Black Stripe Kid

Riley earned his black stripe in Tae Kwon Do this week. He did awesome. This is the last step for him before he become a black belt. Now he has to keep practicing and getting stronger until he waits out the year time frame.

Copellia

Madison performed in Brindusa-Moore's production of Copellia. She was in the Wedding Bells Dance. She is on the second row on the far right next to the house. (Yes, she did mess up in the beginning and the girl behind her told her to stop.) She really likes ballet and never complains about going to classes every week. She had practices for Copellia every night the week of the performance and loved going every time. She works hard and is beauitful.

Easter Hunt in Rockland

Here are some pics from for the family from the Easter egg hunt in Rockland. I'm not sure how 4-wheelers and Easter fit together, but the kids had a blast riding Grandpa's and Josh's 4-wheelers around.

Hoppy Easter

This Easter Riley missed out on the community egg hunt because he was turkey hunting. The girls had a good time though. They got lots of goodies. We colored the eggs that night. We had a fun kit that made the eggs all shiny and shimmery. They kids even liked eating the hard boiled eggs after. They must be growing up. The girls even got some new (dearly needed) dresses for church.

WE ARE MOVING

Josh is so tired of riding the shuttle down to SLC every time he has to fly (which is about 2-4 times a month). He didn't want to live in a huge city like Salt Lake or Denver or St. Louis. So he picked 3 cities that would suit him: Rapid City, SD; Colorado Springs, CO; St. George, UT. So after much deliberating and praying and going to the temple, we have decided to move to St. George, Utah. During spring break, we were so busy. We met with the realtor here to see about putting our house on the market. That started an immediate remodel. We put in new carpet throughout, new counter tops in the kitchen, and a new stove. That took two weeks to get everything done.

So in the mean time, we went down to St. George to meet with a realtor and see our options. We found several homes that we really, like but we have to sell this one first. Here are some pictures of the family climbing on some beautiful red rock and the girls with one of their new best friends, Poncho the dog.
