The Little Red Hen
Our Elementary school has a tradition of the first graders performing in the play "The Little Red Hen". Because of budget cuts and class size reduction being cut the teachers felt like there were just too many students to put the play on as part of their regular curriculum. With so much too learn...the "fun" stuff has to be eliminated. However Mrs. Kovaleski did not want these first graders to miss out so she offered the play as an afterschool activity. We are so happy she provided this opportunity to our Meredith! Luckily one of her best buddies is Mrs. K's son!
Meredith auditioned and got the part of Bob the Pig! She did a great job!
When the Little Red Hen asked her to help plant, water and pick the wheat "Bob the Pig" sang..."The job's too big" said Bob the Pig "The job is just to big! Oink"
She did a great job and had so much fun!
Take a bow!
Here is Meredith with two of her favorite friends Abigail and Luke!
Our thanks goes to Mrs. Kovaleski! She was the director and workhorse behind this play! We were lucky to have her as Madalyn and Trevor's first grade teacher. She also had Trevor for second grade. Maybe we will get lucky and have her as a teacher next year for Meredith in second grade!

Pre-Dance (semi-birthday) Party!
In our house the kids get to have a big "friend" party every other year. This was an "off" year for Mackenzie. Since her birthday was on the same day as the RSM Dance I suggested she have a few friends over for a "pre-dance" party.
A few of her closest friends (about 30 of them) descended on our home last night!
We decorated with a Valentine theme and set the mood:
They jumped on the trampoline:
Played Wii Sport Resort:
Posed for pictures:
Honored Mackenzie with a crown and "Happy Birthday" song:
Just hung out and acted like silly teenagers:
Before everyone departed for the dance I took a group shot of all who were there. Our small gathering of a few friends ended up looking like this: (and this is not even close to all her friends)
Happy 15th Birthday Mackenzie!!!!!

Happy 15th Birthday Mackenzie!!!
Jump for Joy...its MACKENZIE'S 15th birthday!
Just think in six months you will start learning to drive and in one year you will be able to date- yikes! But for now let's just enjoy the moment and time when you turn 15 and do not have to worry about all that! You have brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. You may be a drama queen, but we love how strong, independent, and motivated you are!
Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl (aka..Kenzerbug)!

Meredith's birthday celebrations!
Meredith started her birthday weekend with mom bringing her lunch from McDonalds at school. In the evening she celebrated at Farrell's with a carmel sundae! She loved standing on the chairs and having everyone sing her her!
Saturday was her friend "baking themed" party.
Each girl got these darling aprons when they arrived. We made homemade strawberry freezer jam:
The girls made their own lunch (pb&j sandwiches with their homemade jam):
They played some classic games, jumped on the trampoline, decorated cupcakes and opened presents:
These are a bunch of great girls! There were so many more that Meredith wanted to invite, but unfortunately I could not handle 30+ girls. She sure has a lot of friends!
On Sunday we celebrated her birthday with the family. She got "Twinkle Toes" by Sketchers from Grandpa and Grandma Wright. She has wanted these shoes so badly and was so excited to finally get a pair!
The kids loved the blue frosting!
Our gift to her was the rip rider:

Happy 7th Birthday Meredith!
This cute thing turns 7 on the 7th of January! It is her golden birthday!
I love this sassy picture of her. It shows her sweet side and her sassy side. Meredith came into our lives unexpectedly and very early. She was our SURPRISE baby. What a wonderful surprise she has become! She is a girl who is helpful, compassionate, funny, loving, snuggly, eager to learn and has captured all of our hearts. She loves all things snuggly (stuffed animals), men, helping others, reading, riding her bike, jumping on the trampoline and her baby dolls.
WE LOVE YOU MAE MAE....HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy New Year with a Special Baptism
On Saturday 1/11/2011 at 11:00 a.m. we were lucky enough to be in this City (Logan, Ut):
For the baptism of Danielle's step-brother-in-law Andrew:
Andrew and Lisa have been married for many years and have three beautiful children. Lisa was born and raised in the church, but Andrew was not. He had a few word of wisdom issues and just was not sure if the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was really the true church. Back in October when he and his family drove down for Scooter's mission farewell he started really pondering the truthfulness of the gospel. He was really intrigued by our belief in eternal families. Well after meeting with the missionaries and taking discussions he decided to be baptised! What wonderful news for the entire family! Richard and his family drove all the way from South Carolina to be part of this special day! Richard figured out that the entire family added up traveled over 25,000 miles for this special day.
We are excited to watch him and his family grow in the gospel and recieve all the blessings that are waiting for him. This family already has a date to be sealed for time and all eternity together in the SLC Temple next year.
Here is a picture of the family (minus Mackenzie, Deeanna and Scooter). Mackenzie flew home from Utah early for a dance.
