Oh Josh!!

Josh is a graduate! That's right.... from pre-school. They had an adorable program and Josh kept the entire audience entertained (his parents were just acting like they didn't know who's kid that was). So let's play a little game.... you look at the pictures and then vote for what you think Joshua's "senior personality" will be.

a. Most likey to succeed

b. biggest introvert

c. Most athletic

or

d. CLASS CLOWN

This one's a toughy!

We've been busy!

I seem to be getting worse at this whole blogging thing. But for those of you that just can't live without a Sanderson update, you're in luck. I'm back (for how long, no one knows).

Yes, we've been busy. We just got back from a week in Lake Powell with Gregg's family. FINALLY... a tan! We had a great time but forgot our camera. I will get pics up when I steal some from my sister in law.

Baseball season is over and it ended with some tears. Our team went to the championship game and lost by one run. They were such a "Cinderella Story". The other team was undefeated and a bit cocky (to say it nicely). They expected to come and wipe the floor with us. We gave them a serious game. There was real ball played on that field. When it was over, a few of the boys (yep, Spencer too) were crying. Not one was crying over the loss. They were crying because they knew this was the last time they would play as a team. They are all old enough to go to the draft next year. It has been a GREAT 3 years with this team.

Memorial Day was great! We had my brother and his wife and my mom in town. My mom is amazing!!! Spencer has a "beach room" and wanted some palm trees and a sun painted on his wall. So, mom was hard at work all day. It looks fantastic.

We decided Allie was finally old enough to go into a big girl bed. Ok, maybe we are about a year and a half late with this, but she's the third and I've gotten lazy. So, she is very proud of her cute room (another room my mom painted with fairys for her when she was a baby).

Gregg competed in a mountain bike race with some of his hard-core biking buddies. He placed FIFTH! To say the least, we were proud!

We are getting ready to say goodbye to another school year. That's right, we aren't done yet because of the year round schedule here. So, summer is just on the horizon and we are SOOOO excited! Next up, Uncle Brians wedding in St. George.

He may just be the next Motzart. Then again, maybe I'm just his mom!

Spencer has been hard at work for the past year with piano lessons. He has gotten so good and actually really enjoys it. We never really have to fight about practicing or going to lessons. He was the one that begged us for a year to start taking lessons. Now he seems to really enjoy it. He had his first recital last night. He was SO nervous before the recital. I told him to sit down and practice the song a couple times. He COULD NOT remember it or play it right. Well, like a pro, he pulled it out at the recital (must admit, we were a bit nervous). He did it perfectly! Gregg and I asked him if he was even nervous when he got up there because he didn't look it at all. He said, "I was a little nervous sitting there waiting for my turn. But then I got up there and thought.... well, I'm here. I guess I'll just play the piece". He's such a stud!

SUPRISE!!!!

About 2 weeks ago we woke the kids up early in the morning and said, "hey, you know what would be a fun thing to do today?..... GO TO DISNEYLAND!!!" Let's just say, the reaction was my FAVORITE part of the trip!!

Let the games begin

We are in to the spring sports season! Joshua is trying out soccer for the first time. Let's just say, the kids got game! He's awesome out there. He really loves playing and has 2 of his best buddies on his team. Go Blue Shark Dragons!! Kid you not.... that's the name of the team. They let the kids pick!

Spencer is playing baseball with his team again. They are doing great and Spenc is loving it. These boys are so awesome! They are all such great friends and they all adore one another. It has been such a great experience for the kids to play together for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, things get serious starting next year. They have to try out for teams and go into the "draft". Why???!!!! These kids just want to stay together. So, needless to say we are "drinking in" the experience of this last year. They are in second place right now and working hard. Go Rays!

Welcome Spring!

So, it's been a while. I know you must be dying to know what we've been up to. So, here's a quick recap.....

Spencer went to his first concert. DAVID ARCHULETTA! His friend Ben invited him to go see it in Idaho Falls so we (kids and Shannon and I) drove up to I.F. on March 20th for the big event. He was fantastic and we were in the 4th row. Great seats. Great music. Lots of fun.

We've started soccer and baseball. So basically we are up to some type of practice or game EVERY day! Josh had never even seen a soccer ball. Scored two goals his first game. What can I say, the kids got game! Spenc has reunited with his baseball team from last year. They had such a great season and SOOOO much fun. I'm so glad the kids were able to stay together!

We are enjoying seeing the blooms on the trees and flowers starting to spring up from the ground. Enough of the winter! Easter was wonderful today and we got to enjoy all the fun that goes along with it..... baskets, eggs, church, music, family and food. Cousins Alex, Kelly and Katie came over for Easter and we got to enjoy some great music compliments of Alex. Amazing really!

Gregg was called as the ward executive secretarty today and I as Relief Society teacher (still in scouts). We couldn't believe it.... Gregg is out of Young Mens for the first time in 8 years!! He's really excited to work with our amazing bishop and his councelors. I did tell him that it's time to learn to text!

We hope you are all doing well and enjoyed a wonderful and happy Easter!!!
