Ellie's Final Clogging Recital

Ellie's had her final clogging performance. She has kind of had a love/no love for clogging. Sometimes she did not want to go but by the time she got home she was happy. I am not sure still what we are going to do next year. Her performance was amazing. She knew every move and had a good time! Hailey wants to be just like Ellie!

Ellie, Lilly, and Syndey. Getting ready to dance!

Ellie and Lilly. This is the friend that Ellie has been clogging with all year. It was a treat to drive them each week and just listen to their conversations!!

Hailey, Mya (our neighboor), and Avery (Lilly's little sister). These little girls were loving running around and playing before the performance.

More Race Photos

My friends sent more race photos and I just wanted to document them. Notice I am by myself. I ran the last 4 miles alone. My friends are way too fast and I didn't want to hold them back. It was kind of awesome to have to push myself and know that I could do it!

Me, Jenn and Kim before the race. Some great friends!!

All of us before the big race showing our strength!

This is a great group of women. These ladies are in my ward. They are my sisters and my friends. I could have not accomplished this goal without them. They are women of strength, faith, love, and testimony! From left: Ann, Jenn, Me, Diedre and Kim. Thanks ladies!!

Great Potato Half Marathon

The 33rd Annual Great Potato Half Marathon 13.1 Miles.........Completed!!! I even shaved off about 25 minutes from last year's time!! This is a few of the ladies I trained with. Me, Kim, Deidre, and Jenn. They keep me going and got me through it!! One of our friends did the full marathon and other is doing her run next week!! Great support team!

My dang cute family! David and the kids followed me through the race and gave me extra drinks, shot blocks, and a lot of cheering!!! I am lucky to have such a supportive husband and family. I could not have done this without them!

Hailey was scared of the Potato for some reason. Ellie wouldn't even come over by him. I realized when we started the race that the batteries in my camera were dead so I had to rely on friends to take pictures. When I get more pictures I will post them!!! It really was a fun day. It was hard....I'm not going to lie....but it feels good to reach my goal!!! I think we are going to try and do another in October. This year I don't want to stop running....once you stop it's hard to build back up.

Eames Kids

So it finally happened. Someone in our house found the scissors and cut their own hair. I should have know it would be Hailey. I caught her cutting her little pony hair a few days earlier. I told David that when I was little none of my Barbie's or Horses had hair! It was kind of funny. But not funny when she came into my room one morning and I was running my hands through her hair to realize she was missing some. She had cut herself some bangs...but just on one side! For the first week I just tried to spray them down but gave her and completed her cut and gave her full bangs. Ellie was not happy because has wanted bangs for sometime and I just keep holding her off. It has taken some getting used to...but she looks pretty dang cute!

I don't think its possible for all of them to look at me at the same time. That for sue would be too much to ask.

Another pic of Hailey getting ready to go to preschool showing off her new bangs!! They are short!!! She got made and me the other day and threaten to cut her hair again. I'm sure it will happen.....with Hailey its just about time. At least she is cutting her own hair. When I was little I cut my friends hair. I can't believe her Mom did not hurt me!!

Lake Lowell

The girls love to go on adventures so we went out to Lake Lowell and walked around. I think Hailey was scared she was going to fall in by the looks on her face.

We bought this back pack for Sam which he didn't like at first but the more we use the better he likes it. It also make for a great workout.

The girls picked out there own outfits. You can go on a walk without your purse!

Hailey showing off her style!! This girls makes me laugh everyday!!

This loving moment brought to you by the Eames' girls. Most of the time they are really sweet to each other.....I said most....trust me it not all love!

David's Birthday

We went to Tucono's for David's birthday dinner. Such a yummy dinner! Ellie and Hailey eating large amounts of Grapes!

Our little Samuel looking so big!!

On the way home we went to our favorite park to play. By this time we are all looking a bit rough. Hailey had just stubbed her toe and was in pain. She is a little dramatic!

The girls giving David's their presents. They were so proud they even wrapped them themselves. It was a fun weekend. So for a few months David is older than me. This I enjoy!!

Easter

(This picture was suppose to be last...sorry) The Fullmer's brought us a lamb cake for Easter. It was so yummy and so sweet of them!

Sam at the Easter Egg Hunt. At first he didn't want anything to do with it until he realized it was candy. He picked up one piece and then wanted to eat it. I had to convince him to keep looking for candy. It was still a bit cold in Nampa....hence the coats!

Ellie and Hailey after the hunt! Hailey already with a mouth full of candy. She has her mom's sweet tooth!

Sam does not like to pose with his sisters! This is about as good as it gets!

Hailey and Ellie on Easter morning. New glasses and purses. They were very happy!

David's parent came up over Easter. His dad ordained him a High Priest on Easter Sunday. It was a beautiful day! We were really bad about taking pictures!!!
