Joy School Graduation!

 I loved doing joy school this year!  It made it especially special because I had two boys in it!  This was such a great group!  We had so much fun!  

Dance Day at School.

Pirate Day at School

Special Day with Scott... What a cutie!

Spring Session Dance Recital

 Another session of Dance class went by.  Super fun.  We had a lot of fun songs, and it all turned out real nice.  

Grandpa's....

 It's a good thing to have a nice grandpa to watch a show with.  Too cute.

Mothers Day 2012

My Mom, and Me!

 Jared and his Mom (And Breanne)

  The kids (And Jared) gave me wonderful presents!  I love being a mom!  It was a great day!

Got my Purple Belt today!

I'm officially a purple belt in Kenpo Karate!  It is a life dream, fulfilled!  I always wanted to learn karate, but it seemed it would never work out for me.  Then the planets aligned, and I got this amazing experience to learn, and now I'm up to Purple Belt.  Plus I got to meet some AMAZING people!  And made some really good friends!  This has been a wonderful day.  My hear is full of gratitude!  A special thanks to Ted Hoskins for all he did for us!  (He's in the middle.) and to Chad Jardine for keeping it going!  Us "Karate Gals" are having a blast!  And we are learning so much!  We're pretty good!  Now on to Blue Belts.....

We applied for the Amazing Race show!

Now, chances are SUPER slim that we will get on, but we are huge fans, and thought..."what the heck", lets just shoot a quick video, fill out the stuff, and send in our audition.  And who knows???  Maybe we could get in?  It would sure be fun!

Some people were wanting to see this, so I'm posting it.  Here was our video.

Here are the pics we submitted too.

We'll know late June if we made call backs.  We aren't holding our breath, but hey... a person can dream, can't they?  :)

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Breanne dressed up for Dr. Suess Day at school.  One Fish (her), Two Fish (the fish on the sticker), Red Fish (her), Blue Fish (the sticker).  I thought it was pretty creative!  She is so cute!

Joy School Field Trips to the Xray dept of the hosp, and Winco. And a PH experiment.

For the letter "X" we went to see Xrays at the hospital.

For the letter "W" we went to Winco and saw all sorts of "w's" there.

Testing Ph levels for fun!  Interesting, and COLORFUL!

3rd grade Field trip with Josh's class to the Clark Planetarium. Cool Place!

A visit to the State Capitol!

 Dad wanted to come here to see the Legislature in Session.  And while he got to go in, and even go down and sit on the house floor with our legislator, the boys and I went exploring!  We had a lot of fun!

Winter Dance Session Recital

An ATTEMPT at a newer family pic. I think we need to keep trying.

Joy School Field Trip to Hale Center Theater

One of the Best Field Trips I have ever been on!!!  They toured us all around their theater, like back stage, where they keep the costumes, and practice.  They also did a fun light and sound show for the kids.  Then at the end, the kids got to put on a play.  So FUN!

I want to make me one of these for Halloween!  How cool are they!?  Amazing head dresses.

I was crazy and had the boys make tool boxes! It was fun though!

Raspberry Freezer Jam.. YUM!

The Ward's Valentine's Day Party...SO FUN!

Joy School Field Trip to the Bean Museum

What do you do with your life between....

Dishes

and 

Laundry???

Ugh, sometimes it feels like that is what life is.... just some stuff I do in between doing either dishes or laundry.  I'm blessed to have both a dishwasher and washing machine!  Those people who don't have one probably feel like that's all they do!  Oh well...  Guess that is part of having a big family!  And that is totally worth it!
