The Boutique is this saturday. If you need directions or a flier let me know. Here are a few sneak peak pics of some more items!

Preschool Farm Field Trip

Hailey was so excited for her preschool farm field trip. They went to the farm, which surprisngly she didn't care for this year...I guess it was too dirty for her. Then they had an Easter Egg Hunt nad lunch. She had a great time!

Diving Board

HEre is video of Hailey jumping off the diving board at swimming lessons. she has done it twice now. I am so proud of her. I know it takes forever before she goes but the teacher told her to wait since tons of kids kept swimming by. Enjoy. I am so proud of her and they are learning to dive too. Go swimmer Hailey!

Signs of Spring

It may be coming... today we did get to go out side. blow bubbles, play ball, draw with chalk, and go the park...we hope it stays this way....

Happy Birthday to the Worlds Best Dad & Husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have to give a huge shout out to Jared. Happy 30th Birthday Daddy! We love Jared so much. He is the best Dad and works so hard for our family. I have to say he is the best husband too. We hope you know how much we love and appreciate you. Happy Birthday Jared!

Bingo Anyone???

Apparently Hailey wanted to play Bingo and she didn't have anyone to play with her. So she improvised! I love her imagination...they even got prizes for bingos! LOve you Hailey!

Happy Easter 2010

Hailey was super excited when she looked down the stairs and saw Easter eggs. She couldn't get Jared and I up fast enough. She was super excited to see that the Easter bunny did come. And of course Geerta wasn't forgotten either...i was notified at the last min that the bunny does visit Geerta...I was lucky enough to pull it off. The best thing though was when Hailey told me that the Easter Bunny visits kids who are good....however she said, "Aunt Jennie hasn't been nice to Geerta so the bunny won't visit her! " Ha ha Aunt Jennie.../you better start showing Geerta some love! Needless to say we had a nice relaxing day at home and Hope you had a Happy Easter too! Sorry the pics aren't out of order.

I think she was most excited about this webkins!

or maybe the Puppy in my pocket friends!

Hailey thought it was so funny the Easter Bunny left her a carrot bat and ball!

Grandma Lems Egg Hunt

On Saturday night we went over to Grandma & Grandpa Lems. Grandma bought us all a yummy dinner of Cafe Rio for the adults and Wendys for the kids. Before Dinner she had a small egg hunt for the kids. They each had a certain color eggs to find and loved it! The best part was the dollar bills they found inside the eggs! After the boys went to Priesthood Session Grandma took us all to get a new pair of flip flops. Thanks Grandma & Grandma Lems.

Easter palooza

Today we were invited to go have lunch with some of my cousins and an egg hunt. We had a great time and Hailey enjoyed making new friends with my cousins wifes sisters kids...that was too confusing. Needless to say I hope they invite us again next year. It was good times!

Citizens Police Academy Graduation

On Thurday night I became an official graduation of the West Jordan Citizens Police Academy. Its hard to believe its been twelve weeks since I posted this about my excitment of the class I was just starting. I have looked forward to Thursday nights and attending my class the past few months. I am sad its already come to an end. It has been a great experience for me. I have learned many new things and I have a new love and appreciate for the police force and what they do for us. I enjoying participating in many real life experiences similar to what our officers do. I enjoyed going to a shooting range and firing a gun for my first time, seeing the insides of the Salt Lake County Jail, touring the center where all calls are first taken, learning about the various things police officers train in and do, riding along with an officer on duty, and probably the most real life changing scenario of clearing out a building with shooters inside. I had to step out of my comfort zone to try some of these things but they are experience I woudn't have had if I didn't. The class was awesome and I highly recommend it to everyone. On Graduation Day we got a certificate, a polo shirt and nice glass cup. I got to bring Hailey and Jared and it was fun to let them see a glimpse of where I have been going for the past few months. It was a great celebration in deed. After compeleting the course you can apply to the VIPS program., which is Volunteering In Policing Service. I signed up and it may take a few months as the process to get volunteers is slow, however hopefully soon I will be able to dedicate some of my time to help the West Jordan Police Department. I look forward to serving those who dedicate their lives to serve us!
