{It's About Time...}

I know, I know...it's about time you heard from us; but it's been one of those years of Life!! No new babies; just busy with our babies-and since ours is almost five and the last post is when she turned four, I figured I better hurry and catch you up on her brothers first.

January- Ashtyn turned four as you've been reading about all year now (sorry about the stretch of time in between; but for those of you on facebook, it's just easier to post pics and not have to write about them:) Oh yeah, and this was Jantz's year in 3rd grade where they have book reports EVERY month...it was wax museum this month so of course we were busy dressing him up as David Beckham (yes, notice his awesome shirt that mom made with vinyl!!). He rocked in futsol too!! Ashtyn started her first dance class with Teacher Candice (our next door neighbor). She now wants to dress for dance every hour, every day!

February- We celebrated Nath's birthday and ran kids to basketball practice & games. Ashtyn decides to cut her hair, again, and we're back to a short hairdo!

March- blah! Always the longest month of the school year for teachers. No breaks, and inside recess. We did get to celebrate Kalei's 2nd birthday (Ashtyn's "sister") with her. These 2 girls are inseparable and she is one of our family!!

April- My favorite sister got married!! We traveled to North Carolina for her beautiful wedding in the Blue Ridge mountains. That was fun being home in the spring and seeing everyone; and getting some good cookin's! Did I mention that Ashtyn got to be her flower girl...she did great! We got to head up to Grandfather Mountain and spend some time with my sis and her new hubbie Kevin at the end!

Here's the family picture updated...luckily Randy proposed to Stephanie after; and well, maybe Brian will propose to Claire??

May- TONS more outdoor soccer but Jantz is playing more offense and doing great, Hope of America at BYU with Hayden but it was more for the social event for him to be there, dance recital for Ashtyn (who's wiggles made her the star of her dinosaur dance), and then many tears on the last day of school as I lost my best teaching partner/sister of many years. If I say much more, I'll not finish the post and end up in tears again (yeah, after this long, still missing Sydney!) Bye, bye, bye...I really have worked with some great teachers and miss them all; but Syd was always good to stay behind with me. I'm so happy she gets to be home with her girls though; and I can be here to keep everyone informed on the gossip I guess!
