Alyssa's Dance Recital! Alyssa danced for Story and Barton School of Dance this year. She took 5 classes. She has been a busy dancer. For the Recital Alyssa was in 7 dances + the finale. She danced 2 ballet pieces, 1 point (her first year doing this), 1 tap, 1 modern, 1 character, and 1 jazz. I was only able to take a couple pics back stage before the performance, but I do plan on getting a pic of her in a few of her costumes.. and we are supposed to be getting a video.. hopefully I can put one of the dances on the blog when I do. I am very proud of all her hard work. She is a graceful and beautiful dancer.

Grandma Marilyn came out to visit and boy did we keep her busy.. Besides our normal crazy schedule of kids activities, a little shopping, watching tv, and making cards...We had a Pampered Chef Party, Went to a Ward Activity, Women's Conference, Logan's Birthday Party, Logan's Baptism, a School Fieldtrip with Logan's Class to the Sam Noble Museum, a School Fieldtrip with Madelyn's class to the Braum's Dairy, (We got free Ice Cream, YUMMY!!!) Alyssa's Dance Recital, Riley and Logan's Spring Concert at school, a Mother Daughter YW activity and then the two of us helped prepare and serve lunch at a Missionary Zone meeting, I hope she wasn't bored while she was here!! And she managed to sneak away with only getting her picture taken once. We sure had fun having her here!!

Logan was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, on April 26, 2009. His Grandma Marilyn, Aunt Jenni, Aunt Marcianne, Uncle Andy, and cousins Marc, David, Alena, Kerra, Gabriel and Joshua came to help the family celebrate.

Logan's Birthday Party!! We had Logan's birthday party at a park in Lawton. It was very windy, but we were lucky it didnt rain. Family and friends came out to help us celebrate. It was a relaxing party just hanging out, playing, and having fun.

Happy Birthday Logan!! My baby turned 8, April 20th.. I cant believe it. We are waiting to celebrate his birthday on Sat. the 26th. Sad dad had duty tonight, but Logan's aunt Jennilee and his cousins Gabriel and Joshua flew in today to visit.

Happy Easter!! We had a very quiet Easter this year... We went to church, and then had a nice family dinner just the 6 of us. The Easter Bunnies true Identity has been revealed, so... The kids had fun hiding and finding their own eggs.. We had lots of rain Easter weekend.. so the ground was wet.. which puts a cramp in my picture taking... and the kids came in wet and muddy after hunting for eggs. We missed spending Easter with our family back home!!
