4th of July 2012

We (the girls) went to the cabin the week of the 4th of July.  Diane and Alice (with kids) came too.  The kids had fun playing outside in their forts.  We went to St. John's for the 4th and had so much fun!  Destiny won 3rd place in the 2 year old footrace.   We were surprised she didn't win.  Major was at EFY in Provo.  He stayed the next week for soccer camp while Carol went to EFY.  They are finally home and it's good to have them here!

June 2012

Juliette turned a decade in April.  Because of that she convinced me that she needed a party.  We did a party with holidays throughout the year.  It was really fun!

 Carol and Major dressed up for the Saturday night dance with a 70's theme.  They LOVE to go to the dance and are very upset if they have to miss for any reason!

 Lucy turned 12 on the first day of girl's camp, so we threw her a surprise party.  She was very surprised and had a great time!

I went to girl's camp with Carol and Lucy, but not as their leader.  I saw Carol a lot but Lucy was too busy to hang out much.  It was fun but exhausting!

All the kids were able to be in the same session of musical theater this summer.  It was really fun seeing the show with all of them in it.  Good memories and no pictures!  Bummer!

We are still having fun with Destiny!  She gets to come on all our vacations this summer, so we are excited!  She is doing really well and is so adorable!

March 2012

Major playing in the jazz band.  He usually plays a piano, but this was a more casual performance, thus the jeans.

 Major playing Cecil Colossus in the school play.  He played the part of a famous movie director, which is what he does in his free time - makes and edits movies.  Now that the play is over, he is busy with the track team.

Carol is playing on the tennis team and super busy with homework.  No pictures of her because she is the photographer.  Lucy got braces and still does ballet three day a week.  Juliette is progressing very well on the piano.  We got our first foster child, a little girl who is almost two years old.  The kids fight over her.  She is adorable and so much fun!

16th Party

We had a big party for Carol's 16th birthday.  It was also Major's by default since he is the same day.  We hired a DJ and he got the kids dancing and really having fun.  About 50 kids came.

 The only bummer was when the police showed up at 8:00 because someone complained about the noise!  

Science Center 2012

Our friends the Dobmann's came and stayed with us for a week after Christmas.  We had so much fun!  We went to Amazing Jakes one day (the whole day!)  

At the Science Center, Major, Ty and Clint road the sky cycle.  We talked and ate and had so much fun!  Juliette was very upset when they left!

Christmas 2011

This year for Christmas Eve we had Danish food and traditions.  Lucy was Saint Lucia and we danced around the Christmas tree.  Bryan told the legend of the Danish gift giver, a naughty elf.

December 2011

Lucy danced in the Nutcracker again this year.  She danced the Arabian and Waltz of the Flowers.

Major performed with the jazz band (piano), but we didn't get a picture.
