16 ALREADY

Colton turned 16 on July 2nd. It's hard to believe that all that time has gone by. Now all the fun begins!! Driving & Dating! He didn't really want to do much for his birthday. He had his good friend Gage and I guess girlfriend Adrianna over. They just hung out and we took them to dinner at the Lone Star Steakhouse. On the 7th he was able to pass his drivers test and go pick up his license the next morning. He has had a perma grin ever since!!

TELL YOUR CHILDREN YOU LOVE THEM

There has been some sadness this week and it just reminds me of how blessed I am to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. Please keep this family in your prayers and remember to hug your kids tight and tell them that you love them!! www.sadiehuish.blogspot.com

BOYS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

A couple Saturdays ago Heiko went out shooting with a friend. He took Colton and his cousin Daniel with him. They love the guns and always have a great time

Shooting clay pigeons

Then the next weekend grandpa took Colton, Austin and their cousin Matt four wheeling. YES it rained and YES it was muddy. They LOVED it!! Thank you grandpa :)

WAX MUSEUM

Austin grade held a wax museum at school.
He was Abraham Lincoln.
He was so excited to do this.
I think this is soooo cute!!

MEMORIAL WEEKEND

For Memorial Day weekend we went to St. George to visit my brother and his family. They had a new baby girl about 5 weeks ago so we were so excited to see her. We had a great time. Of course we held the baby A LOT!! We just hung out and visited. The kids played wii( we don't have one so they loved it) we took them swimming and they got very dirty in the sandbox. We also went to a museum there. Thanks Michael,Julie, Brylie, Cody & Sadie for a great weekend!

MORE CATCHING UP

Every year our wards young women hold an auction to raise money for their girls camp.
The girls have to participate in the auction to have their camp paid for.
Aysia has learned how to make these german fruit tortes from her Oma and her dad
and they have been a big hit at the auctions so she made 4 cakes for this years auction

YUMMY!!

Kiwi and Strawberry, plain strawberry and pineapple with mandarin oranges

Aysia's birthday was May 8th.
It's hard to believe that she is 14!!!
She decided that she wanted to invite her cousins and go to Jump On It since she loves to jump on the trampoline. We had a lot of fun. After that we went and had shakes and food at the Purple Turtle. It was a great night

We are so proud of Aysia. She earned the Lion Of The Quarter award at school. This is the highest award they give. Six students are chosen from each grade who they feel deserve the award and then all the teachers have to vote on it. If even one teacher feels the student does not deserve the award then they don't get it. She was suprised that she earned it but she is a very good student and tries to do her best at school
Way to go Aysia!!!!!
