Down and Derby!

 Our First Pine Wood Derby in Scouts was a lot of fun!  Dan and Brodyn were to build Brody's car together, and also make a cake to be judged the night of the Derby.  Brody was so excited for the event.  Dan was so excited for the event!  It was a big success and fun to watch the cars race and the boys have so much fun!  Brodyn's car got second place, he also won best sportsmanship!

 

Ballet!

 I was able to coax Emmy into taking Ballet again last fall and this spring as well.  She loves ballet once she gets there, but she does get a little tired of it.  I think she has a love/hate relationship with it!  Ballet is not natural and it is not easy it takes concentration, balance, flexibility and strength all at the same time!  I love, love, love Ballet and love watching Emmy enjoy it!  Emmy's Ballet company puts on a few Ballet productions throughout the year.  We went to the Nutcracker last November, and then Emmy begged us to go to Sleeping Beauty, which I hadn't planned on attending.  I was really glad we went I enjoyed it more than the Nutcracker.  We will definitely need to check out their other productions next year!!  The Ballet Center has a fun park outside that we love in fall and spring, when it is finally warm enough to stay outside and play during and after ballet!!

Prayers Were Answered!

 We did not get much snow this winter.  The entire state was worried about water and the lack of it.  We held a fast I think all stakes in Northern Utah fasted for moisture.  It seemed as if Heavenly Father Blessed us instantly with water.  It kept coming, and coming and coming!  We have sufficient snow pack in the mountains, and plenty of water in the valley's!!  I heard spring skiing has been awesome, and if it wasn't for Dan's gimp knee we would have been up enjoying all the snow!  We had "Lake Young Ward" behind our house.  Dan took a picture of it with his phone and sent it into KSL it got the picture of the week!!  What a testimony builder that fast was for us!  We are so very grateful for all this water!!  The girls were so wicked they walked our kitty's out to the deepest part of our monsoon and dropped them, they were teaching them to swim, poor little kittens!!
