Madeline had a piano recital
She had her pieces memorized, but I guess because everyone else was using their music, she decided to also. She did a fantastic job!
She was able to play on a $170,000 grand piano. It was a beautiful sound!
She also received lots of awards for passing off certain levels throughout the year.
Marion Teh is Maddies teacher. She is truely amazing.
She was a super happy little girl to get so many awards
I am so proud of my little girl. She is so beautiful!
So proud of BOTH of our little girls. We left the little kids at home with a sitter!
Grandpa and Grandma Ray made it for the recital too. It was very sweet of them to come.
Sunday morning brought breakfast at the hotel. I was home asleep and didn't even know they went!
Grandpa and Maddie. The kids think breakfast at a hotel is the greatest!
They are easily pleasured.
We were able to admire Grandma's long hair. I think this is the first time in 10 years of marriage I have seen her hair down. It's beautiful!
Grandma brought a 'loom' for the kids to work on.
She spent lots of time helping Lauren.
Lauren worked really hard on her pot holder.
Mitchell decided it was cold enough to play outside. He bundled himself up and away he went.
Notice the gloves on his feet instead of snow boots.
Mitchell enjoyed oranges for lunch
I enjoyed having an angioma removed from my chest. I got this beauty when I was pregnant with Alexa and it would never go away. I had to have it removed and get stitches. But it was such an eyesore and made me so self conscious, I was happy to see it gone!
We took a quick trip to Utah to say goodbye to Brian, Kristy and Rach and to see Grampa Logie.
During that trip, Mitchy requested we go bowling. So bowling it was!
These are some pretty good little bowlers!
And Lexa was just happy to be with her Grampa
Fancy Schmancy shoes
And this little lady turned 6!!! SIX years old. She had grown up way too fast!
We went swimming at the Bountiful Rec Center
Lexi sported her new two top teeth!
Made some awesome swimming memories!

Climbed the rock wall

We went to JumpTime. Lots of trampolines, bounce houses and monkey bars.

In March, we also spent lots of mornings watching cartoons

Lexa enjoyed a lollipop

Madeline enjoyed participating in her school music program.

Lauren was not interested in the camera. But in this picture, she had just admitted that she can be mean to her sisters and brother. HAHA!
