Lakeland Homecoming

Austin was the Freshman Candidate for Lakelands Homecoming. I spent HOURS looking for a nice outfit for him to wear. On my way home from Springfield I called Austin to tell him that I got him something and he said, "Mom I just wear my uniform" I could have killed him! He still looked good :) The principal asked if Gavin could be the crown bearer. He was not too excited about it. I told him the principal called and asked if he would do it and Gavin just said, Why would I want to do that. I talked it up and told him that he was picked out of the whole kindergarten. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "So". I still made him do it because I had already told the principal he would. He did great and looked so cute, except when he started rolling his eyes because it was taking so long!





Caiden 7th Grade Basketball


Basketball is Caidens favorite sport. He likes to play them ALL but this is his favorite. I think he is a pretty good player and you can tell he LOVES it. He is going to a BYU Basketball camp this summer and is pretty excited.





Austin Basketball Freshman

Austin is really enjoying playing on the High School Jr. Varsity Basketball team. He has grown quite tall and is getting good at being aggressive under the basket. We played Morrisville a week or so ago. We missed seeing Spencer on the team. It would have been fun to see them play each other.

Allen wanted to get her into a tumbling class. She also wants to cheerlead! We are trying to discourage that. Allen said if she is going to cheerlead then she better be the best acrobat out there. Not that we really have to worry much....she is only four years old! But I checked around to the dance companies in Clinton. We found a combination class for preschoolers that offers Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Tumbling all in a 1 1/2 hour class. I was a bit nervous at first, because they don't let you watch, and they make the parents leave, but she didn't care! She absolutely LOVES it and looks forward to it every week. Today when Allen picked her up her teacher told him that she was sorry they got out late. But that it was Makennas fault! She had to show her every trick she knew!

Here are a few pictures from the One observation day that the parents get
