Happy Valentines!

G and Carly had to make Valentines boxes for school. Carly's is a mailbox, and G's is an airlplane hangar. We had fun doing Carly's hair today in a heart. So cute!

Carly got Matching PJ's for her and her American Girl doll. She was so excited. She had me take all kinds of pics of them together.

Carly's Gymnastic Review

It is so fun to watch Carly do gymnastics. She just loves it. She was asked to join a team this spring. We will see about that. She did a back walk over for the first time at the review. I heard her stand up and say, "I flipped over!"

G's Orange Belt

Garrett got his Orange belt in Karate last night. I wan't able to be there, so Annie and her kids were there to watch. Hallie was cheering so loud, that Annie had to ask her to be quiet. She was very excited to see G do his Karate. Annie took these pics for me from her phone. They are not super great, but you get the idea. Way to go G!

Carly is a Hero

Video of Ballet

Carly's 1st Day of Ballet 1-20-11 from Amber Wallis on Vimeo.

1st Day of Ballet

Carly was so excited to start Ballet. She took Ballet at WestSide 3 years ago, but was so excited to go again. She was all over the place. She couldn't hold still while waiting for the next instructions.

Tiny Ballerinas

Carly and Hallie started ballet this week. I had to takes some pics in their new leotards. They looked so cute. We thought Jaxon needed to camera time, too.

Ice Skating

I took Carly, Garrett, and his friend Branson Ice Skating today. It was pretty fun. We were frustrated because since it was almost 70 degrees today, the ice wouldn't stay frozen. We had to leave and come back. We aren't super great ,since we only get to skate once or twice a year. We were getting the hang of it, though.

Rileigh is 14

Rileigh turned 14 today. Wow! That makes me sick. Anyway, we had a good time at her party. It was a Dance Party at Southwest dance. I was sure glad when Tanner showed up and got everyone dancing, after he put on a show, of course. We did a few Zumba dances, too. Good Times. Happy Birthday Rye!

Snow in Dixie?

This is what we woke up to this morning. We didn't even see it coming!

Carly was so excited to go the Luke & Hallie's and have Chad help them build a snowman. He was melting as we took the pic. Just the kind of snowmen I like!

New Years in Zion

We went up to Zion with the Turner's for New Years Eve. We stayed at Cable Mtn. Lodge. The rooms were amazing! We rode up through Zion and park and took tons of beautiful, snowy pics. Then, we had yummy cream of potato soup for dinner. We headed into town for the fire works. It was fun to listen to the echos boom through the canyon walls. After, we went to the Imax theater, and watched Narnia on the giant screen. We played games and partied til midnight. We had sooo much fun. {and froze our butts off}

More New Year

Christmas

Christmas Eve at the Turners. The Awesome Elf brought us Awesome PJ's. We had a yummy candle light dinner. The entertainment for the evening were the great gifts that Annie and Greg gave each other. I don't want to see you wearing that Greg.

Lots of fun presents. Colby gave me a Kindle. Rileigh took a pic of me opening it while talking to Colby on Skype. We sure missed you this year, Colby. Thanks for the surprises! What a great Christmas this year.
