princess party

Kali had a great time a Belle's birthday party

dancing, making tiara's and choosing a flower to plant.

She was a little nervous at first since she only had met a few of these girls

and she isn't really into princess stuff anymore,

(that was so 2 years ago for her;)

But in the end, she had a fabulous time

and did not want to leave.

She chose a sunflower seed for her plant and I have been amazed at how well it has grown.

Kali does such a good job at remembering to water her sunflower every day.

Williams Party of 3 1/2

We have had a couple fabulous visits from the Williams family.

We visited the Logan Temple.  

I absolutely love how it is up on a hill.

At night time when you are driving down

main street, it is breath taking.

Since it is up on a hill it has a large grassy area in front of the temple

and as a child there is only one thing you want to do

when you see a grassy hill.

grab your friends and...

roll down it.

Several times, until your clothes are good and grass stained.

 Next stop Gossner's, we had to sample the cheese, ice cream and milk.

They really only let you sample the cheese, and milk you have to buy the ice cream.

It is not the

Country Mercantile, but it is pretty tasty stuff.

Last stop Adams Park.

This park is 3 blocks from our house

so we are here ALOT.

 Kids just having a fun time playing together, 

Kali was the mommy and Krew and Jo Jo were her babies.

While I was photography this hot prego momma ...

D-rock and the kiddos explored the wilderness

Jo Jo looked so stinkin cute, as always.

Also while they visited we tried out the local hawaiian spot "Pounders."

It brought back a lot of memories as we listened to Hawaiian music and

ate some ono grinds:)

cousins

My brother Brandon came with two of his boys,
Michael and Jayce in April when we first moved to Logan
 and they had a good time in the snow. 

Kali was so proud of the snowball that Michael helped her roll.  

It got pretty big.

 Brandon and Veronica came out a month later and the scenery had changed a little.

Beautiful weather and dirt play.

The kids have loved being closer to their cousins.

cleats

Guess who gets to wear these bad boys starting June 1st.

The one and only Kali Jones!

We are so excited for her to start t-ball.

She is super fast and has a killer hit.

Aaron was so excited to take her to the store and pick out her very first cleats.

LOVE THEM.

crazy weather

Since we have moved to Logan, we have had the craziest weather.

The last snowfall we have seen was the end of April,

since then it has been either a sunny 75 - 80 degrees

or raining.  It changes daily.

Grandma and Grandpa Wood

The grandparents came into town and took us out to

Texas Roadhouse for Aaron's Birthday/Graduation Dinner.

While grandma was here she played the piano and sang with the kids, read them books,

and Aaron opened his gifts.

 Then we had to show them Kali and Krew's killer hitting abilities.

They really are fun to watch.

I will have to record them.

 We went to the temple and took some fun pictures.

Grandpa decided to wet down his wild hair for the pictures, 

as you can see Krew was not as thrilled with the idea.

 I just LOVE the Logan temple. 

BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the fun little visit!

ice skating

This was Kali's very first time on the ice EVER.

She did an amazing job.

It did not help that she had older girls skating by her, doing tricks, 

she wanted to do what they were doing.

 She was already doing spins her first day.

The instructor told me that Kali has a natural talent.

She said I have been teaching for several years and I can spot raw talent and your daughter has it.

That was fun to hear;)

After listening to Krew complain the whole time about wanting

 to go out on the ice I decided to join the 

Hot Chocolate Club;)

It is every Monday and Wednesday.  

You pay $6.00 for one adult and you can have two children 

come with you for free for 1 1/2 hours.  

It has been so much fun.  

It gives Krew a chance to get use to the ice and gives

 Kali and chance to play around with other kids while getting more comfortable on the ice.

And afterwards you get free hot chocolate!

GOOD TIMES:)
