Devin at the Jr. High track meet as you can see I have been very busy after going to Germany and to Denver for 3 weeks in April now I am back helping with track and soccer meets for everyone.  The girls have the music and daning to show off for the end of the year.

We had to go and get the pictures done today for the dance group that Emma is in they are cute and the girls looked great.

Here we are in Disneyland and what fun we had all week with Cooper he loved it.

If I can watch my grand kids do all their activities the next years of my life, I will think that I will be happy.   It does not take much to make grandmothers on top of the world.  I love to be there with the dancers and soccer player, and the piano and basketball.  We start soccer soon I will have a lot of teams to be at games.  I will have to finish up watching the dancers and a lot of school plays now.

 Emma performed at a competion at Thanks Giving Point on Sat. she looked beautiful.

We went to the American Dance Competion Saturday Emma and her class did to pieces and all looked beautiful, afterwards the Girls and Shad and I went to Braydens last basketball game and he was so good the girls had fun watching him play and we all ate pizza afterwards how Saturdays go when you have grandkids.

 Here we are walking to the toll rope at Sundance, first time skiing for Emma, and Ella.

 Emma was a pro, she is a natural up there.

 This is the fun part eating afterwards

Ella did great she loved it, she will be going again.

This is Tait, I pick up Tait from school everyday and we have fun, we can go for walks or just stay home and make cookies, he is so fun to be with.  We went for this fun walk, he likes to play soccer too.  We sometimes go outside and play with the soccer ball, he is fast and a great player.

This Isabella, she goes by Ella most the time she loved the cupcakes that I had bought for valentines.  They were a fund raiser from Jennifer Payne.  Everyone loved them. Ella is dancing in The Snow Queen show at BYU, she loves to dance and has lots of fun.

This is the show at BYU with Ella in the blue bird costume, We all went to see the show and I think Ella likes the flower she got afterwards the best.

I often wonder where all the time we have goes, but 10 years ago it was 2002 Feb Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.  I did get on the volunteer list for the Peaks in Provo with the Hockey teams.  I got to go to SLC and pick up a Packet of everything that we got, the Coat, pants gloves, hats, pins, purses and the big bag to put everything in.  I have used my coat and pants going up to the ski slopes snow shoeing and just to keep warm over the years. My gloves I keep out all winter long. I worked with Inter Mountain Health and did my 40 hours both weeks and still did the 8 hour shift and 6 hour shifts for the Olympics it was someday 16 hours of work, but all two weeks went to fast and I did get to see some of the games with the hockey teams.  Did buy some tickets to see some also.  My daughter Polly danced with the American Folk Ballet which performed at Capital Theater in Salt Lake City Ty her husband now was on the management for the E Center for the men's hockey. Polly put in months of work with that group for the Arts during the Olympics, she danced with them for their performance in Salt Lake City. Ty worked for nearly a year with them for that one Venue.  Robin my third daughter was also one of the dancer in the show for the Para Olympics this is the two costume's she wore durning that performance. she was one of many dancers that works months learning that parts and then performing them for the world to see.  My oldest daughter Jennie was involved with the show for the Para Olympics.She put in more hours than anyone and know with the dancers and helping put the show together for that beautiful outstanding performance.  We can all be proud this month and remember the fun, the work and the project that was done for the world to see.  And think back on how it moved us to where we are today.

On Wednesday we had a big scout dinner with Brayden.  It was great the scout leaders are really great with the boys. They showed a video of the camp that the boys all went to last summer.  How much fun can a group have it looked amazing  On Thursday Tait goes to piano it is Let play music.  He loves it and I go with him once a month.  This time I feel outside and what makes us look around to see if anyone is looking at us when this happens.  I really didn't hurt but my hand hit the sidewalk and it is sore today. No broken anything, at my age that is not good.  I should be more careful when walking.  Stiff today but OK.

Home work tonight

I have the cutest grandsons, they are doing their home work with the TV on and the ipad on.  This is the new study habits for all young kids today.  They seems to do more because they see more and have more things available to them.  I just took one over to indoor soccer, you don't worry about weather anymore it can be 35 outside and they can still practice.  We have scouts to go to but not until later.   I did get some cards for valentine mailed today for the ones that are in Germany.  I have to send them today so they will get them on time.  I sent Cooper his also but he is in Fort Collins, he will have fun with all the candy I sent, (his mother will not but what can i say).  I love having all my grandchildren now it is a time in my life that makes me the happiest of all.  I can be with one or all it doesn't matter they keep me 29, and how else would I get to see dancing, singing and piano recitals.  

It has been a day, almost 2:00pm and I am still cleaning the kitchen. I have to run boys after school today Tuesdays are the busy scouts, basketball and dance for all three of them. We did get in a McDonald's. I had to go outside and help do the snow removal I only like it done away from the house, this is a little harder but in the long run you don't get the ice on the sidewalks.
