Hannah

Hannah went in for a 15 month check up and she weighs 19 lb. 4 oz. putting her in the 8%, she is 30 inch tall, putting her at about 40%, they say. They said all is well. She is showing a lot of independance these days with a few tantrums in there as well. She really enjoys turning the computer screen off while I am on the computer. haha. She is really funny.

Falcon's rock on!!

41-28 was the final score at last night's game against the Dixie Flyer's!! It got intense a few times. But it was a great game. The boys all work as a team and the coach keeps them pumped up!

Who are the Falcon's, the mighty, mighty Falcon's?

38-0 was the score at last nights freshman football game against the Pine View Panthers @ Pine View. That was awesome! We were scared at first because they have some HUGE players. But our boys pulled it off pretty good.
Great Job! And Josh was given one of two cd's of the game for having so many great "hits". I think I like football. Go Falcon's!!

Dillon's football is well underway too. They lost the first game 24-13. And won the second 26-0. They are doing good and having FUN. Clarissa is going to be in Cinderella, the schools next musical. She has a small part but is very excited! Rehearsals have stared and the play is in November. Everyone is very busy.

Try Try again

Well the freshmen football team lost their last game, 23-13. They played hard but Milard played harder, they were small but tough. They have some time to practice, the next game is next week in St. George. Good luck!!

The Falcons Rocked the Rams

Hoooorayy! Josh is on the freshman football team and they won the first game they played. 19-12 against Parowan. Good job guys!!

school is in

Well school has started and the kids are having lots of "fun" doing homework. I can't believe I have two kids in highschool!! I am getting sooo old! They are all doing good and very busy with sports and drama. Clarissa will be trying out for the next school play, Cinderella. Josh is playing freshman football. Dillon is playing city fottball and Makayla is play soccer (she scored three goals in tonights game!). Here are Clarissa, Dillon, and Joshua leaving for the bus at 7am. Clarissa and Joshlyn going at 8:30am with Hannah wondering where everyone is going.

ASL

Clarissa recently was awarded a certificate for getting 95% or better in her american sign language class. It has been fun for her to learn asl. It has sparked an interest in me to learn it and now Hannah, Makayla and I like to watch
signing time which is a show that teaches asl for kids. It is fun.

Ribbon Patrol

Ribbon patrol!! Dillon and Makayla each earned 4 ribbons and a certificate at the school track and field day. Dillon got 1st place in the 400 M, 4x100 Relay, softball throw (136' 6"), and 2nd place in the 100 M. Makayla got 1st place in the 400 M, and softball throw (72') and 3rd in the 100 M and 4x100 relay. And they both earned a "Presidential" award for reaching a goal set by the US president to encourage kids to be fit.

Time

Where has the time gone?? School will be out in only a few weeks (May 22nd!!) Yippee! No more nasty old mean teachers to deal with!! YEAH!! And then the kids will be off to youth conference and camps and lots of R&R. We will have 1st Birthdays to celebrate and NO TV family days!! A little swimming and some time sitting in the shade at the park!! A trip or two to heat of ST. George. The Brigham Young home, Jacob Hamblin home and temple visitor center here we come. OH yeah a little shopping too. What's for lunch Steph?? We'll need a little sun screen and some water for a bit more fun. It all sounds good today, hopefully we won't find excuses to not do any of it and just sit around the house wishing we had someplace fun to go, someone cool to visit or something neat to learn, wishing for school to start!!!

Dillon

Dillon was in his first orchastra concert Dec 13th. He did very well and we are proud of him. I love to watch my kids learn new things and excell!!

Clarissa's play

Clarissa was in the musical Oliver at school. She did very well. I love to see her perform on stage. She really puts her all into it.

6 month check up

Hannah went in Monday for shots and she is not feeling well. She has been crying non stop all day and running a low fever. Her leg is swollen with a hard bump just under the site of one of the shots. It makes me sad!! She is 25 inches and 15 pounds 15 ounces. We will both be very happy when she fells better.

Clarissa!!!??

Clarissa loves to take photographs!! Especially of herself!! She took these ones at school with her bff Kris. She is very silly.

P.S. No animals were harmed in the making of these pictures. -Clarissa (Your buddy ol' pal)

Late nights

Hannah always wants to stay up late. She is always the most talkitive and playful at night. So Clarissa and I made some little videos of her. She is so funny.

Clarissa started her first "real" job today. She works at Pioneer Pizza. She had so much fun and her employer (Ginger) said she just loves her. She is learning the ins and outs of pizza making. She came home smelling like a yummy pizza with onions. She works again on Thursday. I am old!
