The funniest kid in Utah

Matthew tried out in the Funniest Kid in Utah contest at the state fair. His acting was impromptu. I was impressed by his courage to get up in front of an audience. He shared some funny lines he has memorized from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. The contest as you can see was sponsored by The Greatest Show on Earth. Matthew was the BEST- even though the judges didn't agree. We love Matthew!

Markus day dreaming

Markus tried out an electric guitar after his piano recital at the music store. Markus is taking non-electric guitar lessons in junior high. He thought it would be fun and cool until he had to practice. His fingers hurt and he can't play like a rock star yet. Markus seems to like junior high!

Markus Turns 12

NOW I KNOW WHY I NEVER BLOG! My kids are falling apart... the neighbor kids are tatteling, markus and matthew are fighting ove the pizza, Bryant and his friend supposedly colored on the club house table0-now they want to cross the street to Tylans house, Markus is angry because all I do is blog and nobody ever gets in trouble..... and I'm such a computer handicap !!!!!!!!!!!!! I have written this blog 3 times and it still hasn't posted. At first it was cute and sweet.. Now I'll get to the point Markus is going in to 7th grade. He had a birthday complete with a home made breakfast, no chores, lunch at JCW's, school clothes shopping, apple sauce cake, the video of the day he was born, and a family basketball game at the Legacy Center.

Bry Bry and Benjamin


WE LOVE BENJAMIN AND BRYANT! Benjamin is turning 7 in July and has already planned his birthday party. He wants to have an ipod party. He plans to play freeze dance, have the kids write their own song and mom give them awards for their song writing talents, and other games with music as the theme. He also wants chocolate cake and of course- an ipod! Benjamin loves poke'mon, his running club at school, and his favorite animal is a penguin.
Bryant likes playing with Lincoln Logs he builds barns, fences, and bridges for hours. He spends most of his days running bank and forth between his two best friends homes Gobby (Kaden) and Tylan. Today he is looking forward to hosting play group at our house. Bryant goes to Kid Fit at the Legacy Center twice a week. He likes playing on the scooters there and he just learned to bump a volley ball. Bryant also loves to create art projects such as homemade kites, piggy banks, people, spider webs, etc. We go through lots of paper plates, dental floss and tape with his projects.
