Our Pine Tree

Well the pine tree has been coming down piece by piece as you have seen in previous blogs. The last piece on the west side came down about 3 weeks ago in a big wind storm. It started leaning to the east. Mike on Saturday while I was a work, cut the remaining side down and had most of the clean up finished before I got home. Here are some photos. It looks real different, but I'm glad I don't have to worry about it coming down on someone or something.

Train cars

Here are the pictures of the cars we made and used in the parade. Thank you Martin and Jamie for allowing me and the kids to spend the day with you.

First Day of school!!

Wow Time surely does fly. Today was Mikatie and Alex's first day of school. Mikatie was up at 545 to bath and then eat pancakes and then catch the bus at 7am. Alex has afternoon kindergarten, which is good cause he is a bear to wake up in the mornings. He had lunch then put his backpack on and fell over cause it was heavy with supplies. I can't believe my babies are both old enough for school. I swear it was just yesterday I was bringing them home from the hospital.

Great to be Eight!

On Feb 6th Mikatie along with Tyson and Tyler were baptized. It was a fun day, but hard for me to believe they are that old. They shared the same blessing day and so we thought it would be easier to have the same baptism day. Here are some photos of the day. Mikatie had the poem my three dresses. We had pictures of her blessing dress and baptism. I took a picture of my 2 dresses and used her blessing dress for mine. She had 3 white dresses now. Her blessing dress her sealing dress and her baptism dress. Thank you Rita and Jamie for all your hard work to make this a Great Day!!

Easter Fun!

Mike's aunt every year hides eggs for the kids with the help of his sister Erin. Then the kids get to hunt for them. This year Gremers came with us. Here are some pictures of the hunt.

Wow a year has gone bye!

I can't believe it has been a year since I last blogged. Life has been crazy at home and at work. Legacy has finished the new hospital and we have moved all into the same building. It has been a real challenge but we are still working out the kinks. I am adjusting to wearing the same navy blue scrubs day after day. Mikatie has finished 2nd grade and will start 3rd grade this fall. We aren't sure if she will go to Thatcher or Grace. She enjoyed tap dance again this year and is improving each class. She did a great job at the recital. You can tell she really is trying to get each step down and make sure everyone else is getting it too. She had a piano recital and did a wonderful job. She is growing into a beautiful young lady and I wonder where my little girl has gone. Alex also finished preschool this year. He can't wait to go to "real" school this fall. We have heard rumors about Grace going back to half days 4 days, instead of 2 full days. He also had tap lessons but they were more fun time with the 3 boys, which at the recital showed. He is a ham but has fun doing whatever he is involved in. He has discovered the wii and lego games on the wii. We play Harry Potter, Star Wars and Batman every chance he can get.
Mike is farming and still snowmobiling. He went this last Saturday with Cam and Jay. He is always thinking what he can do to change and improve them. I will try to include some pictures. Looking forward to camping next week with Mom and Dad and Martin's Family. Training for the triathlon is going good and my family is getting more fit.

Snowmobiling

Here are pictures of the last time we went snowmobiling. It was fun. Thanks Cameron for going with us. The kids had a blast.
There is also the pictures of the snowmen we built this year. With the snow melting I thought I should get them on here. Next it will be Easter and spring!
