Allie's 2nd Grade Program

Allie had her 2nd grade program. It was Patriotic themed and sang songs like 'This Land is Your Land', 'Your a Grand ol' Flag', and 'What did Della Wear?' plus lots more! I remember loving Kaden's second grade program, and I loved this one just as much! I know Allie loved 2nd grade singing on Fridays to practice these songs, and I often heard her around the house singing them.

Birthday Celebrations cont....

On my birthday our good friends the Johnstons made me a great steak dinner! Who doesn't love chocolate peanut butter doughnuts from Madbrooks:) We always open our presents in the morning before school. Allie must have been excited because when I got home from the gym at 7:00 AM she was bathed and dressed waiting for me so she could open her presents!

That night we celebrated with pizza and a trip to Farr's Fresh!

Happy 8th Birthday Allie!

Happy 33rd Birthday Natalie!

Birthday Celebrations cont...

As Jaren was leaving for his Sunday morning meetings, he called for me to come here out to the garage. This is what we found....

No they did not leave a note, but I had a pretty good suspision on who it was.... and I was right:) I have GREAT friends! I am so glad I live where I do and have the friends that I have! Love them all:)

Birthday Celebrations

This was the beginning of our many birthday celebrations. We headed up to Logan for lunch at 'Elements' for my mom's 60th birthday! After that we celebrated our birthdays at my parents house...Allie and Bailey being cheesey! Cute jammies from grandma and grandpa.

My parents thought it was funny to give me fake baby chicks because I really want real ones:)Here is the poem they put with it....

Old McNatalie Had a Farm.... E-I-E-I-O

Someone said you had a hankering for raising chicks,

But we believe that business is only for hicks.

You live in the country that is true,

But raising chicks, you don't have a clue.

So if you are determined to farm away your days,

Here's some baby chicks we know you can raise.

Birthday Girls!

Most of the family...

Baptism Pictures

A friend of mine had this great idea of taking 6 girls who will be baptized in the next few months and their moms down to the Salt Lake temple to have their pictures taken. Have I mentioned she is the best photographer ever? What a fun day! After pictures we took the girls to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and ate dinner at The Garden. Here are some pictures of our outing:)

They couldn't have turned out any better! Absolutely love these pictures! These are the REAL pictures!

While the Girls are away... the Boys will PLAY!

While Allie and I were down in Salt Lake City getting her baptism pictures done, the boys were out biking and having fun at Antelope Island!
