Autumn's spring dance recital

Last night was Autumn's dance recital at Payson High. It was so fun to see her on the stage with all these people in the auditorium! My batteries died in the middle of her video (not that I know how to post them), but she did great during both dances. They performed to Stupid Cupid, and Life is a fairytale. I was so proud of her!

Pictures outside before we left


Twirling on the front porch (perhaps I should have saved my batteries for the real performance). I always forget to bring spares. One day I will learn!





Here she is on stage 2nd from the end on the right side. This is them during Stupid cupid! Seriously, cutest thing ever to see all the 3-4 year old up on stage dancing! Can't wait to see many more performances by her!

Logan's 3rd grade Hershey track meet

Yesterday Logan was in the 3rd grade Hershey track meet! It was fun to watch her. I wish I could have stayed for the whole time, but after 2 1/2 hours we waited already to see her do the 100 meter, Sierra was ready for her nap.

Waiting for her events to start


We decided to try watching from the field to let Sierra down from her stroller. She was not as bored, but it didn't last too much longer.

Here she comes!

And there she goes!

Now I am wishing I would have video taped it, but maybe next time!
She also participated in the long jump, but I couldn't see her. There were so many kids and parents around. I think there were about 6-7 schools there competing.
She came in a close 2nd place for the 100 meter race, and later she came in 2nd for the 200 meter race. I had left by then, but I was SO PROUD of her!
She went to the finals for both of those, but she said she was really tired by then. She says she can't remember what place exactly she came in for those but maybe 4th or 5th.
She did awesome, and I've never had that kind of excitement watching her do something! Hope this is the first of many exciting sporting activities for us to watch! SO FUN! Way to go Logan!

Mother's Day

I thought they were so beautiful, I just had to take a picture and blog about it!


Mother's Day was wonderful. I was way too spoiled, but it was nice! Logan made me some bath salts and a spoon rest and some really cute cards! The girls sent me flowers, so James says. I also got some perfume, or "prefume", as Autumn calls it, and a movie and some beautiful earrings from my wonderful hubby! I have the best family! Thank you for making my day so special!

Worlds slowest painters finally finish!

We are finally done painting! It's taken about two months, but I'm just glad it's over and done. These pictures are sort of blurry or dark in some of them, sorry. I'm not the best photographer. One more hobby to perfect! And we haven't finished putting everything back up on the walls, but we'll get there someday.
