Back to the 80's.... I mean School

Ok... so I just thought it was so funny that my girls all looked as though it was an 80's flashback day... but it was the first day of school. Even Jackson was sporting the bright colored polo shirt (No Lacoste Alligator... but), we popped his collar... just to give it even more 80s' edge. They are cute and are so excited to be back in School. (ME TOO!)

Where did the year go?

Crazy! It is the end of another school year.

Hannah is finished with the 7th grade, Whitney is done with the 4th grade, and Mia has completed the 2nd grade. YAY!! It has been a busy year and the summer looks to be just as busy. Jackson is thrilled to have someone at home with him besides mom!

Here is a look back at some fun from the last time I posted!

Longest Winter EVER

I will be so happy for this winter to be over. It has lasted way to long and been way to cold and wet. We all have been sick to often and had entirely too many snow days. Rich and the girls are going skiing/ snowboarding this weekend for the first time this winter and they are pumped! So I guess some good can come of it. I however cannot wait to be able to run outside again without the literal spinning wheels on ice or without coming home with mud flipped all over the back of me. Here are a few photos of some of the things we did while cooped up inside.

In the above photo ... the girls are ice skating on the pond on the front yard. They also enjoy sledding by way of the four wheeler.

Hannah and Whitney are bakers extraordinaire! They bake cakes and cookies of all types. The YM in the ward are always happy when Hannah brings refreshments!

Hannah played on her first basketball team. Her team went undefeated (so did her soccer team earlier in the year). It will be tough when she finally has to feel what it is like to loose.

Ah... this is classic. Richard on his iphone.. and Jackson on his "phone"... the ipod touch. They could sit like that for hours. I thought it was cute!

Lots of Love!
