Tabitha's 6th Birthday

My Baby turned 6 on April 24th! Where has all the time gone?

She wanted an iCarly cake this year.

She asked for a DS and is using her birthday money to buy some fun games.

She also got an exercise ball from G & G Roundy to play on.

Aggie was banished behind the couch as she loved to open presents and thinks all presents are hers.

Science Fair

Ben and Justin wanted to participate in the school science fair this year so lucky mom got to help them put it together during spring break. We had their friends over the first day of spring break and we did it all. (mean mom made them choose something they could do in one day).

Justin did different types of liquid mixed with jello to see if it would still set.

Ben chose to see what types of things would protect a candy cane being dropped the best. (mom was unwilling to deal with an egg mess).

The Whole World is Singing

Ben got to participate in a choirfest directed by the former Mormon Tabernacle Choir director, Craig Jessop in April. He had a great time!

Spring Dance Recital

The girls had a great dance recital. The theme was High School Musical and had music from all three movies. It was wonderful. My favorite number was the one the girls danced together.

Solo and Ensemble Night

In April, Ben and a friend co wrote a song for solo and ensemble night called "Freakin' Mega Super Awesome." It turned out really great. If I had the skills I would put some of the video on but I don't. Sorry.

Aggie Gone

Tonight our beloved Aggie left this world. She loved to open presents, go for walks, eat, play in the snow, swim in any water she could find, take off out the door for "walk abouts" 'til she decided to come home, chew squeaky toys to death, shed all over your church clothes, give kisses and "love" paws, play fetch, being with her kids, eat some more, sleep, talk like Chewbacca, and just greet and be with people.

Bob and I had just gotten back from a walk with her and as she came in the door she started to seizure. She has had seizures for over a year and did have one that lasted over 3 hours in the fall. She started limping after that episode. The seizure tonight lasted over an hour. Bob and Caleb took her to the Vet. as she was doing things in this episode that she hasn't done before. When they got there she was still seizuring. The Vet gave her something to help her relax and try to stop the seizures, but it didn't work and so we had to put her down. It has and I'm sure it will be for the next few weeks, pretty tough. The kids are taking it really hard. We will miss her.

Spring Break

We went to my dad's cabin in Midway, by Heber. Bob took Thursday and Friday off so we left as soon as the girls got done their dance practice thursday morning. When we got there they still had a lot of snow so Caleb and and Bob had to shovel a path for the car and for us to walk down the hill to the cabin. Someone who had a cabin just below us had a cargo type sled at the top so we borrowed it to help take loads to the cabin. The pictures are of the kids sledding down what is the drive way when there isn't snow. We watched movies, got ice cream, went to a park, went swimming, watched more movies and ate more ice cream. It was great!
