The Next Nadia? or Mary Lou?

Could she be?
That's what we're hoping... She has been taking Gymnastics for over a year and loves it- if she keeps going the way she is she will start to compete in the fall!!! Her coach is amazing and I love the atmosphere of the gym!!



End of School Class Party

Colben's wild and crazy class!!
It was very bittersweet on the last day of school for many reasons. Some of them being his classmates, his teacher and the school nurse who we have become very good friends with- she is going to a brand new school to help open it!


Ice Cream Party- Colben would NEVER act like these girls (ha ha ha)
Colben and Mrs. Bock- LOVE HER!!!
Not sure how Colben feels about her.. she ran up to him and asked if I would take a picture of them!
Nurse Beck: We love you and will miss you A LOT!!!!

The Next Federer??

Could he be??

It's so fun to watch him practice- he's so good and has such great form and follow through- his coaches are really impressed and keep moving him up to more advanced classes!!
We've got him in a bunch of camps this summer!!

Colben the Cub Scout

Colben the Cub Scout!!!
This was his first day to go to a den meeting. A week later we had our Pinewood Derby but I was out of town and I don't think Ben took pictures :(
Our first Pack Meeting- Colben earned his Bobcat


Moms' get a special pin too (it's nice that they recognize the fact that we're the ones the do the majority of the helping!!)

I helped out this year at one of the booths and it was so fun!!

We bought a package for the season where we can pick several games to attend. These are 2 of the games we've been to so far. For sure we're going to the game against Real Salt Lake!!

Matt & Cherise's Birthday Party

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT & CHERISE!
Our good friends in the ward combined their birthdays and had a big party at their house. They had Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution and board games to play and lots of yummy food!!
Everyone had such a great time!!


I'm sure they're singing a N'Sync song (oh wait, if they were I should be in there too!)

Me and Nellie- she's such a goof, I had no idea she made this silly face!!
shake what your mamma gave you!!!
Some of the ladies headed upstairs to play a little DDR!!!

The beginnings of the best ward band ever!!!
Love me some Danielle!!
The band went through some changes and growth.
And that included adding the Bishop on the bass!!
Evan the wannabe Hair Band guitarist--- he does have a groopie though so that's pretty cool!!

Did I mention that we had such a fun time playing Rock Band that Ben brought it home a couple of days later and our band name is the Mayo Mulisha!! We ROCK!!!
(Colben on drums, Ben on Bass and Alexis the lead singer, Danika on occasion dances)
