Happy Birthday Elder Siswick

We have been celebrating a lot of birthdays around here lately which means I have been able to make some cute cakes.  One of the Elders that we absolutely love had a birthday so we surprised him with a Soccer Cake or should I say Futbol since he is from England.  He was so surprised an couldn't believe that I had made that for him.  Elder Siswick is amazing and teaches the best lessons.  He brings such a great spirit into our home.  We love to laugh a lot and here stories about him back home.  

Cousin Fun

We were able to celebrate our cousin Sydney's birthday with her at her pool party.  It was so much fun being with the cousins.  She requested Cinderella Cupcakes.  I had a lot of fun making them.  Happy Birthday!

Reading

I was busy making dinner one night when I noticed Roderick was reading in such a unusual way!!

Gymnastics

When we moved we put the girls into gymnastics.  They LOVE going to gymnastics.  It doesn't matter where we are and what we are doing they are always doing tricks.  Our home has turned into a gym.  It is so fun to watch them.  I am just waiting for an injury.  They have learned how to do a lot of tricks and moves so far.

Happy Birthday!

We had such a great time celebrating Rodrigo's birthday this year.  Over the weekend we went to this amazing Mexican Restaurant.  They had a live Mariachi Band that played while we ate and the food was so yummy.  The kids decorated the house to surprise Rodrigo when he came home from work.  They did such a great job.  The Elders also were here to celebrate with us.  We love them.  I decided to make a camping cake.  Rodrigo LOVES to camp.

Play Group at Krispy Kreme's

Wednesday our playgroup went to Krispy Kreme's for a tour.  It was fun and the kids really seemed to enjoy it.  I think I did as well watching the doughnuts go threw that delicious glaze.  We even took Rodrigo and the kids back later that night to show them what we experienced.  We stopped at the mall afterwards and let the kids play in the little play place they have.  Here is Duncan and Maya doing the KSL Channel 5 news.  What a fun day.

Fun in the Sun

Last Sunday was a gorgeous day!  Finally the weather we have been waiting for.  We had so much fun playing outside most of the day.  We got in a few soccer games, a few games of flush and horse (I haven't played those games since I was younger) and we got in some T Ball lessons with Lexi since she will be starting here in about a month.  Lets just say my 8 year old defeated me for the day in everything we did.  I even got the bright idea to take my dad for a stroll in the wheelchair so he could catch some rays himself.  We went on a little walk while the kids had fun on there bikes and scooters.  It was so great spending some much needed family time.
