It was Quincee's turn to take to the stage. She was Cathy in High School Musical. What?! You don't know which one Cathy is?! Neither did we until we saw the play.
Quincee got to let her true "ham" shine as she sang off-key (on purpose) and got laughs doing it. We didn't get any video and no pictures of the actual show- poor parenting. But I'm sharing what I got. Just like Quincee did!
My sweet Uncle Lowell passed away this March. He was 82 years old and lost his long battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed by so many. I have tons of fond memories of him. He was never without a tan, handsome, and alway greeted me with a kiss and big bear hug. He oozed love, patience, and kindness.
I was lucky enough to be able to attend his beautiful funeral in St. George. It is the only upside of this kind of gathering- getting to see and reconnect with family. I love my cousins and am lucky to have such a big, fun family.
This is my uncle's wife and their five children.
Some sistas. Becca and Ali.
My bros. Jon was there but missed the photo op.
Me and the mom.
And my sassy niece Cassy
After the funeral, my bro James and I talked all the way to the strip in Las Vegas, where he dropped me off for a beautiful wedding. If you want to feel old I highly recommend attending the wedding of a kid you used to babysit. It was awesome!
Little did we know what we were getting into with comp volleyball. Our Saturday's are spent courtside (um- is it called a court?) and our butts are sore from a day of sitting on them. But we love watching Cam do something she loves.
For now. :)
Check back in June!
Thanks to all the leaders of our country past, we enjoyed a day skiing with the girls on President's Day. Sad to say it was our first ski day of the season, but with so little snow in Tahoe, we haven't been too excited to hit the slopes. When dad takes a day off, skiing seems like a perfect outing.
See the attempt to get my 3 girls to line up next to each other while on skis!
It was Sutton's first time on skis, so we signed her up for ski school. It was a colossal waste of money! And poor Sutton was traumatized. Bad idea!!! But she looked super cute, so thats got to count for something!
Poor baby- this is what she looked like when I came to get her after I got the call to pick her up early.
Sutton and her buddy Andrew got creative eating their ramen noodles.
These two are best buddies and have lots of fun together. The especially love taking Cocoa Carrot for a walk on her leash. Yep- you read that correctly.
Camden wants to be a volleyball star. Ok- not really. She mainly just wants to make all of her serves over.
She is playing on a club team, Sierra Gold, which means twice a week practices and tournaments that last all day on Saturday. She is loving it!
Taitum's fourth tooth was to the ugly, nasty stage just hanging from her gums. She has been so eager in the past to let me pull her teeth early that I might have scarred her with some pain. She was not eager this time and had to be threatened (she couldn't be bought) into it.
Best part, when Sutton saw the floss tied around her tooth she came up and said "When I grow up I want to be a dentist. I should pull her tooth." I completely agreed. Taitum did not!
Taitum was a semi- good sport, but she really didn't want anyone pulling on her tooth. We had two people video-ing the whole thing. But when Sutton got her patient a sip of water, and when that patient started choking on said water, videos stopped, and I saw my chance.
In between all the choking and confusion, I grabbed those string and pulled. Pop! The tooth was out! Hurrah!
