School Dance

Rock Creek Elementary's PE teacher teaches 3-5th graders line dances, and square dancing. They then come and performing their dancing skills at the high school gym for all the parents and families. It's always so cute watching them dance and especially walking in with their arm link with a cute partner. :)

Arches National Park

Ryan went on High Adventure with the Young Men. He has been serving as Young President for the last year or so and loves his calling...all except for the camping part! But he had a good time with the young men. They went down to Utah to Moab. 

Dr. Seuss Week!

These girls love Dr. Seuss week. They asked if we dressed up for Dr. Seuss week when we were in school. Ryan and I told them we never had a Dr. Seuss dress up week. The author, Theodor Seuss Geisel, was still alive when we were in elementary school so we never celebrated it like that. So here are our crazy kids. Madisen wanted to be a Sneetch. That's one of my favorite stories, one that Ryan never heard of before until I showed him the youtube video clip/story of it. 

City League Volleyball

I was asked to join a City League Volleyball Team this last fall and I am so glad I joined! I had such a great time playing with these girls every Tuesday night for 5 months! So much fun!! These girls are all amazing volleyball players. And although we didn't win, we all enjoyed the season. Until next year girls!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Building a Robot

We love visiting Pocatello, which is only 1 hour 45 minutes drive from our home. So we go whenever we can get away. The girls love spending time at Grandpa and Grandma's house. G. G. Newman have a lot of fun toys that we do not, so it's fun for the girls to play over there and build stuff. This time they build (with the help from dad) a rotating robot that moves all over the play when turned on. 

Snow!!!

Oh how Avery and Emily love snow! Madisen is not as much as a fan of it as they are so she stayed inside and decided to use her new Christmas drawing paper and draw. Avery and Emily could have stayed out and played all day if they never got cold. 

Later though, Madisen decided to see what all the fun was about and they found a big place in the yard that was frozen over in ice and they all tried ice skating on it. It was fun to see them try running on it....hoping the whole time they don't fall and break something!! 

Just because...

First day back to school after Christmas break...just because they change so much so fast!

New Year's Swim!

So last year the Primary Presidency challenge all the kids to memorize all 13 articles of Faith. And if they did at the beginning of the following year the senior primary would have a swim party at the Bishop's house. The kids had such a great time in their heated pool. I don't know if the Bishop had such a great time as he got pegged by snowballs the whole time but he endured it well. :) 

Happy New Years!

Dan, Jillian and Claire came and stayed with us for a few days for New Years.  Jillian and Claire stayed in Madisen's room. Claire brought this fun game she got for Christmas and we all took turns with the funny blurry glasses. I can't remember the name of the game but we had some good laughs!
