April 2011

April was quite a mixed bag of events.

Spring break we stayed home and did stuff with friends

We adventured out with the neighbors to the zoo and actually made it through the day with only a few sprinkles. Rain never ended this spring.

Charly really was with us she is the one taking all the pictures.

Marshal and Noelle

Noelle and her best buds!

It is always fun at our house even if it is raining just pull out the music and see what can happen. This time we got Wrapper want to be's.

Night before Austin left

Neighborhood egg hunt brought indoors due to rain.

One of our families favorite events egg dying

There never is enough eggs for everyone. Chuck did more than his share this year that made for a few sad Children.

After the baskets were found

It took Marshal several hours and eventually a few hints to find his. That bunny makes it harder every year.

Easter morning before Church

4th grade Utah program

Noelle had Davis county this is her float and report.

Some reason this program gets me a little teary eyed with every kid.

The royal wedding

I woke the girls up around three they wore hats

We made crowns

and ate scones before heading off to school.

This was the only part Marsh wanted anything to do with, He thought the whole thing was stupid and that I had gone a little crazy.

I really did not care what the boys thought I still remember watching Charles and Di's wedding with my cousin Jenny and my Grandma. I thought it was magical and thought it could be a fun memory for the girls. Besides we had a blast!!!!!

March 2010

March was another successful month.

Marshal took a friend and meet up with his cuz for Jimmer's last home game

they had a blast!

Big month for Marshal he received his letter for wrestling. So proud of the kid to accomplish this his sophomore year. Now he just needs the jacket to put it on.

St. Patty Day festivities

We made some cute treats for some friends to celebrate

our interpretation of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I think they turned out alright for our first try.

The leprechaun trap

Marshal being the good big brother helped Noelle and Kendall's ideas kinda come to life.

The idea was that when he went in for the bait he would bump the wood the bucket would fall and he would be caught.

Instead they found the trap taken apart and stacked in the bucket with a doll/ monkey from their rooms sitting in the bucket and a trail of gold coins with a message for them.

TRY AGAIN

Sneaky little leprechaun

He did live a small prize and a trail of mischief

And of course you can't start the day with out green pancakes

February 2010

We start the month with Miss Charly's Birthday. She was very surprised with her main present. While she was at school I dove into her room and changed it around, cleaned it and turned her desk into a vanity. She was so shocked. Sharing her bathroom with Marshal made it a little challenging for her to do her hair and make-up. Of course she would not be a teenager with out getting some clothes and Jewelry.

So this year the kids were suppose to get there favorite home made meal for dinner but sometimes things can change on a dime. Marshal had wrestling, Noelle was at dance so we decided to just pick her up from her dance class and take her out. Of course she picked Cafe Rio

With her cake

We were very busy with wrestling this is one of the many meets. He did really well this year.

I thought we were done with official scouts after Marshal received his Eagle but he received his bronze palm and has now earned his silver.

Valentines day came and we had our famous dinner

My Sweetheart!

Heart shape meat loaf, baked potatoes, asparagus, butternut squash and stuffed mushrooms.

I wish I would of gotten a picture of all the cute Valentines we made. We always make homemade Valentines this year they were heart breakers. Two hearts glued together with the candy inside that said something like Don't go breaking my heart. you would then rip them in half to get the candy out.

Charly's schedule actually permitted her to play church ball.

The first week i could not stop laughing but I am pleased to say she ended up doing pretty well.

Kendall had her President's day program, she did fantastic!!!

This is her with her teacher Mrs Warburton

This is Chuck pulling the girls around in his Klondike sled

We had a fantastic month.

January 2010 AKA Marshal Birthday

I guess this should really just be a post for Marshal Now that I look it is the only event that I want to blog about.

Marshal turned 16

He really did not care much for presents. He just wanted his own set of keys to his dad's old truck.

The great thing about January Birthday's is I can always find a great deal on whatever is the new and cool thing they want. So he was surprised to get keys and his beloved i-touch.

This year the kids got to pick there favorite meal for dinner, Marshal's just happens to be breakfast. Breakfast casserole, Muffins, fruit and of course Chocolate milk.

Latter that day Marshal and Mckenna (they have the same birthday) celebrated with the family together

And the best part for everyone is the next day at lunch I grabbed him and took him to get his license. I love that he can now help take a load off of my plate just by getting himself where he needs to be.

Marshal is a great kid and we are truly blessed to have him in our family!!!

December 2010

Okay this could take me forever to catch up if I do event by event. I am going to give a quick look back at the highlights of December.

Chucks Birthday

He does not care much for a big hooray on his Birthday so we fixed him his favorite meal and the girls baked him a cake love the look on Kendall's face in the corner.

The only way I could get this girl to throw this gingerbread house that she made at school out was if I took pictures and promised to blog about it. I never promised how long it would take.

Peterson Christmas Party this day was a little crazy

I was in charge and Colle had given Birth to Kinslee early in the morning. You think I would have a picture of her but I could not find one of that day.

Kendall and Scarlet they had a great time playing together to bad life is so crazy they do not get to play on a more regular basis.

December involved lots of wrestling.

Lot's of Dance

This is at the winter recital

And a lot of Nutcracker Noelle actually performed in several casts

The Linford Christmas party

You know one of those parties you go to every year because it will probably be the only time you see half the people till the next year.
