A going away party

We had a going away party for Adam on Monday night.

Sophia made this shirt that says, "I survived the Nelson's"

for him and we all signed it!

We played the "Adverbs" game again.

This one was the best! The word was "seriously"

and the two biggest clowns were asked to act out the word as they were in the Jungle

swinging from the trees with the monkey's!

Oh my gosh! Can I just tell you ....I seriously needed to pee!

The word was "Closterphobically"

My boys!

Don't ask!

Bryce showed us the Hip Hop dance he is learning at Charisma.

Here he was trying to get Sophia to let him flip her.

And here after 3 times of practice with

Michael and Adam to catch her,

she finally let him flip her! It was awesome! I cant wait to see his

performance in May!

We had a great time!  We're gonna miss you Adam!

She's back and He's cracked!

Sophia arrived on Friday afternoon.  She is on Spring Break and we get to have her here all week!

On Sunday between Conference sessions we made some yummy rolls as Stephen and Sophia

worked on Stephen's election posters for Student Council!

Crazy kids, having fun!

Sophia recently ran for Publicity on her student body council and won.

So, she pretty much took over for Stephen and came up with some

great posters, pins and t-shirts for him! They worked all weekend on them.

Love this pose, don't you?

Heaven help us all!

So here is one of the posters they(Sophia) came up with.

Stephen wanted to do a Hunger Games theme with fire in the

background.  So, he spray painted his hair yellow and red which turned out

orange like this.  This week is election week. 

He is running for Student Body President.

We find out the results on Friday.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Preference

 Stephen got asked to Preference by Ashlie and they attended on Friday March 30th.

That boy seriously needs a hair cut!

Had to get a going away shot, yes, they were thrilled...cant you tell?

Another Birthday Boy

On March 29th we celebrated Stephen's birthday!

He turned 17 this year.

Elsie and Stephen are best friends....eh hmm.

Anyway, her sisters adore him and they made a music video for him to the song

"Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift.  It was adorable!

We had the whole family over for dinner that night.

That's what he wanted.

Happy Birthday Stephen!

A Las Vegas Temple Sealing

I went to Las Vegas on March 23rd to attend Johnny and Amanda's sealing in the Temple. We had a great time seeing Linda's family again.  Johnny looks so much like her and I knew she was beaming with joy from Heaven that day.  It was a very happy occassion for all of us!
