Mikells graduated from High School! WHO KNEW?!!

I must admit, and sorry to all of the other Beus sisters. Mikell probably has us all in the brains department, -at least as far as school stuff goes.- I am so proud of her, she just graduated Fremont High yesterday and recieved a scholarship to Snow College. Brains and Beauty; watch out college boys! Love ya Kell!

Baptism Day for Haden

I only got one picture on the actual baptism day, but it really was a special day for Haden and for our whole family. Thanks to everyone who helped make it so great. And thanks Shannon for the special book, everyone there wrote a message to Haden and shared their testimonies in it. I am sure he will treasure it forever. These are the baptism pictures Jen took. Haden doesn't love photo shoots, the only way we could keep him interested was to let him pull a few funny faces. We are so proud of ya buddy.

Dance Recital Time

Halle and Bailee had so much fun in their dance classes this year. They both have looked forward to this recital all year so they could dance on the stage. It was a lot of fun, Halle loves to dance and she did a great job, she was really excited because her teacher put Halle and Belle doing the splits in their routine. The highlight of the night was when the dancers all came out a took their bows and backed up to the back of the stage so their teacher could come up on stage to and say a few words, Bailee took that as an opportunity to strut her stuff. She got out in the middle of the stage and started dancing her little heart out, even throwing in some break dance moves that I have no idea where she learned. We all had a good laugh. Shane and I often wonder where she came from because both of us were so shy when we were young, Bailee doesn't have a bashful bone in her body.

Eight years old!

What was I thinking having 3 out of my 4 kids birthdays all within a three week period. It was a crazy month. Haden is now 8 years old, he got a sleep over with his friends and then the next day I took the cousins to Surf-n-Swim. It was such a fun day. Haden asked for the usual basketball stuff for his birthday, but I have to hand it to Molly for getting him his favorite present, a poster of him playing basketball. He was so excited, as soon as he opened it he said, "Mom, where's a sharpie? I need to sign it." We love ya Haden.

Bailee's now THREE!

We love our Bailee girl! For her birthday this year she sort of made up her own theme, everything she asked for was with pink sparkles. She wanted to get her nails done, pink sparkly. She begged for a pink sparkly ball and pink sparkly tutu. We had a salon party this year, her and her cousins got to get their nails, hair, and makeup done, everything done in, of course, pink sparkles. Bailee was in heaven.

Avery's 1st birthday!

My baby's growing up! Avery is such a good little girl and so much fun to have around. We had a little party for her on her birthday with the family and she loved every minute of it. We gave her her cupcake to eat and thought that she would just go crazy with it getting it everywhere, but Avery hardly even tasted it herself she just picked out little pieces with her fingers and put it in Halle and Bailee's mouths. What a good little sister.
