Happy Birthday Jake!

We celebrated Jake's birthday last week. Nana and Gramps came over for dinner and brought Jake's favorite dessert. It sure was fun!

Eating Outside

We love the nice days when we can eat outside. This is a common site at our house, when it's warm enough! This day Shalise got freaked out by the bees though, so she went and ate inside...

I can't read!

The other day Shalise was looking at a book and getting very annoyed and frustrated. When I finally asked her what the problem was, she throws her hands in the air and yells, "I can't read!". So funny, I could not stop laughing...

Sunny St George

So we are back from our trip to Sunny St George and are definitely missing it already! It was such nice weather we had so much fun! We had bike rides, went to parks, went swimming, had picnics and just enjoyed being out in the sun! Here are some pictures and now we are all anxious for Spring!!

Jeremy Evans from the Utah Jazz

As part of the Jazz Reading, another reward for reading is that the top 10 Schools in Utah get to have a Jazz Player come to the school. We made the Top 10 Schools so today Jeremy Evans came to Carson's school. He read a couple books to the kids, answered some questions and did a slam dunk for the kids. I also got to take a picture of him with Carson and as he was leaving he asked Carson to come over and start his Camaro for him. It's a key that you push and it turns the car on, Carson thought it was pretty awesome, so it was a really fun day!

And here is my Jazz Reading wall at the School where we tracked all the students class minutes and everthing:

Sumo Wrestling

As most of you know, the last month or so I have been in charge of the Jazz Reading program at Carson's school. I was in charge of tracking minutes, awarding prizes and motivating the kids to read. They did awesome this year and got lots of fun prizes/awards. The prize they got for reaching their school goal is that they got to watch faculty members do Sumo Wrestling! It was so funny, I could not stop laughing and the kids were flipping out! Here are some pictures:
