Derrick and Shannon's new house

A few Weekends ago we all got together to help Shannon and Derrick put sheet rock up in their, soon to be, new house. I am so excited for them, it is going to be a really amazing house Derrick is so good at what he does. This winter, instead of sitting around, he started building Shannon this house and now they are almost done. It was really fun helping them work on it too. Shannon gave us the grand tour, While Berny and David went to work strait away putting up sheet rock on the ceiling in the garage. Whitney, Deacon, and Hallie went outside to play in the mud. Whitney was so excited that she had someone to get dirty with her. Mom was so great she watched all the kids so that we could help Derrick put up the sheet rock in the dinning and living room. For lunch we had a B-B-Q in their soon to be living room. Hallie and Deacon got so tuckered out that they both fell asleep in one of the soon to be bedrooms and I thought that Whitney might soon follow but she never did all she wanted to do was to get up on those high wall with the rest of us. She would stand right under us with her hands up saying "UUUUUP PEES, UUUP." It was so cute finally aunt Shannon brought her up. After we finished for the day we went to Derrick and Shannon to see their new puppies. They are full blood hounds and they were so cute. Whitney wasn't sure if she liked them at first but once she warmed up to them I couldn't get her away. She thought they were her puppies.

Easter at Grandma Great's house!

When I was growing up we had a tradition that during Easter time where we would have a big Easter egg hunt out on Grandma and Grandpa Dalton's farm. Well the tradition faded away as we got older and soon we stopped doing it all together. Now we have started it back up again and I am so excited. Whitney had so much fun with all of her cousin and the food was great. We started with an Easter egg hunt for all the really little kids, like Whitney, and then had a hunt for the older kid. After all the hunting fun we had an really good pot luck lunch and my Uncle Rex made his famous dutch oven chicken. Some time after that we had a program that I missed because Shannon and I were playing games with all the little kids. Games like red rover, tag, etc. To me that was probably the funnest part of the day. After the program all the parents thanked Shannon and I for watching there kids so that they could see the program. We laughed because we didn't even realize that was what we were doing, we were just having fun. HEHEHE!! That's funny.

Red Rover Red Rover send Shannon right over!! I could not believe how tough some of these kid where. Joshua go cloths lined so many time I think he thought that was what the game was really about and started tackling kid for no reason. It was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Here is Zoe Mollie's little girl. She has changed a lot since the last time I saw her.




Easter Morning Breakfast, she really knows how to make a mess!!


But she sure can clean up nice :) Here is Whitney Lee in her Easter Dress.

We had Easter dinner at mom and Dads and here are all the pretty little girls in their Easter dresses. Lailoni, Whitney, Gracie, and Adalynn.

Michelle's Good bye party!!

Here are some old pictures but they are still important. This was at Michelle's farewell party before she left on her mission. She had a lot of people that came to support her in her decision to serve the Lord. Especially Boys :) hehe! She has been out for about 2 and a half months and is serving in the El Salvador San Salvador and Belize mission, Spanish speaking. I am so proud of her and I hope you all are praying for her :)

Here is Tim and Michelle, they were dating when she left and are planning on getting married when she gets home.

Hand Check :)

Michelle was already set apart at the party so no touching boys :)

Michelle, Brooke, and I. We were best friends in High school.

"Whitty girl had crazy hair !!!!!"

So we went to Stephanie's house yesterday and I decided to do Whitney's hair in a single ponytail right on top of her head, like Alfalfa in Little Rascals. It was cute but kind of funny looking. Anyway, Stephanie and I were in the living room chatting and we noticed that it was getting way too quite for a house filled with kids. so we went looking for them. Stephanie found Joshua and Whitney in her bathroom and Joshua had a little piece of hair in his hand that he had cut from Whitney's head with some scissors that Larry had used that morning. When Stephanie found them she asked Joushua why he would do such a thing. He said "Whitty girl had crazy hair mommy." With that we both laughed, and just said how good it was that she found them before he cut that little ponytail off the top of her head. Well, after a while Joesph decided that he wanted to take a bath so I decided to get Whitney her bath for the night too. As I was getting her undressed I went to take out her ponytail and out came all the hair that was in it, except for a few strands that it was all hanging on by. It seems that Joshua did fix "Whitty's crazy hair" after all. Yes I am ok!!! boo hoo hoo!! I had a little cry over it :) I did wait a long time for it to get that long.But it will grow back, I will just have to get a little more creative. After the bath and hair fiasco they all went and played on the boys new bunk bed. They had a lot of fun. And Whitney didn't even notice her newly acquired bold spot :) Life is so fun.

I found these really cool clips on u-tube and I am so excited to share them. I love the Gospel

State Champions!!!

Richfield Varsity Girls Basketball team is this years State Basketball Champions for our division. They all played very well and ended up beating Dietrich in the Idaho Center, in Boise. Which is funny because Dietrich is only about 15min away from Richfield, so we both had to travel 2 and a half hours to play each other.
I was really excited to see that Dietrich made it to the Championship game with us because I love the girls on that team, and they worked hard to get there. In the tournament they won two buzzer beater games, against Garden Valley and Carey (Who ended up in Third place). I also thought it was cool because my cousin Elli plays for Dietrich, and a lot of people in Richfield nicknamed her "Janet's TWIN". Which I think is a huge compliment because she is a little fireball, and she is so stinking cute too!!
Our Team was really fun to watch this year because all three of Coach Kent's girls are starters on the team and are fenominal player. Michelle the Senior, has been beating me up all year in practice because she drives to the basket with so much intensity that she is unstoppable. Not to mention she always would ram me right in to Mirium Rivis, who's screens feel like you are running right into a brick wall (a Boney brick wall). Tiny, his daughter who is a junior, handles the ball like it is just another part of her body and can shoot the lights out of the gym. In every one of their games up at State she scored over 20 points, and ended up winning the MVP award for the tournament. Shasha, his freshman, is very good for her age. I'm not surprised when she has two older sisters to play with all the time. She has a good shot and is a quick little thing on defense, she is everywhere. Lea was the other senior, and was the only one on the team taller that 5ft 7in, and she was a great rebounder for us. She was also a great comic relief. She always had something witty to say. I loved all of these girls, it was so fun to watch and get to know them and I am so proud of all of them for working so hard and getting that banner!! They really deserved it!!
Now I want to say that I think that Coach Kent is the greatest coach in the world. Not only did he give me a great experience to let me come in and be an assistant coach, but he put so much time and effort into training these girls to be ready for whatever they came up against. He really cares about the girls and he know the game better than anyone I have ever met.

This is a picture of Coach Kent's wife Belinda, oldest daughter Lacey and her kids, Whitney and I. These Women are angles to me. They made in possible for me to take Whitney to every game because they would watch her. I love them so much they are really what made it possible for me to be a part of this. And I have to mention that Lacey drove from Mountain home to all of the girls games this year.

This is a picture of Coach Kent and the Starters. Starting on the left is Tiny, then Sasha, Michelle, Coach Kent, Lea, and cute pie Mirium.

Coaches Paul Elston, Janet Marquez, and Steve Kent. Elston was so good, he kept the books at all the games and scouted a lot of the teams to prepare us for State.

Here is the whole team, JV and Varsity (I love my JV girls)!!
Front row:Janet, Denise, Blakely, and Shelby
Back Row:Heidi, Beanna, Tiny, Shasha, Michelle, Coach Kent, Lea, Mirium, Taunie, Kaylee.

This was a nice surprise! David my brother, Mollie my sister, Berny my man, and Candace my Buddie, all came to the game. The cool part is that Candace is on a mission in Boise right now and her mission President let her come to the game because he is a huge basketball fan. So I was pretty surprised to see her!!

This is a picture of the girls in uniform right after they won the game and got their banner!!

There it is the big enchilada. And it will be the second one that Coach Kent has gotten since he started coach in Richfield.
