Sunday evening

I've said it before, but I love summer Sunday evenings.  The Sunday of spring break is almost just as good.  No school or work the next day, just getting to enjoy hanging out.  We went out to Ogden Bay for the boys to fish.  Gator was pretty bored until she started to throw rocks in a puddle, and moved to a bigger pond then she thought fishing was pretty fun.  Normally fishing out here, the boys catch lots of fish.  But this year, the last couple of times they've been they haven't caught much.  Davis did catch a pretty big fish this evening, so I'm sure they will keep going to Ogden Bay to try to catch more.

Storybook character day at school....

 School dances......

And the answer.....

 Volleyball season is done.  Gator did so good.  And her last tournament she did all over hand serves!

 Just one of the boys....

 Some spring skiing, it's nice enough I didn't have to sit in the lodge by the fire.  It was so clear and beautiful.

 I don't know....

Exhausted, waiting for the boys to get home.

The extra daylight

With the break in the rain and the extra hour of daylight it we took the chance to take Joey to the park.  It was great to get out, the park was flooded, but no one minded.  

Spring is coming

Today was a beautiful spring day.  We had dinner at the park with everyone, and we carried it over a little bit with a fire out back.  We still had our Christmas tree to burn, and a whole pile of wood we need to get burned before we move.  I will miss the fire pit.  As we made smores and hung out around the fire, I thought of all the fires we've had out there.  I took my own little trip down memory lane.

Eternal Family day

20 years ago I started my eternal family.  Best thing that I've ever done.  Although life takes twists and turns, and just doesn't work how you think and plan sometimes it can still be awesome.  So March 13th is now my eternal family day, and we celebrated by going out to ice cream.

Prom & Volleyball

Gator had a volleyball tournament today.  The games today were all neck & neck.  They are really getting the hang of the game.  They only have one more tournament.  After that I guess they will just keep practicing and getting better for next season. 

 It was also prom today for Fremont.  Davis was gone the whole day.  As a group they had breakfast, then took the front runner to Salt Lake.  They missed the train back, and Carrie saved the day and crammed them all in her car so they could get home to get ready for the dance.  I was at volleyball, but I wanted to see Davis all dressed up, so I offered to do pictures. I left during a break and took their pictures, and made it back just when they started playing again.  It worked out perfect.   After pictures, it was dinner and the dance.  Davis was exhausted when he got home, but he said it was such a fun day.  It is still a little weird to me that Davis is dating.

Just a little emergency

Davis was in urgent care last night with an infection in his toe.  I say this is a little emergency because prom is on Saturday.  He has to wear dress shoes and wants to dance with his date.  He had no relief after the doctor last night, and the pain and infection was going up his leg so I called Ryan who is always awesome to get us right in.  He burned a hole in his toe nail and gross yuck squirted out everywhere.  He felt instant relief.  Ryan put him on an antibiotic and he will be good for prom. 

Just for fun

Since Gator turned 11 yesterday, here is a picture of the three of them, all on their 11th birthday.  

Happy Birthday Gator!

Another birthday and Gator is another year older.  11!!!  Each year her excitement for her birthday builds and I hope she's always this way because everyone needs a day just for them!  Her favorite breakfast always has been and probably always will be cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.  

I picked Gator up from school at lunch time with a basket of treats.  We left for the rest of the afternoon, no more school for us.  

 Olive Garden won out for lunch.  It was a hard decision, but the bread sticks and alfredo made her decision. 

 March is a perfect time for a birthday.  Winter is ending and spring is coming, so it's a great time for new clothes.  I for one hate shopping, Gator loves it, so just the fact that I took her shopping for be enough, but new clothes top it off. 

 I love this picture.  She was so excited for her birthday, and I just love her smile and excitement as we sang happy birthday to her.  I'm glad this special girl had a special day.  She definitely deserved it. 

 Every time I take a picture of the three of them, I say it's my new favorite.  But really, I love this picture. 

 One word......Owen. 

Hypnotist

Years ago, during Frightmares at Lagoon, a hypnotist used to preform.  I was looking at different things to do, and the same guy comes to Wiseguys.  It was a hilarious show.  Partly because Davis went up and got hypnotized, but it would've been funny anyway.  Owen tried as well, but he snapped out of it.  Davis danced and sang and did all sorts of funny things.  I know he was really hypnotized, because there is no way Davis would be up on stage talking to people he doesn't even know.  It was so funny.  The same guy has shows for April and May as well, I think we may be going back, Owen wants to give it another shot.
