Dayton turned 17 on April 2nd! I can't believe it.. He is getting a new pipe for his 4-wheeler from us and got money from Kim, Melanie, Taylor & Kyler. We made french dips for dinner and had ice cream cake(his fav). I love this boy to pieces:)

We went to Dumont Sand Dunes for Presidents Day! We had a blast! We camped with the Bakers and a few of there friends, Kim and Duane, and Jim and Shaquel. The kids loved playing in the sand, getting snow cones, and of course riding! Kim and I celebrated our birthday there and Sam and Duane surprised us with a cake:) We saw some wrecks that were really scary too. Keaton and Rudy rolled our Razor. They said it was fun:/ I'm glad we didn't have any injuries and we got home all in one peace! We are already planning our next trip:)

Mersadie graduated from the basic program at the Skin Institute on Dec.23rd! She got a 99% on her test. Kirsten (my niece) graduated from the masters program. She is looking for a job:) She is a licensed esthetician. I'm so exicted for these girls. They know so much and they are going to keep us looking young:) Mersadie will start the masters program on Jan. 11th and get done in April. Way to go Mersadie & Kirsten!! :)

FaMiLy PiCs..

Sunday afternnon we went to St. George and has Kim take a few pictures of our family. They turned out pretty good:) Dayton never smiles and hates pictures, so he was a bear! We didn't get one of Keaton alone, but I will:) Thanks Kim for everything!

KeNaDiE'S SuRgErY..

The dreaded after surgery pic:)
In the waiting room..

The worst part!

Being silly:)

Kenadie*Shaylynn

Playing Chicken at the park wasn't such a good idea:/ Kenadie was hanging out with friends on Friday evening when she decided to play chicken. Well.. she fell and landed with her arm straight. She said it hurt, but she was to cool to cry:) Brandt brought her home and her elbow was on the side of her arm! Sam took her to St. George to the emergency room. I stayed home with the other kids. (Plus I can't stand seeing my kids like that) They determined they would have to do surgery on Saturday. They came home and said they would call Saturday morning. We went to the Lee Family Christmas Party from 9-11 that morning and had a blast! Then went to pick up Shaylynn and headed to St. George. They were waiting for her and they were ready to go. Kenadie was nervous, but she didn't cry:) The surgery took about 2 hours. She recovered for a while and we came home. She hasn't went back to school yet, but she is going tomorrow! Oh.. She broke the cap off her elbow and they pinned and wired it back in place. I'm so proud of Kenadie for how brave she was! She is the first one in our family to break something! (That includes Sam and Me) She deserves a brownie button:)
