Grandma's Trip to Utah and Idaho

I know it has been forever since I have posted on my Blog. So here are a few highlitghts from our trip to Utah and Idaho in July.  Amanda was at the BYU dance camp for two weeks and the girls have a performance after their two weeks of dancing all day.  So, Erica, Ashley and I flew out to watch her perform.  Amy and her family came down to Farmington where Katie and Alex live, so all of the girls were together.  On Thursday we went shopping at the City Creek Mall, which I thought was a really nice improvement.  Here is a result of our shopping trip.

The Wilkes had a fun event in their family this year a fifth addition to their family little Trevin.  (Excuse me he was almost 10 lbs., so not so little)  Here is Katelyn  and Tough Trey and mommy holding little Treven.

Update on Grama Lene's Grandkids

I know I have not posted on my blog for a long time.  Only excuse is I use Facebook some to keep up with my growing family, however I decided I wanted to post some pictures of my grandkids.  So here goes.  Below is our Amazing Amanda performing in the Nutcracker.

Bad Hair In Idaho

                                                                                 

I know the wind blows all the time in Idaho so maybe that is why Katelyn, Lizzie and Trey's hair all look so funny.  Or maybe it is the water in Idaho.  Actually it was spirit week at school and all of the kids were supposed to come to school with a weird hairdo.  I think the Wilkes kids should have won the prize because those are really some weird hairdos.  Good job mom.

Cute Story

"I had to post this concerning Trey, who is 6 in December.  The Wilkes children, Katelyn, Lizzie and Trey were discussing swear words one day while driving in the car.  Katelyn and Lizzie were patiently explaining to little brother Trey that the word Dam is a swear word, unless you use it as in the Hoover Dam.  A lengthy explanation went into explaining it was okay to say Hoover Dam but not just the word dam.  They had been to see Hoover Dam this summer.  A few days later at the dinner table as Amy is trying to get the food on the table, Trey pipes up and says, 'Mom hurry up I am Hoover Dam hungry.'  Oh out of the mouths of babes."

Dance!

I love watching my girls dance. It brings me such peace and joy! So greatful to the instructors at Branchville Dance Centre who have been able to pass their talents and love of Dance on to my daughters!

Here are some dances that my girls performed and competed in this year!

If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things!
