Hailey's First Prom!

Hailey's cousin Madlyn invited her down to her prom.  We were in Hawaii (I'll post about that soon) so Grandpa drove her down so she could have her special weekend.  We able to go shopping before we left but she ended up stopping in Layton to get a smaller sized dress.  Grandpa had to take her for a COVID test too.  What a nice thing he did for her!

 They had so much fun and Abbey (Bryce's Abbey) came up to do the girls hair.  Here are some fun pictures from the night.

Caleb Got Glasses

 Caleb hid his eye problems for as long as he could. :) But, he mistakenly told one of the older kids he needed to have his eyes checked.  So I took him in.  He was a -2 in one eye.  That's pretty bad for not having glasses.  Poor kid!  He has loved being able to see.  But he was worried about what people would say when he went to school.

Everyone said he looked like Harry Potter, so he was pretty happy.  He picked those glasses so he would look like him.  He even drew a scar on his forehead for the first couple days :)  What a cute kid!

Jackson and Brayden got contacts last summer.  I think I forgot to post because they didn't look any different!  So, all of us have glasses.  Conrad's a mostly for reading though.

Conrad is 15!

Happy Birthday, Conrad!  I can't believe we've got two kids nearing adulthood.  It has gone so fast these past five years.  Our kids are really growing up!

Conrad's birthday was the day before Easter, so he got his gifts and Easter basket all in one day.  He wanted to go fishing, so Bo took him floating on the South Fork with Mac and Brian.  He caught a cool cutthroat. 

We celebrated later in the day with my parents and Earle.  It was a fun day.  Conrad got a bunch of fishing stuff.  He wanted me to note here that he got 29 waist fishing pants for his birthday, and they were too big.  He is getting taller but still really skinny.  He is 5' 8" and 96 pounds.

Here is some pic:

Conrad's favorites at 15 are:

Fishing

Baseball Braves

Floating

Driving (almost has his license)

Spiderman ( because he's looking at his old pics)

We love:

How responsible he is

The peacemaker he is

Watching him play baseball

Driving around with him

being outdoors with him (if it's nice)

How mature he's getting

He's just a good kid

We are so blessed to have you in our family! Thanks for being such a great example to all the younger boys.  You are someone they can look up to.  Keep growing up to be the great man we know you are!

Easter 2021

Easter was a hit again this year!  The kids got some fun gifts from the Easter Bunny, and He hid them really well this year!

 We dyed eggs on Sunday this year.  I missed Caleb's.  Sorry, Caleb!

Hailey Got a Big Solo for Troylairs!

 Hailey has worked so hard on her voice the past year.  We haven't had much opportunity to hear her sing in public.  It was so fun to see her perform this song.  Way to go Hailey.  All that hard work is paying off.
