Sid's first trip on a plane without us!

Sidney worked hard and earned enough money to travel to Kansas City MO. She left on a Friday afternoon and stayed until late Sunday night! She had a blast there and danced her heart out. She ended up winning a scholarship to Nationals which was very nice! She traveled with ROSIE and LINDSAY and her Mom. She is already working hard to earn more money for the next trip!

WoRking OUt

Susie and I have been trying new things. And trying to push ourselves. We have started biking up the canyon again. We want to do the Alpine Loop in the next few weeks. We started hiking too. We are going to run the RED ROCK run. It is 188 miles in 24 hours with a 12 people relay!! cRAZY I know!! Susie is a great partner for me! We seem to push each other just right!

SNOW CANYON HIKING

NOthings better than a spur of the moment trip out of town. It hasn't been warm enough here so we packed up and headed South for the weekend! We had a blast in ST. George. We swam, layed in the sun, laughed and Hiked through Snow canyon! I love trapping our family together for a Weekend away from home.

5th/6th grade kickball tournament champs!

One of the most EXCITING days of the year is the WINDSOR kick ball tournament. It is sooooo much fun to watch. We now have two champions in our family! Austin's "SHARK" team won when he was in 6th grade and now Nikki's team "EXTREME SPAINARDS" won this year! I think Jess played in a championship game too.

Field Day for Nikki and Conner

This year for field day Nik and Cons danced. Each grade took a different Era and did a dance from that time. Conner did the twist and Nikki danced THRILLER. It was really fun to watch all the kids. Great idea Windsor! They then ran all the races and had a big water fight. I love the kids school. I have been involved in the PTA here since Jess was in Kindergarten. 14 years now. I was PTA president three years and have help almost every other position or helped on every commitee since then! GO WILDCATS!!

Sidney teaches Thriller to the whole 5th grade at Windsor

Brave Sidney took on her first choreographing and teaching job to 70, inexperienced, 5th grade dancers. I was so proud of the way she took charge of those kids and they actually listened to her and learned the dance. They looked great on performance day! Sid didn't get to see them because she was off GETTING HER BRACES OFF! Finally after 2 years and 3 months they came off. Her smile is beautiful!! Great Job Sidney!

Nikki's triathalon

Nikki is my first kid that actually asked me if she could do a tri! Jess did one with us but wasn't ever really that excited about it. Sid has done three now and is always glad she finished when she is done. She even took third place in the 15-18 year old division this year! But it's always me talking her into it. Nikki was really excited for her tri and wants to do another one. She took 11th place out of 24 kids. I thought that was great for her first time. She had to run 1 mile, bike 3 miles and swim 250 meters. Way to go Nikki!

The Two High Schoolers

Sidney is so excited to now be called a Sophmore. Austin and Sidney are dream teens I have to say! I love them, I love their friends, I love that they still hang with our family all the time, and that they make it so easy to be a Mom! I love all their activities, dating, sports, dance, ym yw, jobs! It's all a blast! They have always been best buddies and now they get to face high school together! Austin's last year of school. Only 18 months and he'll be on his mission. Wow. I'm already fretting that. I'm not ready to lose another kids :( . They must grow up and you just sit back and hope you taught them enough as a Mom and they half listened....haha!
