Day 120

This is one of the many reasons I love having Keaton in my house! So many fun surprises:)

Day 119

Today was Keaton's soccer teams last season game.  They have steadily gotten better throughout the season, and they have won their last two games 7-0!  Nice job Keaton, and Kevin who coached.  Hopefully they make it into the tournament! Kevin and I got the boys all a gold medal for their hard work throughout the season.  For future reference we ordered them from Epic Sports online.

Day 118

This is what I call visiting teaching! Thanks Deon:)

Day 117

I am so glad that I took this picture when I did, because last night we had the worst wind storm that has completely destroyed my beautiful tulips:(

Day 116

Every time we come home from the library, we drive by some of the cutest old houses.  There is at least 4 of these old houses along this road that have such character intermixed with homes built in the 70's with absolutely NO personality.  This old house has a marker out in front designating that it is an antique home that tells us that the rocks that form the foundation come from the same quarry that the Salt Lake temple's granite comes from.

Day 115

While Shelly was in town, we went to the new mall in Salt Lake called City Creek.  It is directly right across the street from the temple.  It is absolutely beautiful with fountains, streams and flowers.

Day 114

I took some pictures of my great smelling flowering trees this morning. I have already posted a picture of my great smelling fruitless apple tree, but this picture shows the type of snow that I actually enjoy! The trees pictured are: Canadian Red Cherry, Weeping Redbud, and a fruitless Crabapple.

Day 113

Tonight we finished watching the series Alias. We have really enjoyed watching this as a family, and have had a blast watching Sydney Bristow kick and punch her way through 5 seasons!

Day 112

Today was an absolutely beautiful day! The day started with Keaton's game which Grandpa and Grandma Robins came to watch, the first mow of the season, and Keaton and Luke playing in our "pool"! This weather just makes me happy! :)

Day 111

Today Kevin and I attended Ryan's graduation from BYU with a masters degree in Accounting. I remember picking him up at his house in Ymount terrace when he was just a little guy to take him to buy ice cream from McDonalds. Ryan we are proud of you:) Here he is with his parents and his wife Heather and their baby Austin:)

Day 110

GABRIELLE GOT HER BRACES OF TODAY!! She is just mildly excited! In honor of this momentous occasion her orthodontist gave her a caramel apple, and we had corn on the cob! The photos from the bottom to top are before, during and after!

Day 109

We came across this beautiful tree at Fashion Place Mall on our way to the Cheesecake Factory. Our "italian Grandma" Suzi's grandson was working there, and sent this beautiful Lemoncello cake home with us to deliver to her. It is as amazing as it looks!

Day 108

We have LOVED having Mrs. Pendleton as Keaton's 3rd grade teacher this year. She has made such a difference in Keaton's school experience, and has given us hope that great teachers still exist. She has loved Keaton, and shown his much patience along with that love. Keaton loves going to school, and I credit his teacher for that. Before the end of the year, we wanted to buy her a gift to express how much we appreciate her. Hope she likes it!

Day 107

This is my newest purchase from the Indian store in St. George. The middle stone is Spiny Coral, and the surrounding stones are all different types of stones. I love it!

Day 106

Since I am posting pictures of my spring flowering trees in bloom, I can't forget my most favorite tree in my yard. It is some kind of fruitless apple, and it smells delish! You can hear the bees buzzing by just standing next to it.

Day 105

My pear trees in my back yard are finally in bloom. I wish they smelled as good as they looked!

Day 104

Yesterday when I checked the mail, I found my new passport. Less than three weeks makes me so glad that I didn't pay to expedite it:) Now let's plan a trip!

Day 103

We left St. George today so that we would be home for Bethany's wedding this evening. I took this shot of the red mountains as we left Ivins. The wedding was beautiful, and Bethany looked gorgeous! Congratulations Bethany and Howard:)

Day 102

My dad gave my kids each $50 to spend while shopping. Keaton knew exactly what he wanted. A remote control car:)

Day 101

We love our Grandma!

Day 100

For spring break, we headed to St. George to visit Grandma and Grandpa. After dinner, we headed to the park, and Keaton kicked his ball into a tree. It was the comedy of errors trying to get the ball out of the tree!
