Junior Prom 2010

Frank and Michelle have been friends since they were about 3 years old. Michelle was graduating from high school this year and they have wanted to go to at least one school dance together. Frank serenaded her while he played his guitar to ask her to go to prom. They had a great time.

May Day 2010

Every year our little town of Mendon celebrates May Day. This is such a fun tradition. The girls ages 1st through 5th grade dance the May Pole and the juniors in high school are in the court. This year Jenna danced the May Pole and Frank was in the court. He was Jessica Carlson's escort for the festivities. There is a dance on friday night with the May Pole and program on Saturday. It was sunny that day for about 1 hour while the May Pole was being braided. Jenna is posing on a pole with her good friend McKenzie. Frank and the kids he has been friends with since preschool posed all together. Where has all the time gone? What a great group of kids. Fun to watch them grow up. :)

Alycia Rae's Arm

When Alycia was 4 years old she broke her arm jumping on our trampoline. It affected the growth plate near her elbow. For a long time, she liked the reaction from people when she would straigten arm. As she has gotten older, she hasn't liked the reactions as much. We have waited to do corrective surgery until she was ready. She decided that she was ready this year to see if it could be straightened. We had the surgery done at Primary Children's Hospital on March 3rd. She had to wear a full are cast for 8 weeks. She was a good sport. It really didn't slow her down at all. She even played soccer with her cast. We just wrapped her cast really good with bubble wrap and tape. :)

This is the metal plate at screws that are in Alycia's arm now.

After

Needless to say, Alycia was very excited to get that cast off.

Happy 19th Reggie!

Spring Break 2010

 

We had a great time in St. George for Spring Break. We even went hiking at Zions National Park. We hiked up the Angels Landing Trail. The last part is a little scary so Jenna and Alycia waited for Phil, Frank, Rob and I to hike the last mile up to the top. What an amazing view! Holding onto chains for safety was a little unnerving but we made it. What a life lesson it was too. Just hang on to the rod and we will be safe.

I hope they call me on a mission......

Reggie received his mission call on March 17, 2010 - St. Patrick's Day.

I am feeling lucky!

Drum Roll....,....

Reggie has been called to serve in the Baltic Mission. He will speak Russian.

The Baltic mission includes 3 countries bordering the Baltic Sea: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Each country speaks their own language but Russian is spoken throughout. These countries were part of Russia until 1991. The mission was created in 1992. This call fits him so well. We are so excited for him!

Mozart in the Making

Jenna had her Christmas Recital tonight. She did great. I am so proud of her.
