Lizzie is having so much fun at her dance class with these cute friends. Every Tuesday she has her ballet class with Miss Jenni, and then we rotate house to have a lunch playdate! Lizzie loves these days and always has tons of fun with her friends! 

Isaac's most recent magnet creation. All the kids really enjoy building and playing with these magnets. 

Here's an old picture of Danny. We found a box of old photos in the attic. Taylor looks so similar! 

Danny and I had a work event with his MRED students this week. He has a great group of students. 

These cute cousins like to walk to this skateboard swing and play! It's such a great swing! 

Emily has got a great group of friends at school! This makes me so happy to see her with a fun group. She went to a Bday party at Fat Cats this week. She said it was a blast! 

Having a real tea party at Grandma's! 

Our Saturdays are mostly spent running from one sporting activity to the next. Isaacs in soccer and emily is really loving her volleyball! Both teams are doing great and improving!

The kids had fun rapping and doing skits at G & G Shields house on Sunday night. 

The tortoise and the hare, Joey & Tank! These are out cute pets sharing a snack of dandelion greens.  

We moved our tortoise outside for the Spring, he likes his new habitat. But sometimes he still tries to climb out of it, and it's really funny. Tank the tortoise has been a pretty good, easy pet. 

In primary we've been doing the B of M Challenge. The kids have a chart to fill in and then we're doing a fun reward for all the kids too. It's been a fun way for the kids to read their scriptures! 

Lizzie does a lot of drawing and writing for everyone in the family. This particular page was for Taylor. I love how it shows them holding hands. She is really doing great with reading and writing. 

We had the Pinewood Derby last week and all the cub scouts were so excited! Isaac and Danny worked hard on his car and designed it just the way they wanted it. 

Isaac took first place in his den, and also 1st place overall! Way to go Isaac ( and Danny ) 

He was very excited and so pleased that his car did well in the competition. This race is a boys dream! 

Talyor and his friends at young men.  He has a good group  of guys and leaders. 

Lizzie and I babysit a little baby, Neve on Friday. She was 3 months old and we had SO much fun with her. Lizzie was so helpful feeding her, helping with her and playing with this adorable little baby. 

The girls doing dress-ups and playing with the foam blocks! 

Emily is really improving at Volleyball. She's getting good at serving and returning the ball. 

Now that it's Spring, the kids have been having lots of lemonade stands. They have fun spending time on the corner trying to sell their drinks, cookies and popsicles.  I think they made $11. 

Sunday night we celebrated Grandpa Shields Birthday. Also Spencer and Milly too. We had a great dinner and yummy cake etc... 

We had a fun breakfast with friends to celebrate one of my friends birthdays! It was a fun morning and fun to socialize with all these lovely ladies. 

Spring

Lizzie has officially mastered riding her two wheeler bike!
She loves riding around the neighborhood on her bike and is always begging to go on a big bike ride. I love that she learned so quick and is brave at riding her bike even after she has a fall off of it. Great job Lulu!

It's so cute to see her little legs peddling so hard!

Monica & Dave welcomed a beautiful little girl into their family on Tuesday April 12th.
Jane Bauman is so gorgeous and just a perfect little baby. Her family and sisters were thrilled with her arrival! She will have lots of love in her family from three older sisters. 

Taylor is really looking like a teenager theses days. We bought him a new suit this week and he looked very handsome. I am proud of him for doing well in school, teaching ukulele, taking guitar and keeping up on everything else in his life. He's a great boy! 

Emily is really having fun at her volleyball. She has a fun team with lots of her friends on the team. She is one of the tallest girls on the team and is getting good at serving, hitting the ball etc...
It's a lot of fun watching her play! She's a natural athlete and she's going to be tall. 

Isaac has been practicing his Ripstik a lot lately.  He got this toy for his bday in March. It's a little hard to learn but he's been practicing a lot and really getting good at it! 

We've been taking some pictures of out house so I can start posting online to rent it. We will be moving when my parents move to Toronto for their mission for three years! 

Here are a few more pictures from Danny and Isaac's trip to CA. They had a great time seeing Skylar, Eden and Chloe on Sunday! 

We love our cousins! 

We had a big day in our family on Saturday as Isaac was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
He was so excited and really to be baptized! 

Isaac got a new suits, shirt, tie, shoes & belt for the big day! We got him a fresh haircut, he had an interview with our bishop and he was ready for his baptism! 

Lizzie was super excited for him and was really cute to him about the whole thing! 

We took a lot pictures because it was such a memorable day! We sure love our cute Isaac and we are really proud of him and his decision to be baptized! 

The kids were loving taking so many pictures, ha but they were good sports about it.  It was a wonderful day full of family and friends and we are so grateful for everyone that came to support Isaac! 

Danny had a big work dinner a few weeks ago at The Grand America. They had a professional photographer there to take pictures of everyone. It a nice to get a few good picture of Danny & I. It was a fun event!
