Some of Nikki's favorite friends.

Nikki has been friends with all these girls since birth!  Their Mom's are some of my best friends. (Kim and Meredith) We kidnapped Aubry for her birthday and took them all to Kneaders.  It was super fun!

5th grade field trip to the Capitol and the WAX museum

I went on the 5th grade field trip with Conner!  Yep he still wanted me to come :)  We had a blast on tour of the capitol and then playing kick ball on the grounds.  Conner has a lot of great friends at Windsor.  Rivers, Ari and Danny being some of his favorites.  It was also the wax museum this week.  I love seeing a bunch of 10 year olds try to stand still for 10 minutes at a time.  Conner was Paul Revere.  Sid, Nik and I went and saw him and the whole time we were walking around he was mouthing the words "check me out Mom PLEASE"  The girls and I just laughed.

DANCE MAGIC !!!

LADM! Sidney is performer of the weekend AGAIN!  This time for LADM.  She got the jacket!  She has really wanted it forever and now there she is.  All the girls did so great this weekend.  Nikki made it on stage but didn't quite get a scholarship BUT we know that is coming any time.  Nikki improves so much every month.  I am so proud of both my girls.  Next up Nationals is California!!  Sidney will be competing for Senior Dancer of the Year!  Go LADM!

LA

Conner turns 11

It was this cuties birthday last week.  I can't believe our baby is 11.  We of course celebrated everyday for what felt like a month!  Conner has been saving up for almost 8 months and working for Scott to buy a computer.  He bought a Mac Book Air.  After telling everyone he only wanted money for his birthday.  He took all his friends to Lowes Extreme Air Sports.  We also had family parties with the Stalkers and the Snowdens.

Conner is a Joy in our family.  He does a lot to help around the house when his Dad works so much and his big brother is gone on his mission.  We appreciate him and LOVE him so much!

Made another Easter trip to Moab!  It was a blast.  Sidney and Mom both took turns climbing in the JEEP!  Sidney was braver than me.  She went up babies lion back.  Scotty took us all over Hell's Revenge! It was a crazy good time.  We also had a money Easter Egg Hunt.  The kids each got about 20 dollars in coins and cash.  We hiked the Corona Arch and Biked on Slick Rock.  It's always an adventure in Moab.   Can't wait for fall when we can go again.

Another Cousin David Russell Baxter

The Baxter family added one more little one to their family this year.  David Baxter.  We all enjoyed holding and cuddling a brand new baby!  He is such a sweetie.  This is their 5th kid, 3 girls and 2 boys just like our family.  Stephanie pushed for about 5 minutes to get him here!  She did a great job.  All her kids just love him already and so does our family.

Scuba Diving Certification

Sidney, Nikki and Conner are certifying in Scuba this spring break.  Conner barely made the age limit of 11 because he turned 11 on the first day of class. Their Daddy is proud.  Mom tried to certify also but her sinuses were too bad to clear her ears so she wasn't allowed to take class.  Conner is loving it! Nikki likes it and Sidney is tolerating it for the sake of her Dad who has always wanted her to certify in Scuba! They have one more open water dive and then HAWAII!!!
