As much as I have tried to get Anne to do soccer, basketball, swim team, volleyball or tennis (which she has done all of these so far!)...... dancing is HER passion! She just made the all star team at CLUB DANCE and will be doing parades, half time shows and a few competitions too. She is so fun to watch and having the time of her life. So good bye to my tennis girl dreams. She told me to try again with Grace or Brooke.


Spring Dance concert with many of our cute ward/neighbor friends. It was so fun.

Spring piano concert. Sam did the AZ study program theory and performance exam at ASU. He practiced hard and did great! He is coming along on the piano.

My girls and I are BIG fans of aprons. We wear them all the time. Sometimes even just to set the table. It just feels official or something to have an apron on in the kitchen. I think these turned out pretty cute. The girls scouts caught on to sewing quick.



The little girls enjoyed KIDS CHORALE. They are becoming great buddies. They were so cute singing, dancing and playing their Kazoos!

CTA Talent show.

Our cute nieghbor friends came to support Anne.

Good Bye Girl Scouts! We are all done with Girl Scouts. It has been a wonderful experience and wish we had more time to continue with it. There are just too many wonderful activities to choose from.

Cub Scout day camp. I went for one of the three days. These boys really know how to have fun.


Sam and I started Book Club 4 Boys. So far we have read How to Eat Fried Worms, and George Washington's Socks. Next up is Indian in the Cupboard. It is a great time.

My brother Dr. Curtis put braces on Anne and got Sam started on his treatment too. Is n't Anne a cute assistant?

A visit to Dad at his dental office. The kids do not love to see Daddy here. He treated them well with balloons, stickers and lots of other prizes.

Dental school friends Jen Watkins and Jodi Manwaring came to town and met for a playdate (well Jen lives in Las Sendas so it was quite a drive for her too). I love these very dear friends and wish we could see them more.

Curtis Cousin madness. Nana's Birthday Bash! We are so lucky to live by so many family members!

Caroline - Aprons are darling - Anne looks like she is 17 - little girls are getting so big - and Sam is cute as always! So fun to see some pics of your family and your beautiful new house. Keep trying with tennis. I think two of my kids finally have the bug. They told me it's the indoor thing that is making them love it (it's probably the smoothies at the bar they get after their lessons)! It looks like you guys are doing great! Take Care -
So happy to finally see an update!! Can't believe that we live so close, and have yet to see each other's new homes! I am a slacker friend-now with school starting, we'll have to get together-and I think we will be in the same church building too.-We miss you guys!

Hooray! So great to see an update on your darling family. Looks like you've had a fun summer! Your kids are beautiful and so talented. And you, my dear, are lovely as always. Love the aprons!
It was so great to see you a few months ago. Let's do it again soon!
Looks like you guys have been busy! I can't believe Anne is in sixth grade this year! I love the book club for boys idea, so cute. You are such a fun mom!
