Ashley Graduated 3rd Grade!

Alas, Ashley graduated from yet another year of school... every time she does i get older and older. This was one of her favorite years, she loved her teacher Mr. Delgado, she got to go to "Valley Days", and learned about her mom's favorite subject- the solar system.

Here are some of the highlights of the year:

Her ancestry doll (thank you Grandma Stone for all your help!)

Her report on Johnny Appleseed

Self portrait

And last but not least... her science project. A board game about the solar system. It had facts about all the planets and then you got to move your piece (a rock- Calin so kindly offered from his "fancy rocks" collection) the number of places that planet is from the sun. It is actually quite fun to play!

My Utah Trip

I got to hitch a ride with my parents and my sister Crystal to Utah. I stayed with the Berry Family. We had a great time!

We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. They had every color imaginable... and churros! what is a festival without churros???

On the way through Reno we stopped for breakfast at the Black Bear Diner and ordered a bear claw pastry and this is what they gave us! Holy Moly! and it was way yummy too!


The 2nd day we were there we got to watch Star run a 1/2 marathon- 13.1 miles doesn't seem like 1/2 of anything.... that's a LONG run... no breaks... no switching into a car... all in a row! She did it in 1 hour 58 minutes, my sister ROCKS!

I love my sisters!

the longest i ever stopped in Nevada...

This past Thursday was the longest I ever have stopped in Nevada. Usually its just a gas refill and potty break, maybe some Taco Bell... But this Thursday on the way home from Utah my parents, Crystal, and I were involved in a

TRIPLE CAR PILEUP!!!!

It was scary but very interesting to see how my family and myself handled this extreme situation (turns out my mom can patch up other people's head wounds not just her daughters', and Crystal and I ... i'll just say it... we got to play with flares! It was one of the scariest moments of my life and i am grateful that we got out of it with just a wrecked car and some cuts and bruises.

I've posted the car wreck pictures that i took with my celphone on my photo webpage

Our Easter Makeovers

Our Easter Makeovers

Roxy's Before Picture

Roxy is definitely ready for Easter!

Chu-wee's Before Picture


After
CJ chose to have Chu-wee be blue because it is a boy color...


Most girls choose nail polish to match their clothes... i did it to match my skin!
Getting a doggie to sit still in the bathtub for 20 minutes after i brushed the color on is hard work! I was constantly trying to keep them from jumping out and cuddling them so that they would stay in the tub (and yes i was wearing gloves and a plastic clothes cover and i still ended up with blue and magenta dye all over me!)

CJ's new lucky sweat bands

CJ got some new sweat bands (you gotta love target's $1 section!) and wore them to his basketball game and not only did they "Help me run faster"- CJ, they also helped him make 3 baskets!

CJ made a basket!

We told CJ that if he made a basket during today's game we would give him $5, and he did! He was awesome!

Kids are like cells...

They multiply like crazy! I started off with inviting 2 kids over for a play date after school and they miraculously multiplied. By dinner time we had 9! All the kids got to make their own little pizzas. They had to roll out the dough and put on all their favorite toppings. They were so yummy! We also had apples, oranges, and ants-on-a-log (celery, peanut butter, and raisins). We watched the new movie Planet 51- I highly recommend it, it was hilarious!
