Birthday and Painting

We celebrated Samantha's birthday this weekend. Since Samantha likes the web game VMK I did a cake from that. She seemed to like it. We also started some painting projects. We started with the Family Room.

Here is color of the Family Room before the painting-ignore me in the Hula skirt.

Here is the Family Room after the painting-

This is where we had to store everthing during the painting- the kids had fun making a fort, under the rugs and couches.

Samantha is 11 today!!!

Today Samantha is 11 years old. We are so happy to have her in our family. We love you Samantha

Weekend in Utah!

We went to Utah this past weekend to participate in the baptism of Preston and the blessing of Eli Alan Bagley. We had a wonderful time, the cousins enjoyed seeing each other. We went to the dinosaur museum and BYU campus. Rachel thanks for having us over at your home.

Thanks Donna for the info on linking the names to blogs!

Fixing the clubhouse.

After the kids went swimming, they decided to fix the clubhouse. Samantha wanted to clean the clubhouse dishes,strange huh,Samantha says that she cleaned them three days earlier. They all seemed to be having fun on a beautiful day.

Swimming fun!

The kids had fun going swimming during Memorial Day, they said the pool was really cold but it did not stop them from having fun!

Jessica's Band Trip

Jessica's band was in a competition this weekend. The fee for the competiton included admission to Silverwood,a theme park close by. I went with Jessica, we had a good time.

Band concert

We just got back from a band concert at Carmichael Middle school. Jessica is in the band and she plays percussion-drums,marimba,cymbals, bells and many other instruments. Jessica is the third one from the right, standing in the back. She did a great job. This was her last band concert at the school. No band for her next year, she is happy just playing the piano and I am fine with that. This weekend I will accompany the band as they travel to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to play in a festival. I will take pics!
