Shake that Groove Thing, shake that groove thing! YEAH, YEAH!!!

Taggert and Drexton have been taking dance only since January with Miss Corrinne. They were hoping it would be more hip hop, they love to groove to Usher, but this is a good start, and they had fun!

                                                                The Classic YMCA!

                         Peter Pan Lost Boys Theme Song. My favorite part is the leap frog! Just watch!

It's been an Eventful Month to say the least...

Disclaimer: Picture Overload!

Thank goodness this guy is not so little anymore to help with yard work.



And this one finds any event/excuse to pop popcorn.  This was when we were taking down the rest of tree, (thankfully before the microburst hit the next week).

And we are never sure what is going on in this little guys brain. Don't even ask about the glove.?.

This little princess is mastering her tricks on the tramp we've nearly had to shovel every other day.

All the Hooper grandkids, and Marshall, racing through the very traditional, mythotical Easter Scavenger Hunt.

Turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. So easy the kids could help.

And this same growing teenager goes through my strawberry freezer jam like its powerade, so he got nominated to help this year. I can't tell, but I think he's snitching whole strawberries.

I hope we did enough, those pint jars are doubled behind them too!

And last, but not least, this baby FINALLY graduated preschool after 5 years!  Bittersweet for me, Addie asked if I was retiring, Drexton is more than ready to move on! I will definately miss being with him, my sister, my nephew, and all those cute preschoolers who put life into perspective everyday, but I know it is time for me to do other things and be home.

Rube-Goldberg!

Logan's latest science project! These two best friends came up with this all on their own. They did however start outside, then 5 hours later decided to move the whole thing into the garage because they were losing daylight and warmth. 6 hours later they finally got it filmed and ready for an A!

In Time of Need...

What do we hear every General Conference?  Service  & Family is the key to true happiness.  Well, we got to experience that first hand Sunday Morning.  The storm that blew in Saturday night finally took in it's victim. Our beautiful, ginourmous Willow Tree. (We are really surprised this hasn't happened sooner. And so grateful it wasn't the house or the neighbors car it hit.) But with the help of All, and I mean ALL our family, and one neighbor with his cute daughter, it was cut (thanks Clark Griswald, I mean Dad), cleaned up, and loaded on the truck and trailer in less than 1 hour.  Just in time to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa and on their way to catch the last 2-hour block of conference at home.

I LOVE THIS KID!!

This is Taggerts cake for the Blue and Gold Banquet last month. The theme was "Resourcefulness". With just a little help from Mom and Addie and friend it turned out pretty darn cute!

This kid has had quite a week.  A touch of the flu, missing 3 total days of school, with just fever and aches, and a lost battle with the playground. These pictures did not do the bloodiness any justice.

Fortunately the doctor was able to glue it instead of stitches, but it was borderline. This kid is so brave I tell ya, only screamed on impact, and remained calm the rest of the night, and had to show it off at scouts an hour later. To top off his week we went to Parent/Teacher Conference and he has been invited to do the gifted program. What a kid!!

And the pics are in!

Drexton doring his chore after a full day of preschool, then dance class.



Tag and Drex at dance class, putting their incredibly good rhythm to use in their latest interest Hip Hop.

Tag at the Blue and Gold Banquet for Cubscouts with his awesome leader Brigham. Yes, notice he is not wearing his uniform, as the busy mother totally forgot till we got there, but totally remembered the awesome cake Tag and Addie and her friend Mikaylah helped create.  More pics of that later.
