CAITLYN'S 15th Birthday!

SURPRISE! We had a surprise birthday party for Catie on her 15th Birthday!

We did Smores around the fire pit because it was so cool outside!

This is Bertha the pinata. She was the highlight of the night!

Caitlyn watching everyone hit the pinata!

Tyson busted the pinata and candy went everywhere. Jared wanted to make sure he got most of it!

She got lots of candy, nail polish, purses, etc. What a fun night!

BROOKLYN'S GRADUATING!

Brooklyn is graduating from Maple Mountain High School! WOW - how time flies! It seems like yesterday she was starting kindergarten! She has been an excellent straight "A" student and has accepted a scholarship to Utah Valley University in the fall! She is trying to get accepted in their Nursing program!

BUTTERFLIES!

The butterflies are here - They are so beautiful! We have 5 of them - all the caterpillars lived! They are probably wondering what is happening? It is still snowing outside!

They love to eat the oranges that we inject sugar water into. 

Watching this process is truly amazing! It makes you realize how careful God was with his creations!

FAMILY PICTURES!

BROOKE'S Wisdom Teeth Surgery

Brooke lost her wisdom! She had all 4 wisdom teeth removed! She did really well - she is a tough girl! She didn't have to take any pain medicine - she controlled her pain with Ibuprofen! Friends brought yummy Ice Cream and Cards! The bruise on her arm from the IV was the worst part!

ANOTHER PROM?

Brooke got asked to another prom. She came home to a surprise with this darling poster and beautiful purple daisy flowers. How can you say "no" to this?
