Spring in Wyoming

The official day of spring has come and gone and it is typical Wyoming weather. Over the weekend we had 70 degrees on Sat. and 65 Degrees on Sunday. With that we went for a walk or roller blading (Mikaela) down by the river with the dogs. Then to wake of on Monday morning to a snow blizzard. Schools were shut down at noon and mom was sent home from work do to the roads. We are all home now wrapped in a blanket watching our all time favorite show Anne of Green Gables. Not sure if we will even have school tomorrow as it is still snowing.

Ken is Nevada this week on a golfing adventure. He was expected to return home late this evening....well this wont happen do to all roads coming into Casper in all directions are shut down.

All 3 girls brought home straight A's on report cards for 3rd quarter....you girls are the BEST!

First set of pictures are weekend by the river....second set is less then 24 hours later.

Little Tennis

As the warmer weather arrives the girls dragged me out to the park to play a little tennis. This was a few weekends ago. They had so much fun and totally clueless on how to play. At least they tried and got out of the house. In the meantime, I watched and coaches:) then walked the dogs in the park. Everyone is awaiting the spring!

Happy Birthday Liz

Liz turned 14 on Friday. (mom we did stay home with her:)... She got roses delivered to school from mom and dad and candy from a very good friend. We had family night with a friend on Friday and then had more friends and festivities on Saturday. What a weekend.

Saturday started with going and having a pedicure done with just the girls. Then it was off to Old Chicago for dinner. Ken taught them how to play pool and guzzle shirley temple drinks. Then it was off to the mall for a scavenger hunt. Where we had all kinds of fun and life lessons learned all in one evening. Then it was off to the house of a night full of movies. Still not sure what time they went to bed....I was asleep by 11pm:)

I can say that in the past 14 years Liz has accomplished so many wonderful things....as well turned into a beautiful young lady. I am not sure how Ken and I became so blessed but I only hope the next 14 years are as blissful as the first 14. God has done us good!!!

Cake: Liz was determined she was going to have a big bird birthday cake....so as always daddy does not let her little girl go without. He personaly hand created the cake below.

Cross Country Awards

Xenia finished cross country skiing and had award assembly this past week. She recieved a "letter". The coaches made a frame for her with the team picture, indian paintbrush weed, her letter, and a wyoming license plate in it. It was an awesome gift and she did great.

Mikaela's School Picture

During teacher conferences the only concern that came up was how easily stressed Mikaela becomes and how hard she is on herself. Okay so how do you get two kids with this type of personality????? Oh yah they take after their mother (who said this was a good thing). Anyway, she is a star student and turning into a beautiful one too.

Hard copies of pics will come out soon...we have not recieved Liz's yet.
