Lehi RoundUp Rodeo
We had fun as always, with the best seats in the stadium for the Lehi Rodeo. We like to sit at the very top of the bleachers so we don’t get anyone’s knees in our backs. The kids can stand up if they want and not block anyone’s view, and best of all, we aren’t …
Family Photo’s

Dance Festival.

April Showers
Earlier this week, Nate’s school class put on a wax museum. Nate was Abraham Lincoln. As someone would walk by his statue, they could press a button on his desk and he would recite a poem he wrote: Who Am I: I was born in 1809 But I was not printed on a dime Instead …
Week in Review
Here is the goal! A weekly update! I can do it, right? OK, now I’m reviewing the week, and seeing that not much really happened. BUT, we did finish (OK Erica finished) 15 fleece blankets to send to a charity in exchange for the 5 Disneyland tickets. Since she quite literally did them all herself, …
