Wasatch Officer Winner...W.O.W.!

You could have knocked me over with a feather when Lauren told me she wanted to try out for cheerleader. This is the girl who wouldn't take gymanastics or dance no matter how hard I tried. But who needed it...she made head cheerleader and saved me a bundle!

Treasure Hunt Surprise

I sent the kids on a treasure hunt; at the end they found empty suitcases waiting to be packed for a trip to DISNEYLAND!

Grandma and Grandpa Shields' 50th!

Paul's parents are serving a mission in the Leeds, England mission in South Shields, England. We had a private toast to celebrate. Happy Anniversary Marlin and Claudia!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Looks like the party is at our house!

New Bedroom Anyone?

For Christmas everyone got a new bedroom. The boys and Sarah moved downstairs and we now have a study and Lauren on the main floor. Lauren and Sarah are most excited to finally have their own rooms. Santa set a record for the most time spent in one house on Christmas Eve. The kids all slept upstairs in Mom and Dad's bedroom and Santa took a good nap Christmas afternoon.
