Lydia Alice is 4...

 Lydia was so excited for her birthday this year.  We counted it down for weeks!  She wanted a Pinkie Pie birthday party and it was such a fun one to plan.  Her friends came over and colored, designed their own My Little Pony and ate rainbow cupcakes with bubble gum frosting.  What more could a little girl ask for?  Oh yeah, her own high-heels!  Lydia was SO excited for those!!

Baby Dude...

 We had to go down (in the FREEZING wind) and see the new baby camel Dude.  He was only a few weeks old here.  He was quite friendly, except when Lydia got behind him and she got kicked, but after she got over the shock of what just happened she was back to petting him again.

Freestyle State Wrestling 2013 ...

 Jake and I took Anthony over to the state tournament in Nampa again this year.  He wrestled well in his matches and got some good experience. He ended up getting 3rd in both Greco and Freestyle.  He still has a lot to learn, but he has done really well this year and has gotten better each time he goes out on the mat.  We are super proud of the things he was able to do this year.

Intermountain Champion 2013 ...

 Intermountain Champion 2012, light weights Bantam! Anthony was finally awarded the trophy he earned last year by placing 1st in 2 different tournaments, one in Utah and one here at Bonneville to get enough points to win the trophy series. He wrestled so hard at both tournaments and had no idea he had been awarded the trophy until they presented it to him in Salt Lake City.  We are so proud of him!

Easter Egg Hunt...

 The Easter Bunny came on Saturday morning and the kids were so excited to follow their jelly bean trail from their room to their baskets.  Love that silly Easter Bunny!  Then it was off to the Ucon Easter Egg Hunt for 3 of the kids and Anthony headed to a wrestling tournament.  The kids had fun once again collecting as many eggs as they could, which is not many because we have SO many people come to our Hunt.  Fun times!

Jenine & Jeral #40...

 We threw a surprise party for the Williams' 40th wedding Anniversary.  Jessica did so much work to get it all together and it was so worth it.  It was a very fun evening.  Jessica had gotten sticky mustaches for all the boys to wear and it was so fun being together.  We had 'cafe rio' burritos, nachos, pies and ice-cream.  It was a great way to celebrate their wedding anniversary!

My little helper...

 Jenna is always helping me with Owen.  I was so glad I had my camera in my hands as I watched Owen come up to Jenna and ask her to put his coat on him.  She gladly helped out.  I hope she is always this helpful!

Dying Easter Eggs...

 The tradition of dying Easter Eggs gets more fun as the kids get older.  They have more fun doing it and can last a lot longer, making the mess and clean up easier to handle.  They sure had fun with the 'neon' colors we did this year.  They sat there for about an hour dying and re-dying the Easter Eggs!  Fun!!

Jenna's Dance competition...

 Jenna has really loved clogging this year.  Part of that love was when she got to go and 'compete' in Pocatello, on a big stage and get a medal!  She was so happy to get her very first medal.  They ended up taking 1st place in their age division and were SO cute!
