Classic Bekah

She wanders out at 12:30am and says, 'I just can't get to sleep! Can I sleep somewhere else?' Ummm, sure you can sleep wherever - but you have been asleep for about 3 hours already.

Karate Tournament

Anna and Kaid have been taking Karate since Christmas. They just had their first tournament. Kaid was pulling some very 'creative' moves - unfortunately they were also illegal. Anna flew under the radar as usual and surprised everyone when she placed 2nd. She also brought her team in 2nd place for the balance game (she earned the most points for her team!)

You can't tell how excited Anna was to win the 'big trophy' In all of her pictures she simply looks tortured. She finally let her excitment show when we were eating celebration ice cream.

Classic Anna

When Anna goes to karate she checks in and the computer shows how many more classes she has until she is eligible to test for her next belt. As she was getting closer to getting her yellow belt she started resisting going - Coming up with all sorts of excuses to not go. I finally weaseled out of her that she was nervous about changing classes. So the next day we went and I showed her that she had 10 more classes before she could get her yellow belt. She looks at me and says all relieved, 'OK. I won't worry about it for 9 more classes.'

What do socks and shooters have in common?

Hmm I seem to be on a riddle thing - anyway. My car! When ever I clean out the car I seem to find a plethora of both...

Quinn is resourceful!

The spring line-up.

We all want our kids to have something they're good at. And we all want to give them opportunities to try things while they are young. I did my best to get them in the same things at the same times... but I have the feeling your not going to be hearing from me much in april and may... On the up side - Craig will be working like every day in April and May so I don't have to think about family dinners that don't take place in a drive through and cup holders in the back seat. Oh yeah and I'm counting my blessings that we named each of our kids with a different first letter so I don't have to actually write out their whole name on the calander. I can just use first initials! The time I'm saving! Jeeesh! Wish me luck!

What do Craig and BYU have in common?

OK so Craig has had a brush with fame. A few nights ago I went to buy the 3rd book in the Twilight Series - fate would have it that the soft back version was out of stock so I sat debating whether or not to buy the hard back version. I decided that because both Craig and I were reading the series it was justifiable to spend the few extra bucks and take the book home that night. Well, the hard back version had a picture of the author - Stephanie Meyer on it... now to answer your question. Craig kept saying, 'she looks really familiar.' What ever - so he did a little research .... apparently when Craig did his time at the Y he dated Stephanie Meyer... if only ... he could be married to a really rich lady - instead of a lady who spends all his riches.
