This year she wanted to have a swim party. It almost didn’t happen because the weather was not cooperating. Luckily… Continue reading Anne’s Birthday

Luppin’s Birthday
We decided to have Luppin’s birthday party in May because we were gone on vacation on her official day. Actually on her birthday we were visiting the Capitol building in Washington D.C. and being led around by Representative Chaffetz’s staffers. This year she got to have a friend party so she was really excited. We… Continue reading Luppin’s Birthday

Flag Football
Every spring BYUFan and I sign up all of our kids for some sport through the county rec center. This year instead of having the kids all in one sport we had them in three different sports.

Samuel had a friend party last year so he had a family one this year. For his birthday he got a scooter, a toy tank and some army guys to go with the tank. He says his favorite present was the scooter, he rides on it everywhere.

This was the culmination of all the first graders work on memorizing poems and songs during the school year. Samuel was so excited about this day that he kept reminding me about it constantly. I got there… Continue reading Buddy’s VIP Program
Texas’ birthday
Since we have five kids, early on I decided that everyone would have a friend birthday party every other year instead of every year. So this year Texas had a family party and got to go out to whichever restaurant she chose. Usually when our family goes out to dinner the kids each have a… Continue reading Texas’ birthday
Trimming the tree
This year(2008) right after Thanksgiving, BYUFan left for Hawaii on a business trip, so the kids and I put the lights and ornaments on the tree all by ourselves. The kids had fun finding all the little ornaments they had made at school in previous years. They also loved getting out all the nativity scenes… Continue reading Trimming the tree
