passes, so we will be back!
