Jr. Cheer Clinic!

This past week Ela took part in the Jr. Cheer
Clinic at Provo High....Only this year was different!........

She actually performed the whole dance start to finish! Yes to mee it is an accomplishment. In the past three years she has done it, she has just stood there when the time came to show off at halftime.

But this year she Did It!!!!!

finally, I found the time to post!

So to all you adoring fans out there....... I found a little time to update you all on my really cool life these days! So where to begin....

Ela started preschool at Challenger School, thanks to grandma Bonnett...( my atm machine...ha ha ha J/K) . She loves it. Pictures you ask, well I do have them just not with me on someone elses camera cause mine still doesn't have batteries. This past week she had western days. And she got to wear her very favorite red cowboy boots! And Luke and I got the pleasure of seeing her sing in a little program, where they sang "Happy trails to you". She loves it, and is doing very well.

Luke is still in his horse back riding class, and started a play group at 'kids on the move', where he is learning more social interaction with peers, taking turns, speaking! And if you didn't know this already, kids with downs syndrome tend to be a tad stubborn. So Luke is having a hard time learning he is not the only kid in the classroom! He is so very close to being a walker! He tries really hard, and is getting better everyday!

Dave has gotten another job.......yes count it 3 jobs now. Thank heavens his summer hob is starting to slow down. The big Dave is now the Tracker at Timpview High School. So far likes it very much.....after he swallowed his pride. Goooo bulldogs!

I Have been very busy the last couple of weeks, I was asked to choreograph the Homecoming routine for the Provo High Cheerleaders! Which turned out quite good, I must say I was very proud. MY hair is now Dark Brown, although Ela is convinced it is black! I am working a ton at Macey's, I picked up some hours to help out. Now I can honestly say I feel like I live there. I am taking care of My niece Eva .....WE MOVED!...... and oh ya I had a Birthday! Phew

To some it up, I am very busy women, But I am very HAPPY!

until next time (hopefully it won't take me as long)

still alive!

still alive, not that anybody really noticed! Been very busy with Ela school, Work, Moving.... anyway post something soon!

first black eye....check mark.

Hi my name is Ela! I like to draw!

Hi my name is Luke, I have a black eye!

and big cute teeth.

Yes he got his first black eye,

And it wasn't my fault, he was doing normal wild boy things!

and he survived!

P.S we did go to flaming gorge, but my camara batteries died before we could even begin, maybe i can steal some from my sisters!

childrens parade/ Ela's birthday party/ 4th of July picnic! all wrapped up in one

We begin with the Childrens Parade..........

Luke managed to fall out the back while i was yelling at Ela for running into people... sorry monkey boy,....... (didn't seem to phase him!)

Miss Cosette!

Beaver, our baby contest winner (first place might I add)

Co and Ela having some donuts afterward. Woot Woot Provo Bakery!!!

Now to Ela's b-day party. Her actual birthday is the 4th, but with all that is going on that day we try to have it a couple of days before. Well this year it happened to be the only rainy cold day out of the entire weekend!

Luke and dad!,(luke looking like he is going to lose his life)

To end with the 4th of July,

No parade this year, I decided to run the freedom run, and was to dang tired to hike to a parade, and sit in the heat.

Daddy and Luke sleeping through the great party, daddy worked the graveyard shift and hadn't slept yet!

I love the fourth, I love being with family, i am horrible at taking pictures, and realize after the fact. But it was a very fun day,

Happy birthday Ela! Happy Birthday America!
