This is the picture just before Danny slammed the door shut-not sure she wants to go through with this anymore!
This picture was taken right after Danny slammed the door and Adee's tooth popped outWhat is funny about this picture is that she isn't crying about the pain or anything like that. She is crying because she couldn't find her tooth after it popped out, and she was so worried about getting her money from the Tooth Fairy. She kept saying "I lost my tooth! I lost my tooth!" But she didn't mean it came out, she meant she couldn't find it. It was pretty funny. Anyway, we all got on our hands and knees and sure enough, we found the prized tooth.
Our tradition with lost teeth is that the kids put it in a small glass of water by their bed, then during the night when the Tooth Fairy has to reach in for the tooth some of her fairy dust and glitter comes off in the water & turns the water a different color each time. She also leaves them 4 quarters in the water too. The kiddos love it! Owen & Reese keep asking when they will lose a tooth, and since Owen's 2 front teeth have turned black from hitting them on the tile floor-I am hoping he loses them sooner rather than later!

Adelyn played a duet with her adorable teacher Camille Jennings
Way to go girls! We are so proud of you!!
When I found out that Tuacahn was going to do The Little Mermaid this summer, I knew I just had to take the girls. They were so excited! We made it a girls nite out & went with Grandma V & her little neighbor girl, Aunt Alesha, Aunt Angie & cousin Aiva. Grandma brought enough candy for the entire audience, but at least the sugar kept the girls awake-it was a late nite. The performance was amazing & the special effects were awesome! I was surprised by all the different songs-but loved it anyway. So glad we got to do this with some of our favorite girls!
Adelyn graduated from Kindergarten-how time flies!! The graduation was very cute. They sang a few songs & showed a slide show of some of the children's work. It was pretty funny to see how their little minds work & the things they remember & what sticks out to them. Adee wrote a whole book about Lake Powell. I guess she must really love that yearly trip!
Adelyn with her teachers Mrs. Clark & Miss Jones. Thanks Ladies-we will miss you!
Averee, Adelyn, & Owen wanted to try playing soccer this spring. We thought it would be a great idea for the girls to try something besides dance. We also thought it might help Owen get a little tougher. Danny ended up coaching Averee's team which was quite an experience. Dannys didn't love it & says never again, but we'll see. It was fun to see the kids get better each week. The season went by way too fast!
Averee liked to play goalie so she didn't have to run around so much :0)
Owen's friend Tyler Page & his cousin Cam Jones were on his team-FUN!
Adelyn and Owen were in the same league so they got to play each other...
luckily there was no fist fights!
Adelyn was a great player-she is the most athletic of our children so far

Each year our neighborhood does an Egg Hunt before Easter. The kids love it & we have a great time hanging out with all our neighbors & friends. 
Easter Morning...The Easter Bunny spoiled us this year!
Then we headed to a nearby park for our traditional picnic lunch and to roll eggs down the hill. The kids love to make tracks in the dirt then race their eggs down the hill. Happy Easter everyone!
Adelyn had her birthday party at Pirate Island Pizza this year. She invited all the girls from her school class & ward. 15 girls came to the party! What a crew :0) They had a blast playing in the arcade, eating pizza, & cupcakes. Adee has some darling little friends & it was fun to meet them!
Happy Birthday-We love you Adee Bug!!
Adelyn lost her first tooth! She had been wiggly that tooth for days, so her Dad finally convinced her to let him look at it & POP-out it came! She was surprised & didn't like the blood in her mouth but she didn't cry. Way to go Adee!
Our costumes were pretty fun this year too...what do you think? It was hilarious to see everyone's different reactions to our 'announcement'
Todd and Michelle threw a great family party this year complete with apple bobbing & Mummy Wrap-up!
The Halls...what a cute senior missionary couple huh? Good thing they came cuz there were some shady characters at the couples party that needed a good missionary discussion or two!
We all had a blast at the couples party this year...we played 'Minute to Win it' style games & it was pretty hilarious!
Until next year...BOO!!!
Averee is in 2nd Grade
