Watch out Kindergarten....

....Here Comes Whitley!!!



Whitley is not an official preschool graduate!! She had her graduation ceremoy last week. They sang some really cute songs and did a little slideshow of all the fun things they have done this year. Whitley's teachers picked her as the "Most Helpful" student in her class!!



She loved her teachers Miss Kerrin and Miss Kellie,


She was in preschool with 8 little boys and 1 other little girl that only came once a week. But in Whitley fashion had no trouble bossing all those boys around.



Whitley is ready for kindergarten, She knows how to write her name, knows all the letters and the sounds they make, can count to 100 and is really excited to go to the big school with the big playground!! She knows what really matters!



Whiltey will be in the class of 2025!! Wow if that doesnt seem like forever away, but for now I am more than happy with this diploma!!



Kindergarten Or Bust!!

IT'S GREAT TO BE EIGHT!!

I Cannot believe Karden is 8!! He chose to get baptized and on May 5 he took the plunge (literally) He looked so big in his suit,
Funny story about the actual baptism- He was nervous and while Ryan Said the prayer Karden was holding his nose the entire time but them had to breath out of his mouth, so when Ryan dunked him he swallowed a mouth full of water and came up spitting and gagging and beelining it out of the font. He didnt even wait for the witnesses to say that he was completly submerged, he was outta there! .He was NOT doing that again!!
Grandpa Norman Confirmed him and after the Bishop said a few words and asked Karden if he liked to do homework. Karden said Yes!! We may need to talk about telling lies now that they count against him :) We are very proud of our little 8 year old!!

Dancin' Queen!

Whitley has been bugging me forever to let her take dance- all her little friends are in dance and she really wants to do it but I'm not ready for the commitment! So to satisfy her "Need" to dance and my "need" no to have this monthly commitment- we signed her up for the junier drill clinic at Maple Mountain High School! To say she LOVED it was an understatement- She could shake her booty like no one else in practice- She would come home at night and practice in the mirror- This is her pose she decided to strike at the end of the dance! Yeah she could rock it!!
She was soo excited when it was time for her to dance at the soccer game- But mother nature had other ideas and the hurricane strength winds made them dance in the gym, When it was here turn to dance a strange thing happened she still shook her booty but was much more conservative then she was at practie and maybe she was a little shy- Yes I said it Whitley was Shy! That is a new one for me, Whitley is all loud and loves attention- But a little of her mom came out of her and she still loved it but after she said all the people looking at me made me kinda nervous_ Doing her mermaid kicks!
Getting set up for the super improtant turn!!
Whitley did a really good job!! She needed a picture with her little drill team teachers, Melissa and Lindsey!
She had a great time and hopefully she got the dancing bug out of her system for a couple of years- now I only hear about dance twice a day instead of the 20 times I was hearing about it before- Mission Accomplished! :)
