go jazz!

For participating in Junior Jazz this year, Zach got 2 tickets to the Jazz/Pistons game last week. He decided to take Steve (phew!) and they had a fantastic time eating out, taking the Trax downtown and seeing Al Jefferson (Zach's Junior Jazz number) hit a three pointer at the buzzer. Sure love these boys!!!

a post for Annie...

As Annie and I were looking at our blog posts from the year so far, we noticed that she was missing from almost every single one of them. Guess it's hard when you're not 16 and can't date, ask dates to dances, go to said dances, and everything in between, which is about all that I have posted about since January! So, in honor of my middle child, the apple of my eye, the honey to my bee, the Louisiana to my Mississippi, and the Conway to my Twitty...here are a bunch of cute pictures of my sweet Annie-boo.

Prom FEVER!

It's been a busy week getting these kids ready for Prom, but SO much fun!! Alex asked a cute girl from work and Megan got asked by a Junior that she goes to Copper Hills with. Enjoy the pictures!

Bounce Houses for a day date

Love him!

Love her!

We're so glad that Lindsey knows how to do such pretty hair!

Alex and Karlissa

Megan and Bailey

Could this corsage BE any more beautiful?

The whole group

the "almost" fieldtrip

Nothing was harder for my 4 year old boy than to hear that the firestation fieldtrip had to be canceled. We went there (in the BITTER cold...) and knocked and knocked and knocked on the firestation door but no one was there. The firemen were probably out on a call or something. Taylor had been looking SO forward to it. Dang. It's been rescheduled but I think I will just surprise him and take him there that morning...just in case...

a dad/son weekend...

For Christmas, Steve gave Alex a trip to Vegas to see BYU play in the WCC tournament. With the Orleans arena being so small, there weren't enough tickets available. So instead, he took Alex down to St. George for a fun getaway weekend. I am blogging this for them---according to the report, it couldn't have been more fun. I am blessed to have a husband who has such a special relationship with our eldest son. They talked BYU, missions, college and everything in between. How I love these two boys....

1st stop...Quail Creek and Sand Hollow St. Parks

My son is too cool...

Hiking the trails in Zions

mmmmm...Golden Corral

They went and saw the movie "Chronicle"

Here's to many more dad/son weekends!!!

sheesh...someone's asking, someone's answering...

Two kids will be heading off to Copper Hills' Prom this year. Alex got his answer last week and Megan got asked and will answer her date this week as well. This "having teenagers" part of my life is awesome!!!

Alex's answer from Karlissa


A very unexpected date to prom...


Megan answered Bailey using Lindsey's cute idea...

Asking to Prom...

Alex decided to ask a girl from Maceys to go to Copper Hills Prom with him. She goes to Taylorsville and their Prom isn't for another few months so I bet it was a HUGE surprise to her when Zach and Taylor showed up at her front door with these balloons. On the end of each balloon was a letter (ALEX LARSEN) that she'd have to unscramble. I guess we'll see if she ever answers him...hopefully she was able to figure it out. I always get nervous about things like this.
