Random pictures from my phone....

I dont know about any of you but I tend to take 90% of my pictures these days with my phone instead of camera. So my phone has like 900 pictures on it. I decided to take the time and go through them and share some of my favs :)






Yes I am in big trouble with this one....




Mama doesn't pay attention for a minute and Big Sis does a make over

Watching brother wrestle after dance class :)



So proud of the mess she made







Daddy we are waiting for you to get home...sorry we are just kind of a nakie group of girls :) Daddy hates it

Gracie is now a MINI ELITE

This week was tryout week and boy was it stressful. Gracie is just barely 4 years old and for her to learn a 1 minute routine in 2 days and then have to tryout with it...it was a little rough. Not for her but for the mama :) She did so awesome though and practiced everyday and wanted to stretch and practice. She really has become in love with dance. So considering Grace was so little to begin with I thought for sure she would stay on the Tiny's. Nope, she was moved up to the Mini's... This morning we woke up to our door decorated and I was blown away. She was excited about the door being decorated but she doesn't realize the team she was put on. I am so proud of her. This has been such an awesome experience for her to grow and have something to work towards and all the great friendships she has made.


Way to go GRACIE!







Dance Swim Party and BBQ

They gave some of the girls awards...so Gracie got the award "I think I can, I think I can" Because she is so much younger than all the girls on her team and was always one step behind but trying so hard. She was like the the teams little Kaboose :)






Sis had no fear as long as brother was there jumping off the diving board with her~





Fishin and Froggin with the Arnolds

We know how to show our friends a good time even if we live out in the boones :) Nothing like catching some fish and some huge bullfrogs :)














Baby Faith

I never write about my sweet baby girl for one because she is such a good girl and just goes with the flow, so I tend to forget about her. For two because we have been so busy with dance and wrestling. She is 10 months old now and I cant even believe that I am starting to plan her first birthday. YIKES!


She crawls perfectly and so fast. She is so curious and just crawls to find her sister all over the house. She has 4 huge teeth that all came in at the same time. Poor Girl. The top front are so far apart so we have been calling her spongebob :) The other night I came in my room to find her sleeping next to my desk. She just decided to put herself to bed. She loves going swimming and mainly just loves being right next to her sister 24-7. She LOVES her dada...she gets the biggest smile on her face when he walks in the door. They are little buddies for sure. Makes sense since she looks just like him :()



After a long day at the pool :)

Dance Sensations Wizard OF OZ part 1



This is our studio's production this year and so it is LONG! Gracie is a Munchican, so not the flowers but the younger group after the flowers. She is in the front far right again :)

Dance Sensations Tinys



Gracie is in the front row on the far right. Yes she is the one that gets lost on finding her spot in the beginning and the one who gets left behind in the train at the end :) It was her first competition :)

Year End Review!

What an awesome season this girl had. The beginning started a little rough, she definitely wasn't used to that much make-up. No matter what fuss we had over make-up once she got on the stage she was as happy as could be. She seriously danced her little heart out at this last performance. All she ever tells me is she cant wait to get back out there. I have enjoyed it so much more the last few times as well because there is zero fight with the hair and make-up :) Her uncle Adam got a ton of great pictures, so when he sends them over I will post them. She has tryouts everyday this next week and then a 4th of July performance and summer technique classes in July. So she by far isn't done for the summer but done with "Mr. Postman" Which makes me so sad :(

She is my little star and I love this sassy little thing with all my heart!



Gracie's little boyfriend came to watch her dance. He is so handsome...seriously the best part was after he saw Gracie when he got there he leaned over to his mom and said "mom we forgot to do my hair!" I was dying of laughter...he barely has any hair!








Utah Summer Games....Cedar City

We took Kelton down for Summer Games in Cedar City for wrestling. The tournment wasn't as big as we thought it would be due to everyone being at Western Regionals in Idaho this same weekend. So in Freestyle there wasn't any kids in his weight brackett, but he still wrestled 3 kids that were older than him. He got a first place medal because he was the only one in his brackett. He did have a full brackett for Folkstyle and took 2nd place!



We had so much fun with Granma and Grandpa at the hotel and swimming. Kelton and I played a ton of the game "Guess Who," oh my heck I loved that when I was a kid so Kelt and I were addicted. Wrestling is over now until the fall so that was a great ending to a great season!









Riding her brother~ he is so good with her....most of the time :)








Such a cute little face she has :)


The boys thought it was quite funny to wake up and see us girls sleeping like this. Um lets just say it was a rough night for us 3 :(
