The fourth of July

Officially a Madrigal

Here are some really bad pictures of Allison officially becoming a Madrigal.

 All the "old" madrigals are on stage singing (they are all crying because this their last concert as West Jordan Madrigals)...the new Madrigals are so happy:)

 They walk in with their partners and give a rose to the other girl, hug and the old madrigals leave the stage and the new ones "take their place"

 I was trying to get good pictures without using a flash and I am not very skilled at that.

 Here she is standing and singing with her partner

 This is the concert choir

Easter 2014

 So my kids can't just take a normal, happy, smiley picture they are too silly and possibly all have to much ADD to hold still.

 Here is what Jason did when he was done hunting eggs....they had not found them all, he was just done. So  he climbed on the roof of the shed and went to sleep.

 I tried to not color eggs this year but everyone got really mad at me so we colored eggs.  It was fun and very mellow and I was thinking how nice it was to color eggs with "big" kids.  We were almost done and I started cleaning up and I accidentally knocked the glass with the yellow egg dye in it over.  It got on the table, floor, our feet, the crayons and all over my clothes.  We laughed pretty hard because that was the first time that has ever happened and I did it.

 Every year Jarin makes an egg just like this one so this year we did it for him.

 The Easter Bunny brought Jason and Ashley cross bows.  They had a lot of fun shooting each other.

Jason's birthday

Nuts for a nut

 Some game that I can't ever remember but that has a really long name that you play on the computer.

Jason's birthday dinner

 James bought some crab legs and cooked them outside on the BBQ

 Jason was in heaven .

 Stanley really wanted some crab also.

 Ashley had a little dance competition in Lehi.  We went out to eat at Thanksgiving point before the awards ceremony.  Her dance made it into the top 15 of about 200 who got to dance again for the special gala.  The two dances from our studio who went  to that got this trophy.  The pictures are from my phone and so not good.
