I'm Six!


Emma was so excited for her birthday. She counted sleeps for over a week. She even tried to speed it up by counting 2 sleeps at a time. Funny girl!!
For her party, she wanted to go to a movie like we did last year. I was totally on board with that...it made my life easy! A good time was had by all and another birthday success!!

Out of the Mouth of Babes!

So, tonight we are all sitting at the table eating dinner when the subject of being skinny came up...don't know why. Anyway, Emma pipes up and says the funniest thing. We were all in tears laughing!
The conversation went something like this...
Emma says; "My tummy is skinny, Kelti is skinny, you (pointing at me) are getting skinny, Mitchell is fat (looked at him) no you skinny. And Daddy...(covers her mouth with both hands and says) Uhh!, I'm not gonna say it!!"
Needless to say, we all cracked up. Kelti and Mitchell had tears rolling down their faces! That Emma, she's a cutie. Ya gotta love her! :)

Cross Country

This past spring, Kelti decided to give track and try. Despite the constant problem with shin splints, she really enjoyed it. So with the opening of the new High School and the desire to get involved in something while in High School, she took up Cross Country running. She has grown to love running and being part of the team. The coaches are great and the kids love them. Again she was plagued with shin splints that have hindered her season, but she has done well. Then yesterday, the latest thing to effect her season is being diagnosed with mono. This unfortunately has put an end to her running for a while. The worst part is it is the week before the Regional Championships. Very disappointing for her. My gut tells me not to let her run it, but my heart wants to tell her to go ahead, what harm could one more race do!? We will have to see what the Doctor and Coach say.
Yesterday was her race against the rival team, Lehi High. It was here on home turf, so it was fun to watch and support the team. Kelti had a good run and her BIGGEST FANS came to support her! Thanks Monica, Matthew & Cassidy!!

Instructions at the starting line.

Coming into the finish!!
