Finally Easter and more softball....

This weekend both girls had games. Megan had 3 at Murray Jr High. Mckenzie had a tournament in Roy. She had a game Friday night and early Saturday morning. Her and Brandon stayed up there. My dad and Glenda flew in Friday . We watched Megans 3 games Saturday, and made it to Roy to watch Mckenzies last 2 games.

The weather wasn't the best. Mckenzies game Saturday night rained the whole time. It was miserable. They played great in the "RAIN"

When we were in Napa, the 3 of us went to a party with some of Chars friends. It was lots of fun.

This year the girls thought they were "WAY" too cool to color eggs. We finally talked Mckenzie into coloring eggs with her dad.

All the loot from the Easter Bunny!

Haley and her cool aunt.

Mckenzie hunting eggs at the annual Egg Hunt.

Such a cute girl!

SISTERS!!

Mckenzie and her (2nd) cousin. She was in heaven.

Mckenzie and I flew to Napa for the annual Easter Party, the week after Easter. This was always something my mom loved to do. This year there were about 90 people there. She made us promise her we would continue her tradition. We dye eggs, hunt them, and then eat YUMMY food. This will probably be the last year. Char is moving to CO, my dad wants to sell the house. Its is supposedly for sale (on the down low) and it just isn't the same with out my mom. Michelle and her kids came. We had a great time.

6 wins = a hair cut

Brandon got a hair cut the other day at practice. The girls started playing not too hot this season. In fact horrible :) Brandon made a deal with them. He told them if they won 6 games in a row, they could shave his head. That seemed to be all they needed. They won 6 in a row, and played great. The girls had so much fun, they thought they were so cool.

Happy 12th Birthday....

to our very own BUDAH baby. Mckenize was born today at 2:46pm 12 years ago, weighing in at 7 lbs 7oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Though she wasn't born too big, we called her BUDAH baby. She was so chunky. Oh how we love you Mckenzie and so glad you are in our family. She had her interview with the Bishop last night. I can't believe she is going to be in Young Women's. Not sure how she got to be 12 so fast. She is so excited :)

Easton

We have a basket for shoes by our back door. Easton climbed into one day, and just hung out with all the shoes. Tinker we sure miss you! He has finally grown into his big head :) If only we was still that small.

This was so funny. He was hiding under his pillow, with just his head sticking out. Of course when I got the camera he decided to move.

No babies for Easton. We got him fixed last week. He got to wear this lovely cone for 10 days. He actually didn't seem to mind it, believe it or not. Having a puppy is sure a pain, but we have had lots of fun with him though. He is a lot of work!

Congratulations

The happy couple and their first dance.

The gang went to Famous Daves for dinner after their reception...very yummy!!

We went to Dairy Queen between the wedding and luncheon ~ look who was there too.

My dad got married Saturday in Bozeman MT. Mckenzie and I flew down saturday morning. We got there 2 hours before the wedding, we got checking into our hotel and had lunch. There were only few people that knew we were coming. My dad was not one of them :0) A month ago he had said he wanted us 3 girls to go to CO (haley had dance tryouts) to be together. As it became closer I was feeling like I should be there. Lots of family and friends were going. It was a fun weekend. My moms dad, brothers Tom, and Jr and his whole family were there. My moms cousin Jimmy and Doris. Jim and Karen Hickey were there and their grandson Ben. My dads brother Mick and his wife Val. A missionary that used to live in the barn many many years ago made the trip from Oregon,with his wife. It was good to see so many supporting my dad. I was so happy my sweet Mckenzie went with me, it made it much easier.

MacBeth

The cutest MacBeth witch ever!

the 3 of them just being normal :)

Mckenzie and the 2 other witches posing in their witch stance.

the whole class posing for pictures.

Mckenzes 6th grade class put on a play last week. They worked so hard for a very long time. They did a great job. Mckenzie was a witch. She learned her parts very quick and was so excited to perform. She was the best witch ever :)

Basketball

Mckenzie played basketball this year. She did great, for never playing before. She had so much fun and learned a lot. They won most of their games. She played point guard and shooting guard. She has found a new sport. No it is not replacing softball just adding too :)

Birthday Parties....

First time behind the wheel. Saturday Megan and I went to the Church so she could practice in the parking lot. Thank goodness for parking lots. I drove us over and we switched seats. She got all buckled and then asked which one was the gas and which was the break. Needless to say I was a little worried. Yes she really asked the question. And then of course argued with me when I told which was which. She said well in Grandpas car it was different :) Yep that's my child. She did a great job. She is very nervous, but doing good.

Friday night Megan had a few friends over for her Birthday. It is so nice to have them older. I only had to supply the food and goodies. They entertain them selves. No more goodie bags, or silly games to play. Yes they even think "WE" are cool. They are a good bunch of kids. They can come over any time.

Yes the want a B sisters had to make a mess. It almost looks cute on them :)

OMGosh!! Her life is complete! She has pictures of her husband to hang on her wall. Yes did you all not get the memo, Megan is going to marry Justin Beiber. Grandma and Grandpa made these posters for her. I am going to take her Toms back, save lots of money and give her some posters :) For her birthday we ordered her a Bingham High Jacket. Pictures when we get it, she should have it in about a week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Megan

One of my favorite pictures of Megan. She is 4 months old :)

Yes your eyes are not playing tricks on you. She does have her "PERMIT" YIKES!!! is right. Brandon took her this morning to take her test. She had to take it 2 times. Hopefully she knows more because she had to repeat it. She is so excited. Not sure yet when we will let her drive. I am not ready for this yet :) Can't believe she is 15 years old. She came into this world fighting for her life, and she is still a go getter. Way to go Meg we are so proud of you. You are a great daughter and a great sister. So are so happy you are in our family ~ Happy Birthday, We hope you have a great day!!

First at Bat for Bingham

First at bat ...... lots of butterflies

she got walked ~ good eye

first at bat. The sun was great, nice and warm it was in the worst spot to be taking pictures.

Since Mckenzie has not been mentioned in a few posts. Yes she is still part of our family :) I thought I would talk about her. For school she had to make a castle. Well of course we were going to be out of town when it was due, so she had to have hers finished before it was due. She and Brandon were up Wednesday night until about 1am putting the finishing touches on it. Pretty much poster board, and toilet paper cardboard rolls. It turned out great. Yeah for Brandon. I can copy most anything, but can't think it up myself. Brandon's brain works way different. Thanks goodness ~ I get out of making all the creative projects for school. We don't have final grade yet, but for all the time that was put into it she better get an "A"

We went to St George for the weekend. Bingham played in a tournament. JV played one game. Megan played the whole game. She started in Center Field and then played short stop. She did well. She has never played short before. She is loving it and having so much fun.

Saturday Wake up Call

Saturday morning Meg had a wake call she has never had before. The Juniors and Seniors from the team showed up at 6am. They barged into her room told her she had 2 minutes to get ready. They took all the Freshman to a team mates house and they made them breakfast. What a fun way to welcome them to the team and get to know each other.
