Gaston Prom

Hope went to Prom last night. She went with a boy from our ward, his name is Nathan. She said it was alot of fun, but really small :) I wonder if it was the size of my Prom, probably smaller. Gaston is a really small town. They went to dinner at the Macaroni Grill. Then to the dance. They had a really good time. Some of you may notice that the dress is the same, you can totally recycle a dress if it is for another schools dance right? Besides that she looks totally awesome in that dress!!

First Class

Tayler just passed his swimming off, so he will be getting his First Classman badge in Scouts!!! Now we just need to get busy on all of those merit badges :)

Eleven

Happy Birthday Emma!!!! Today is Emma's birthday, how can my baby be 11!!! The first time they handed her to me she sighed. What a cutie!!


I thought this one was funny, she didn't know what to think about being practically naked. That is a way easier clean up job when dyeing easter eggs.

I love this photo, she is always smiling.
This is Emma's first day of school. Preschool at 4? That seems way to young.

Emma loved to dance, this is her with her good friend Savannah.
Tayler and Emma are such good friends, I love this photo too.

She also loves the BIG swing at the cabin. We all do :) A lazy moment in the hammock, what a fun time.
What did I say, always smiling. This is at Fort Stevens.

Emma and Sam at Grandma's house. They are both sooooo cute!!!


Emma we love you and we hope you have a great day!!

Fifteen

Today Jacqueline is Fifteen. Where has the time gone? She was so tiny, 6lbs 8oz. I love this picture, she was such a happy baby, so cute!!
This one makes me laugh, she would not stand up she wanted to do it her way, too cute.
Whoops, don't know how to fix this without deleting the whole thing. So she is doubly cute :)

She loved this tree, she was a little monkey.

She makes the cutest witch :)
All of their hours of slaving away in our garden payed off!!

Jackie was the only one daring enough to pick up a crab.

Here she is with her cousin Alyssa, just having a good time on the beach.

She wanted me to post a picture of her broken arm, it was a huge part of her younger years :(
Jacqueline we love you and we hope you have an amazing day!!!

3501

That is the number of pages that miss Emma read in the month of March!!

I take that back she didn't read them she absorbed them:) What can we say, she loves books!!

Shocked

As you all know I work at alot of different dealerships, well we just started working at a dealership that sales the smart car. They have already sold their allotment of these cars for the 2008 model year.

What kind of gas mileage would you want to get before you would strap yourself into an aluminum can and head down the road? 60 mpg? 80 mpg? Would you settle for a measly 40? I am soooo shocked that that is all it gets, and I am shocked that lots of people would buy them.

Ok that is one thing I find shocking, now for my next shocking thing. Meth users just recently ripped up our communities comcast cable hoping to find copper!!! It angers me and shocks me that someone could be that desperate don't get me wrong it also makes me happy that I don't get it, but seriously if some scary dude or dudette comes to a recycler with a bunch of wire, shouldn't there be some way that people have to prove where the wire came from? Or maybe have a waiting period on the money or have to have a drivers license and if there is a record they can't have the cash? Or take a drug test before they fork the money over to them? It is bad enough that we can't get the good decongestants any more and now anything copper needs to be guarded by a gun toting security person, it just makes me wonder whats next with these drug users, good grief!!

Pine Wood Derby

The Young Men in our ward wanted to have a pine wood derby without all of the rules and regulations. They invited any men in the ward that would like to compete to come also. So of course George jumped right in. To begin with they built the mouse trap car, for Tayler. It is pretty cool, they had fun building it. Then George decided to do one, so he took the motor off of his old remote control car and rigged it up to work with a pinewood derby wood block. I didn't get to see the fun, but I know that the Young Men were really noisy that night :) George's car was such a hit that he ran his over and over and then once going up the track backwards. Tayler's car goes by winding up a string on the axel and then the snap from the mouse trap propels it down the track. He did really well also, he did wind it too tight a couple of times and bent the snappy thing, George said in all Tayler was in third place.
