Life at the Larson household

Life has been crazy the last few months with baseball season, the girls dance and family camping trips, the summer has not even started yet, we still have two big trips planned one to Bear lake in July, and Lake Powell in August, we have already been to the Sand Dunes twice Flaming Gorge over Memorial weekend, ans we just got back from a family reunion up in Midway.

Hunter baseball went fairly well it was his first year in kid pitch and he got to pitch a couple innings this year so that was fun to watch, the girls just finished up dance for the summer, Makena dance group took second at the competion they went to we were so proud of her.

I will post some picutres of what we have been up to latley, and Hunters baseball, I do not have any of the girls dance because the battery died in my camera during their recital

Twilight Madness

Last night I braved the crowds at the Walmart in Riverton, me and Makena got there at 7pm the party was not starting until 10pm anyway we were like the 70th people in line it was awsome and worth the four hour wait, we won t-shirts and other great stuff for awnsering questions about the books, we got our stuff signed by Rachelle Lefevre( victoria) she was awsome, the thing that made me mad is that people kept butting in line and we had to get mad at them, it was fun, we got home around 12:30 it is a night I wont forget, just wish that Rob could have been there but it was still great to see a cast member and get their autograph she sighned my twilight book so cool, I will have to take some pics of me and makena in our t-shirts

sometime today since I forgot to take some there

A Funeral
Well today was a sad day in our house, Ashlee went to get our hamster out of his cage and what do you know he was stiff as a board and not moving, so I held a funeral in the front yard for him and buried him by a rock in our flower bed, I was surprised that they did not cry, they said they are sad, and they asked can we get a new one,my awnser was no because then I would end up feeding it and cleaning it;s cage, their awnser was no we will do it, yeah I've heard that one before, maybe sometime down the road we will get another one but for now my awnser is no!!!!

Hunter's Jr Jazz Game

Life since Christmas

Life at our home has been hectic with the kids off track, and one in Junior High, I did not take any pictures on Christmas I know bad, but my camera died and Makena's battery was dead on hers, so we just bought a new camera and now I download pictures again. Hunter started Jr Jazz and that has been fun watching him play we decided to play him up a year this time so Brett could coach with his brother Clint, so Hunter is playing with the second graders and of course he is the smallest out there, I will post some pictures at the end, Now the kids are all back in school and maybe I can keep the house clean while they are at school, the kids have been enjoying the DDR and outdoor challenge we got for christmas for the wii, I even tried it its great excersise. I have stayed busy with my church callings we are in the middle of basketball season, it has been fun watching Makena play this year since she is in Young Womens, I need to take some pictures of her this week playing, I've also been trying to get stuff ready for Girls camp even though we are not going till July, we have a kick off coming up in Feb so I have to get their folders ready for them, so I am busy with that. Brett has been working hard at work and he plays in a basketball leauge on Monday Nights, and he also plays on the ward team on thursday night's, He just found out he drew out for turkey's again this year so come April he will be gone Turkey Hunting, that has been our life since Christmas
