Adyson Participated in a Regional Honor's Choir. She had a blast and got to be part of a special number. They did a great job!

 

Adyson's 11!

 

 

 

Happy 11th Birthday Adyson!

Adyson had a great birthday this year.  We had a family dinner on her actual birthday.  Her menu was...chocolate cream pie for breakfast, Zuppa Toscana soup, salad, and garlic bread for dinner, and banana cream pie for dessert.  We had fun celebrating her!  Her grandparents came over to see her and join in the dinner celebration. She also had a birthday party with friends the next day.  Everyone guys played games, had chocolate and cheese fondue, and did splatter painting.  It is so much easier to have a big party with older kids. You had a blast!  Some of your favorites:  Sport: Soccer, Food: Spicy Spaghetti, Color: Lime Green, Book: Kane Chronicles Series, Book: Harry Potter: 3rd book, Funny thing about you: When you don't want to do something you put your finger over the top of your mouth as if you have a mustache and are in disguise so that maybe we won't see you and make you do it.  Makes me laugh every time!  :)

Adyson,
       You have grown into such a beautiful, talented girl.  You are such a focused, peaceful person.  You are a great helper and wonderful example to your little sisters.  We love you so much, and feel so lucky to have you!

Broken!

I dislocated and broke my left pinky finger helping coach Adyson's basketball team. It was such a random thing. I reduced it myself, but the bone was still broken and crooked :(  Not fun! On the upside, Rick gave me a wonderful blessing, and had a very unique, special experience.  Always a positive, right?  Praying for no surgery....

Abby got her ears pierced!

She was very brave, and she got spoiled with a sucker afterwards :)

We went down to the new Visitors Center at the Portland Temple for Family Night last Monday. We had fun learning some new things.  We then went for a walk on the grounds, ate a yummy dinner, and checked out Deseret Bookstore.  We took this picture with our camera timer.  Abby was so interested in watching her dad run back and forth between the camera and us that we couldn't get her to look forward. :)

Temple Visit-Family Night Fun!
