This year, Katelyn, Nicolene and Mahri were in the parade here in Bountiful with their dance Studio. Later, the Woods family come over later to watch the fireworks up on our roof. Great Grandma Whittles was visiting, but she didn't make the climb up onto the roof with us!

Dublin

2009-10-06T12:13:00.000-07:00

We didn't see much of the city unfortunately. We ended up going to catch a matinee of the new Harry Potter movie (which most of us slept through). These are the only pics of us in Dublin!

We were all so tired, Dallin fell asleep eating lunch at McD's. It was 7 Euros ($12) for a happy meal - outrageous!

2009-03-15T18:35:00.000-07:00

Katelyn had her ballet recital this week. It was one of the best recital we have gone to yet. She did a great job and we are very proud of her!

Disney on Ice

2009-03-15T18:28:00.000-07:00

We went to Disney on Ice Thursday night. It was one of the better ones we've been to! The older kids are outgrowing it, but the younger kids love it!

Draper Temple Open House

2009-03-11T03:38:00.000-07:00

Basketball

2009-03-10T12:05:00.000-07:00

Valentines at the School

2009-02-13T12:57:00.000-08:00

How do you choose which party to help with at the school when all 3 of your kid's parties are at the same time? I chose to go to Katelyn's as she only has one more year in Elementary School and I am not as involved in her class as I am with Nicolene's, (Mahri will have me for the next 6 years!)

We played some fun games like "Who can eat the fruit roll up the fastest, without kissing your partner!

Nicolene's 9th Birthday, Feb 2nd 2009

2009-02-03T12:26:00.001-08:00

I didn't realize I could only upload 5 pictures at a time. So here are some more!

Nicolene's 9th Birthday, Feb 2nd 2009

2009-02-03T12:21:00.000-08:00

Nicolene turned 9 yeasterday. She was soooooo excited. She had 4 friends come over to play after school (it is early out this week, so they are done at 1:25pm). Here are some pics of that!

The School Spelling Bee - January 2009

2009-02-03T12:10:00.000-08:00

Nicolene won her class spelling bee and went on to compete at the school spelling bee. She made it to the top 10 (out of about 40 kids). She was pretty pleased with herself as she was the youngest competing with 4th, 5th and 6th graders!

School Spelling Bee, January 23rd 2009

2009-01-23T18:39:00.000-08:00

Nicolene made it to the school spelling bee. She was pretty nervous as a third grader up against the 4th, 5th and 6th graders. We also have the gifted kids at our school. She came in 5th place and we were all pretty proud!

Nicolene on the Hot Seat - January 2009

2009-01-21T12:55:00.001-08:00

Nicolene finally got her ears pierced! She was very brave.

The Newest Addition to our Family - Cuddles!

2009-01-21T12:42:00.000-08:00

This is the newest addition to our family. We were having dessert at Marie Calanders in Bountiful when the waitress brought us a letter from the North Pole marked Urgent. We were told to go home right away and there she was waiting for us! The kids named her Cuddles. She is a Lhasa Apso/ Poodle mix. We all love having her as a part of our family.

January, 2009

2009-01-21T12:37:00.000-08:00

Well, I managed to create a page on Facebook, so I thought I would try my hand at a blogspot too. This month has flown in already. Katelyn is working on her Science Fair experiment and Nicolene is preparing for the school spelling bee this Friday. Mix that in with all the usual activities and it makes time fly!
