Lehi Days

This is our first time going to Lehi Days. There was an animal petting zoo that the kids loved. It was fun to touch and hold these different animals. We also sat and watched some of the roping events and races that were held. We all had a great time.

It was so fun for the kids to get to ride on a little pony! I think it was a first for most if not all of them!
Spring Break

Of course we headed north for spring break and hit the slopes for that last time in the spring season. If you look carefully you will notice that we are ALL on skis, even Blake who usually is on a board. We thought we'd try skis on Blake until he gets better balance, control, and strength to stay up on a board. He did great for his first time on skis and wasn't on his behind nearly as much as he would have been if he were on a board.

Back at the cabin Crew and Rhett are busy bodies...

Crew had an accident on his scooter riding around the sidewalk at the cabin. He hit a crack and biffed it! His finger got the worst of it. The nail was split all the way down to the cuticle and the finger itself is a little bent at the first joint... probably broken...

They are really into the movie CARS. I just love watching the way they sit and focus, especially Crew with his tongue hanging out.

Cinderella Scholarship Pageant

Tucson Preliminary

Ashlyn and Emma have recently participated in the Cinderella program. The girls model a casual outfit and a party dress and do a talent, (which is the best part and reason we did this in the first place). It has been great to work on speaking up and clearly and practicing singing in front of an audience.

This was their second preliminary. We took a little road trip with our friends, Jheri Glover and her girls, down to Tucson. Having friends we knew sure made it all the more fun! Emma had a hard time when we first got there so I to go into her interview with her (I was the only mom in there).I told Emma she didn't have to go on stage and participate if she didn't want to, but by the time the pageant actually got started, she warmed up and went out there.
Here is Kaylee Glover, Emma, and Gracie Glover ready in their casual wear outfits. Aren't they all cuties?!

Here is Emma and Gracie in their collective judging.

Ashlyn is ready to go.

It's great to have a sister!

Waiting to go on stage.

Kaylee and Ashlyn are all dolled up and ready to share their talents! They both did fantastic and sang their hearts out. (Kaylee performed in the teen division and Ashlyn performed in the mini miss division)

Our girls didn't compete in this preliminary, but did a judges score sheet and were able to get notes from the judges on what they did well and what they could improve on.

Here they are again!

By the time it was all over, we were starved and went to Mimi's Cafe for some yummy food!

Here's Jheri and her girls with me and mine!

Happy 8th Birthday Ashlyn!

Ashlyn had a rockin' 8th birthday party! Her and several friends all dressed up like Hannah Montana, learned a song, and made a little music video while they sang. We gave each girl a matching outfit and microphone and of course some dress-up makeup! They rocked out and had a blast! Here's the rockstar birthday girl!
