Swimming Fun

Lots of swim days in this NV heat!

Swimming at Sandy's pool has been so fun!

 This little pool has been a lifesaver!

 Walt went down the big water slide at Wet n' Wild.

It's Hanna's favorite slide.

A swim day with friends is always a treat, 

even if there are almost 20 kids around.

Circus Fun

We had a lot of fun taking the kids to their first Circus Show (Hanna was at Choir Camp). It was fun watching the very talented people.

Besties

My friend Amber and I got to have a short girls weekend together! 

We ate good food, shopped, saw a movie, shopped some more and stayed the night in a hotel.

It was a gift from her husband for Mother's Day and we had a great time!

Amber and I have gotten so close this past year in Pahrump and 

I'm really going to miss her when I'm gone!

 I'm also going to miss this fun "Sweet Reads" group!

Vegas is not too far though so we will for sure keep in touch!

Bowling

Took these three bowling, it was a close game!

Bowling shoes on kids are so cute!

Summer Time

It's summer; which means it's hot here in NV and all we can do to keep cool is get wet!

We will be spending most of the summer at Wet n' Wild! 

Clark loves this slide, he probably went down it over 30 times last time we were there!

While at home we will cool off in this little life saver of a pool!

The kids were in it at 7:30am the other day!

Diamond Kid Triathlon

Love this picture of Max and Hanna!

So proud of these kids for pushing themselves hard!

Max, Hanna and Van swam 50 yards, biked 2 miles and ran 1/2 a mile!

Danny did the parent assist with Walt. 

Walt did everything on his own just got to do it next to his dad. 

Walt did the 50 yard swim, 1 mile bike and 1/2 mile run.

Daisy ran in the fun run which was 1/2 a mile. 

I was shocked that she ran the hole way!

They all did excellent!

 Kissing their medals!

Davis and Hanna

 Hafen always has a great end of year Field Day celebration!

This was our last year at Hafen Elementary School we will be moving back to Vegas this August.

Girl's Weekend

Carolee, Laura, Alicia and I got together for a girl's weekend in Park City, UT! 

It had been 8 years since we've all been together (bummed Hanna couldn't make it).

We got to stay in a super nice condo, ate good food, went down the Alpine slides and coaster, 

enjoyed late night talks in the hot tub, shopped and visited Temple Square! 

Hoping to get together yearly for now on, eight years was way too long!

We had a blast!

Guitar

Max and Hanna had another successful year of guitar with Grandma Susan!

Pahrump Valley Preschool

Pahrump Valley Preschool comes to an end! 

After 5 years, I'm done teaching in Pahrump.
We plan on moving back to Las Vegas this August.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you!

Happy Birthday to Us!

Best birthday gift I have ever received was the gift I always dreamed of, my own baby to hold and to love! Can't believe my baby turned 11 years old today! He is growing way too fast! He grew 4 inches just this last year and went from size 12 jeans to 18 because of his long legs. He is one big softy just like my big brother Kurt! We love you Max and are so blessed to have you in our family!

And I turned 36! Pretty CRAZY!

Arrow of Light

So proud of Max! He received his Webelo Badge, Arrow of Light (which is the highest award in Cub Scouts) and his compass point. We are so proud of you Max! Keep up the great work!

Knott's Berry Farm

 During Spring Break we went to Knott's Berry Farm with my old mission companion,

Chanelle and her cute family (the Neilson's).

The kids played so well together. We all had such a wonderful time!

The kids look so much alike you would think they were related.
