Samantha and Alex Prom

So I am seriously considering asking the prophet to consider

that kids can date either at 16 or they have to be a Junior

which ever is the latest. Can't believe Samantha was

asked to Prom. He did it in a cute way. He came to the

house while she was not quite home from school (another one

of Samantha's girlfriends was with him) and he put a note

on the stairs and then a trail of bananas down the stairs leading

to her bedroom where he waited for her with a rose.

The next day she had Alex's Spanish teacher tell him the

banana knock knock joke and then at the end say

"Aren't you glad Sam said yes!" and gave him a cute

bag full of oranges with candy kisses.

The day began with goofy golfing and go-cart riding.

Then dropped the girls off to get ready.

They then went to Brick Oven to dinner and then off

to Sun Dance Ski Resort for the dance.

Samantha said that she had a ball because Alex

was such a fun date. She told me that he whispered to her

"Thank you for wearing a modest dress" which she was

thrilled. The dress luckily was borrowed from a good

friend with two older sisters. Can you believe

prom dresses go for $200-$400 for just one night

crazy!!

Flooded Basement

So on Easter Sunday while we were in Arizona two of our neighbors

and my brother, Jared called because our basement had

flooded. The secondary water came on and one of our

valves had suck open. There was about 1 inch of water in the

basement. So these pictures do not even do it justice as to the

mess we have been in for over two weeks. The first day or two there

were approximately 25 heated fans in the basement.

We are working on getting it covered by the insurance

We will see!

Dad's Headstone

We were able to stop in Snowflake and see dad's headstone.

Jared drew the pictures of the mountain landscape.

I think that it looks wonderful. Would like to

possibly plant a mini pine tree close.

Spring Break in Fountain Hills, AZ

Matt's brother, Alan, works for a hotel and he was able

to get us some cheap nights at this resort in Fountain Hills.

It was awesome. We had soo much fun just resting, swimming

and seeing the city. A much needed break.

Spring Break in Arizona

This is were the girls and the cousins would lay out to get

some sun inbetween coloring easter eggs.

My Weirdo Husband

This is my goodlooking husband with his goatee.

He loved it because he thought it covered up his fat chin.

One Sunday for his lesson (he use to teach the Priests) he shaved

half of it off and left half (ugly).

He then asked the priest if they are one way on Sunday and would

turn his head and then

another way the rest of the week and would turn

his head. The boys actually really liked it, but I had

more comments about it from the other priesthood leadership

because he wore it that way to church. What a heathen.

Busy, Busy Samantha

This is Samantha with one of her best friends, Ericka Hales.

Sam played basketball for the Maple Mountain Eagls and Ericka played

on Spanish Fork Dons team. They would battle hard against each other

during the game but then when they were finished they would

share their dinners with each other.

People could not believe that Samantha played basketball

as well because they all think she is a girly girl!

Samantha had a Child Growth and Development class this semester.

Matt and I were out of town when she had the assignment to

tend this baby that was programed to cry and need things. It was

hooked up to a bracelet that she had to wear and she had

to take care of the baby's ever needs and if it was not tended to

properly they could see from the download they would do on Monday

at school and she would either pass or fail the test.

When we got home we ask how it was and she stated that it was

horrible that the baby was crying all night and that they

couldn't even go to church (right, we thought)

Then on Monday at school the teacher realized that she had

sinked the wrong doll to Samanth's wrist band. No wonder

changing and feeding did not make it stop crying.

It was a great eye opener for Samantha because

she was hammered. It was funny! Love ya man!
