Clines/Kelso Wedding

March 12 my great friend, Jennifer Clines, said "I DO"!!!! I was so happy to be a part of her fun, exciting weekend!!! I can't even remember when we first became friends but we have shared a lot!! Youth Camps, college days, choir tours, dorm days...what a great friend!!!!

Jennifer had a beautiful wedding that was just as organized and well put together as she is!!! Instead of folding programs, or decorating the church after the rehearsal (she already had all of that done!) we had a fun bridal shower for her. A FUN filled evening.

I wish she and Rocky ALL THE BEST!!! As M. Stetler said when performing the ceremony, "Jennifer, you're getting a great guy!!", "Rocky, you're getting a super girl!!!"

Let The Good Times Roll

Just stoppin' in to make a quick post amid a very busy week. Khara had a school play today--Excellent Job!! Kaden had his Spring program tonight--So cute!! Kindergarten pigs, ducks, and farmers singing their little hearts out made for a great program. Kelsey's class has been studying fiddler crabs and dwarf African frogs. Today she adopted two of them!! The aquarium is once again set up. (I've questioned my sanity a couple of times since them, but she's happy). :-)

This weekend my great friend, Jennifer Clines, gets married!!!! Rehearsal, dinner, and bridal shower tomorrow, followed by walking down the aisle on Saturday afternoon!!! Sooo excited and happy for her!!! Theeeennnn, on Sunday morning bright and early I'm taking off on a long road trip to visit all my siblings!!!!! So, to some of my faithful readers... I'll see you in a couple of days--Can't wait!!! :-) Have a fantastic weekend!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Karson!!!

February 22, Kason turned 3 years old!!! This is soooo hard to believe--time really does fly!
We had his party at my parents house. It was fun having Philip, Dana, Elijah, and Tanner there, along with several of my cousins!

Karson's one birthday wish was for a train cake. It was fun granting that one!!





Love Elijah's look in this pic. I think the candy on the train made him smile!! :-)


"Make a wish, make a wish..."

Karson had lots of help opening his gifts! ;-)


He was very happy with this one!!

And, this one made him smile! Love my little happy guy!!!


HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY , KARSON!!!

Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's Day is always such a fun holiday for us!!! Khara and Kaden had to make Valentine Boxes at home to take to school. Kelsey's teacher had them make them at school. BLESSSS that teacher!!! :-)

On one of our several snow days, we tackled the job of making the boxes. Kaden made a Hershey Kiss. Khara make a locker. Khara had a contest in her classroom and was happy to get 2nd place out of the 24 students!!

**my computer is having issues and will not let me turn the photos, EXTREMELY annoying!!!
Sorry, just turn your neck. ;-)

Time to address those Valentine Cards!!

Kaden with the Kiss!

Kaden's class party.

One more pic. of Kaden with his "box".

Karson enjoying one of the many fringe benefits of older siblings-- he gets to attend lots of school parties! :-)

Basketball

While looking at my past posts, I realized I had never posted this one from the first of November. Better late than never!!

~~~~~~~
For the first time, our little town is offering a Basketball program for little ones. When the note came home from school, Kaden just knew he wanted to be in it!!! :-) It is very similar to the well known "Upwards" program, they just used a different name to avoid the high price tag associated with that program.
He is really enjoying it and we are really enjoying watching!!! ;-) Have you ever watched a group of 5 & 6 year-olds try to play an organized game of B-ball?? Very entertaining!!! :-)


Practice

Ready for their first game. The girl to the right of Kaden was less than impressed. They give them each a colored clip for their shirt so that they can remember who they are to be guarding on the other team. The opponent to be guarded has a matching colored clip.




Mid game drink break.

And so the sport begins....now through the middle of December. After watching Kaden, Khara has decided that she wants to play. Her practice will start this Saturday....

~~~~
The season is now over and they both LOVED it, esp. Khara!!! I'll have to get some pics. on of her playing.

Holiday Wrap-Up

Jan. 26---- hard to believe. Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I realized I needed to wrap up my Christmas event pictures. I have so many pictures it's almost staggering-- here are a few:

Englund family Christmas--


One of life's big blessings--- lots and lots of cousins!!!

Clayton and Kelsey playing in the basement.

Gotta love all the gadgets kids (okay, we adults like them pretty well, too) are entertained with these days! Caleb.

Kelsey and cute little Allie.

Little Addison

I LOVE how Emme really latched on to me this visit. Lots of fun!!

Sonic and Sugar Cookies...soooooo good!!! :-)

Stocking Time--




Well into the festivities!!! What a blast!!!


The guys enjoyed helping my dad work on clearing land by cutting some wood. Actually, enjoyed might be an understatement. Mark LOVED it! Maybe something to do with a new chain saw he received for his birthday in December. :-)




Sheep Rides:






Burley New Year's Activities--

We went to Michigan a few days after Christmas to spend time with Mark's side of the family. When it was time to load up the van my camera was MIA. I am thankful that Khara and Kelsey captured memories on their cameras.

Allison, Harmony, and Kelsey----Sweet!!


Silly!! :-)



Burley cousins-- checkin' out Kristen's pictures.


Just about every year we order pizza from somewhere. There is always a new delicious place to order from. YUM!!!!!

Kelsey with the soon to be wed niece, Harmony. Kelsey was telling me she sure hopes she still gets to see Harmony alot after she is married! ;-)

Hope your New Year is off to a wonderful start!! We are trying to enjoy life to the fullest!!! We are so Blessed!!!!
