 Here's a few more of Jake.  Sorry I almost forgot about Easter Pictures.

 Brooklyn liked finding the eggs.

 Sorry out of order, but here's Jake serving

 Everyone has a special egg to find so the order people will participate.  Jake's was high in the tree out front. It had candy and a movie ticket.

 Barry finding his.

 Brooklyn and her popcycle

 Kelsey colored her egg and she had to put Taylor's name on it.  Yes, she is long distance dating Taylor McCleary.

 The egg fight

 Laura won.

 Easter morning.  Jaycie and Savanna with the new Easter dresses.  They paid for them themselves.  Pretty cool

 Kelsey found her basket

 I found Rob and mine.

It was a great weekend.  Friday we BBQ with my family, colored eggs, found eggs, and had the egg fight.  On Easter all of my family came over and we had a great dinner.  The Jarvis' didn't get together this year.  It was sad.

Karissa graduation and Jake morp and volleyball

 Jake went to MORP this past week.  His date was Emma Bradshaw.  They went at Prince Eric and Ariel.  I think they look pretty good.  He said he had a lot of fun.

 Jake is in the middle of volleyball season.  He is doing a great job.

 Announcing:   Karissa Brown is graduating from ASU May 4th!!!!

 Karissa and I went to Freestone Park the other day to take pictures of her for her announcement.

 I can't believe she is graduating from college.  She is sooooo happy!

 She is getting a degree in Bachelor of Science

 In Health Sciences, Healthy Lifestyle Coaching

 at the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion

So, she is looking for a job.  Let her know if you know of anything.  We are all sooooo proud of her.  Didn't I do a good job taking her picture?!!!

Birthdays, Bluewater, and more

 At the beginning of March the 6th grade class at Savanna's school had a Medieval Festival.  They had to dress up.  Here is Savanna (middle), Cambryn (left) and Allison (right)

 For a grade they had to build a castle.  Savanna and her friend Cambryn decided to make one out of food.  Yes, that lunch meat, bread, cheese, and lettuce.

 This is Savanna and her 6th grade teacher Gwen Lenz.  Best teacher ever!

 In December they also had to make Egyptian masks.  They put plaster on their faces.  Took them off, had them harden, and then painted them.  This is really a plaster face of Savanna.

 Jake and Brooklyn's birthdays.  We had a small celebration on March 8th.  Jake had a volleyball game and got home late.  Jake is 17 and Brooklyn is 1.

 Blowing out the candles.

 For Spring Break we went up to the cabin.  There was a little snow.  Brooklyn's first snow.

 Jaycie took Brooklyn on her first quad ride.

 We had problems with the water pump in the pump house.  Yes, we went 4 days without water.  We had to go down to Aunt Ruth's for water and to shower.

 Brooklyn bathed in the kitchen sink.  We had to warm the water on the stove.

 We went up into the mountains for a little sledding.  Brooklyn had a fun time.

 Jaycie trying out the sled.

 Kason, Kali, and Brooklyn.  What a cute family!

 Sorry I have this picture twice.  That's ok she is sooooo cute!

 Kason giving sledding a try

 Rob not doing so well

 Four monkeys on the roof (Savanna, Jaycie, Karli, and Brandon)

 We love the cabin in Bluewater, New Mexico.  Even though we had water problems it still was a great trip.  I even got to read a book. Book 1 of the Hunger Games.  I think Kali read 2 books.

After we got home Kali bought Brooklyn a swim suit.  The pool is still cold but putting the hose on the trampoline is still fun too.  She loves her sunglasses.

More Birthdays

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE AND BROOKLYN!!!
Yesterday was Jake's 17th birthday and Brooklyn's 1st birthday.  Jake went to school all day and then had a volleyball game.  They played Red Mountain and won.  Jake did a great job.  Afterward we came home and had pizza, presents, cake and ice cream.  Kali and Kason brought Brooklyn over to the house too.  Hope the two of you had a great day.  WE LOVE YOU!!    Pictures later.

Musical, Birthdays and More

 Jake was asked to MORP. He was asked by Emma Bradshaw. (A Senior!!)

 Aunt Iris and Aunt Ruth came into town.  I had was able to drive them up to Thatcher and Safford to see the Gila Valley Temple.  It was a lot of fun.  All my cousins were jealous.

 So it was me, my Dad and Mom, Aunt Iris and Aunt Ruth.

 The temple is so pretty.

 Savanna and the rest of the dance company danced at Tempe Marketplace.   She is getting really good.

 Savanna turned 12 on the 20th of February.  Some of her friends and the beehive class decorated the front lawn.

 What a cutey.

 Happy Birthday Savanna.  We love you!

 A week later Savanna had a birthday party.  It was a lot of fun.  The girls painted toes and finger nails.  They also had facials.  They also curled each others hair.  A few girls were able to spend the night and we had a big breakfast in the morning.  Can't believe my baby it 12.

 Jake has been in a musical at Mesa High.  They did Beauty and the Beast.  Jake was part of the ensemble.  He was a village person.  He was a butler in the castle.  He was also a dancer with a partner.

This is Jake with his dance partner Shaylee Shaver.

Doesn't he look great in his tux with tails.  Handsome boy.

The musical was amazing.  The costumes were unbelievable.  The singing was just like Broadway.    Sandy Stones is the drama teacher and she is amazing.  He had a great time.  He also made the varsity volleyball team again.  They have had two regular season games and they beat Mountain View the defending state champs.  Hopefully they will have a great season.

Brooklyn had her birthday party on Saturday the 3rd.  She wont be 1 until the 8th.  Kali went all out and had everything decorated so cute.

She loved her cupcake.

Opening presents was fun.

Brooklyn with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Sabin.  Things have been busy but alot of fun.  Brooklyn will be 1 this Thursday and Jake will be 17.  I can't believe Jake is 17.  I am old.
