Year End Horizon Choir Concert

Rylee's choir conert was very nice. They sang several songs they learned throughout the year, plus some really fun songs like; "Surfin' USA" medally, "These Boots Were Made for Walkin" and "Popeye the Sailor Man". The music teacher at Horizon is excellent. She's organized and has so much fun with the kids. These kids sound awesome and are very good at following her direction. We will miss these wonderful concerts/music programs.

After the concert, Mrs. CK handed out choir awards. Rylee recieved 3 awards for her achievements; a certificate of participation in choir, a music festival certificate and ribbon and a perfect attendance certificate and pin. Rylee was most excited about the perfect attendance award... that's so her. :o)Refreshments of cookies and juice were provided. Here's Emily, Rylee and Charity, choir/church buddies.

E is for Earth Day

Today in pre-school we learned about Earth Day. We talked about how we can take care of our Earth. We made Earth Day visors and then took a walk around the neighborhood to collect trash. Keeping this little group of girls safe and together was a bit of an adventure. I'm happy to report all went well and everyone returned safely. :o)

A Pre-school Princess Tea Party

Our pre-school theme was princess. Our letter for the week was "e". We learned how princesses are elegant & polite. We also talked about how princesses use etiquette & manners. So E is for elegant & etiquette. We had a "tea party" with lemonade. I also made a crown cake (saw it in the Family Fun magazine and just had to try it out). We talked about table manners and then practiced our etiquette during our tea party. The girls did such a good job. We had so much fun.

The Wedding

Emma, Carson, Jade, Colton & Jordyn getting pictures taken before their daddy and Teresa come out of the temple.

It was such a nice sunny day, they had a hard time keeping their eyes open. The photographer would have them close their eyes for the count of 10 then open them to take the picture. Little Carson just kept them closed.

Teresa's mother holding her beautiful bouqet.

The new couple... freshly married.

The swarm of kids. They were so excited to see their daddy and Teresa. Jared & Teresa with the kiddos. What a beautiful new family! Rylee, Taylee, Treyson & Abree in front of the Ogden Temple.

Smullin Gathering = Gaming

Our family went to Utah this past weekend, for Jared and Teresa's wedding. The night before the wedding, we all gathered at Mom & Dad Smullin's house. When the Smullin's get together, usually there's some sort of gaming going on. That night there was a little "Rock Band" and "American Idol". The next night the guys played "Halo3" while the girls played "Pass the Pig".
