Jorrin's Dance Company Recital

Jorrin has been getting up at 5:00 and going to the school from 5:30 to 9:00 everyday for the last month. She has also had all day Saturday practices getting ready for this dance recital. The big day arrived on Fri March 23rd and Sat the 24th. They did an awesome job and all of her hard work paid off. The whole family came and supported her. She is a beautiful dancer and I love to watch the emotion she puts into dancing.
We didn't get any pictures of the show we video'd it instead hopefully someday I can figure out how to get my videos to work on this blog. but for now all you get to see if the bow.
After the show she had lots of admirers including all the family.





Her advisor Tamy who she loves!
Her dance partner Dallas dance with her in a dance called "Stupid".




Thanks everyone for coming. Hope you enjoyed the show.

All Jantzyn wants if both her two front teeth

A couple of weeks ago I took Jantzyn to my work and had Dr. Simister give her an orthodontic evaluation. She still sucks her thumb and is getting quite the overbite. She was very nervous and didn't like him wiggling her teeth. She also told him she didn't want to stop sucking her thumb yet. He told me she was probably ok until she lost her front teeth and then we would need to do something. She swore that her teeth were not loose at all. Two weeks later even though she tried as hard as she could not to lose it one of her front teeth fell out.


It's a good thing the tooth fairy made it worth her while because she was not happy about it at all. She still swears the other tooth is not wiggly too. I have a feeling we might be back to the orthodontist in the next couple of months.

Spring Break

Spring break was relaxing and a lot of fun this year. Terry's sister Robyn invited us to do some things her girls had chosen that were free or cheap (with great coupons). We were so glad they invited us because my girls loved the whole week.This picture was taken on thursday activity skim boarding (I didn't get it added in the right order and couldn't figure out how to move it).



Sunday Jorrin did our family night lesson. She did a great lesson on
Jantzyn getting ready for prayer.
Jorrin giving her lesson.
On Wed we had a play with the neighbors day. Jaicelyn's friend Sammi came over and said she had soo much fun at our house which was nice to hear usually my girls say our house is boring.

On Mon. we went to the "spinny" park and the kids (big and small) had fun.
Jaice and Sadie getting ready to go down the slide
Jorrin amazed at how much fun it is at the park.
Pure joy on this face.
The big kids taking a break from the action.
They loved this swing.
Tavin and Jake seeing how dizzy they could get Jadyn.


Jadyn trying with all her might to push Jake to the top
It was a little easier for Jake and Tavin.
Relaxing
The big boys turn.
After they got tired of being dizzy they played in the river.


On Tues morning Jadyn woke up to a text from Jake telling her to check her car. This is what she found.
After a while we discovered there was a reason ...
on covering the clue
Jake asked her to PV's Senior Ball.

It made her morning!!!
That afternoon we went with everyone to Anti-Gravity. It was our first time going there and the kids has a lot of fun.
First stop was the huge trampoline area.
Everyone getting use to the tramps
they loved running up the wall and then jumping onto the tramp.
Or just resting on it for a minute.
They had bounce trains.
and flipping contests
and Jadyn and Jake had a race.


you be the judge of who won.



After they got tired of the tramps they tried a harness race.
you have to try to get as far as you can and grab a bean bag.
it was hard work.
Jaice and Sadie battling it out.
Jorrin takes on Gentry.
They had a kids area too that Jantzyn and Gentry tried out.
Their turn to battle. Jantzyn could barely lift the pole it was so funny. Even though she didn't think so.
Jorrin's turn to try to grab the bean bag.

Even Terry got in on the battling action and he took it outside the ring.
The younger kids version.
The last thing they tried was playing trampoline dodge ball. The side our kids were on usually didn't last very long.
So Terry and the older kids tried to help out.
They didn't do much better.

On Thursday the girls went skim boarding (see above picture) they had a lot of fun!. On Fri they went to the St. George Rec Center played racketball, dodge ball, climbed on the climbing wall and just had more fun. Then that night they slept at Robyn's house (which was the highlight of the week for Jantzyn). It was a great spring break!
