Rylie's First Recital

Rylie starting playing the piano back in February and today she had her first recital! She played two songs that she had memorized, "Siamese Cat Song" and "When We're Helping". She didn't make one mistake! She played with 13 other students. It was fun to see so many kids from our ward who also take lessons from Sister Baker. We are so proud of her! Great job Rylie!

Bowling Queen!

Last night we went bowling for family night. I did horrible in the first game (typical) and great in the second (160). In the last 6 frames I bowled spare, spare, strike, strike, strike, and a spare! I ended up beating everyone and now Mike owes me $20!! I'll take dinner and a movie this weekend, please!

Spring Formal - A Knight for a Princess

Saturday night was the Spring Formal for 4 stakes in the Chandler/ Gilbert area. Chance's group went to Olive Garden, then spent 30 minutes at the dance talking and getting their picture taken, and then went back to his date's house and watched a movie. If I had know that I wouldn't have spent so much money on his tux! Let me tell you boys can be expensive too! I would have been better off buying him a brand new suit! They all had fun and the pictures turned out cute. I actually spent 8 hours on Saturday helping decorate. It was pretty impressive what the parents accomplished. It was decorated like a castle. They had armor, 2 castles, fountains, a huge gazebo, and a huge draw bridge that the kids had to walk through to get in. I didn't stay to finish decorating or help to chaparone. I had to go to the ER because Mike decided to break his pinkie finger when he jumped in the pool! All in all the kids had a great time. Next year I'll have two going!

I Love Pedicures!!

I guess you could say that pedicures are my one guilty pleasure! So, what do you think? My sister-in-law told me of this new salon that does all different kinds of designs. I have had more comments on this pedicure than ever before. It has been so fun and with the warm, sunny weather we're having I wear sandals everyday! I can't wait to see what I get next month!

Chance is Going to the "Mormon Prom"!

Our stake is participating in a 4 stake prom for all the Priests and Laurels. Chance asked a young lady to go on Friday by putting his invitation in an envelope laminated twice and then placing the envelope in a large bowl filled with water. Then he placed it in the freezer. (He was going to ask her on Thursday but it took longer than he thought to freeze!) He put the large block of ice on her doorstep with a note saying, "crack me open!" When we came home from church on Sunday, this little pool filled with water and ducks was on our front porch. He had to put the ducks in order to discover her answer ! How cute is that!!
