Last Day of School!

May 20, 2011

Trevor's Kindergarten graduation was so cute!  They sang some songs and then everyone was called up to receive their "diploma" from Mrs. Huntbrown, the Principal, and then Mrs. Stecca, Trevor's teacher, told everyone what they want to be when they grow up.  Trevor said he wants to be an Insurance Representative!  That got a laugh!  

More basketball

Here are some pictures from Trevor's trophy party.  His friends on the team were Travis Allen, Cade Petersen, and cousin Bryson, and his coach was Brent Petersen.

Alyssa's Baptism

On Saturday, February 5, 2011 Alyssa was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It was a wonderful day!  She was excited and a little nervous about being "dunked" but she did great.  The first time Mark baptized her, her little toe popped up so he had to do it again.  When Alyssa came out of the water and we were walking to go get changed she said, "Well, that's something to tell my kids!  I got baptized twice!"  It made me laugh. :-)  Grandpa Campbell gave a great talk on Baptism, and Grandma Telford gave a great talk on The Holy Ghost.  After the baptism, everyone headed to our house for a yummy lunch. We are so proud of Alyssa and the wonderful decision that she has made.

As usual, I was awful at taking pictures, and failed to get one of Alyssa with Grandma and Grandpa Telford at her baptism, but here are a few of them at dinner that night...

I couldn't resist putting in this great silly picture!

Happy 8th Birthday Alyssa!

January 15, 2011

Alyssa is 8!  Alyssa started off the day opening presents of course!  She got the new 2011 girl of the year American Girl doll, Kalani, from us, and some squinkies from Kylie and Trevor.

 Later in the day (it was on a Saturday this year) I got to spend some special time with Alyssa and we went and got pedicures!  It was so fun!  Alyssa picked out her own color of nail polish and even got a cute little flower design on her big toes.

 Later that evening we had a family birthday party, and this was Alyssa's adorable ice-cream cake that she picked out.

Alyssa got money from all of her grandparents this year, and she had a blast buying stuff with all that cash!  She ordered a bunch of American Girl stuff, what else?! :-)

 Uncle Jason, Aunt Heather, cousins Kami, Wyatt and Blake got Alyssa a giftcard to her favorite clothing store, Justice!

 Uncle Travis, Aunt Tarah, cousins Bryson, Lucas and Austin got her this cute Messenger Bag that she had a blast decorating herself, and her favorite candy!

She had a great day and loves being 8! 

Trevor plays basketball!!!

January 2011

Trevor continues to LOVE sports.  He gave basketball a try at the beginning of the year and of course, loved it!  It was awesome to watch these little guys out there on the court, learning how to dribble the basketball AND run at the same time! :-)  He learned a lot and had a blast.  I am not very "sporty" at all, but I LOVE to watch Trevor play sports.  It is so fun to watch your child do something that they love.

Christmas 2010!!!

For our 10th wedding anniversary (back in December), Mark surprised me with a printed book of our blog.  I loved it soo much, and realized what a great journal it was.  So I vowed to blog even more.  Well, I haven't blogged since October, and it's May.  So I'm going to be playing catch up for a while.  Christmas was as always, a blast!  It gets better and better every year as Kylie gets older and all of our kids really get into Christmas-the joy of getting and giving presents as well as understanding what Christmas is really all about...the birth of our Savior. 

Here is a picture of the kids on Christmas Eve excited about opening the traditional Christmas Eve present.  This year they all got Pillow Pets.  Alyssa got a pig, Trevor got a dog, and Kylie got a ladybug (pictured in the next pic).

Christmas morning...waiting to come down the stairs with their pillow pets!

 Santa brought Kylie a Minnie Mouse, Trevor got Woody from Toy Story...

and Alyssa got a Squinkie house.

 Presents from Mom and Dad (not all pictured) :-)

After a fun morning of opening presents at our house, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's for breakfast and more presents!  Alyssa got Lanie, the American Girl doll...

Trevor got some new golf clubs...

and Kylie got a Bitty Baby "Brittney" doll.  (Alyssa has the exact same one and she named hers Brittney, and Kylie LOVED her so Grandma and Grandpa got Kylie her own!)  She also got a Jessie doll (from Toy Story) and a cute Little People set.

    Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Telford's where Trevor got "Lotso" from Toy Story, and a Mario Galaxy 2 Wii game.

    Alyssa loved her American Girl Scrapbook, camera case for her new camera, and a Club Penguin Wii game.

                     I'm pretty sure Kylie could not have enough jammies.  She is always in them, the second we walk in the door, she's out of her clothes and into jammies.  So, she was thrilled about these new jammies that matched her new bitty baby!  She also loved the Rapunzel doll, LeapFrog movie, and cute new outfit for "Brittney."
