Wrestling

I just found this pic from Wrestling season and wanted to make sure and post . Dalton got back into wrestling this year and really liked it! I hope he will continue because Dalton is perfect for this sport! He is so tiny, but so strong!

Plain City Elementary 5th Grade Program

The 5th grade at PCE had their traditional program last month. Mr. Keefer taught the kids to dance and the Ty had so much fun learning some moves! It was a 50's theme - the kids looked so cute! At the end, they chose someone from the audience to dance with. Ty chose Kate and they had so much fun! I was so proud of Ty for giving the dancing a chance - he really liked it!

BASEBALL HAS BEGUN!!!!

Ty's team played in the first baseball tournament of the year in St. George this past weekend. They were a bit rusty from the Winter, but they had a good time. Ty is still playing for Shock Baseball (formerly Weber). The coaches are great and he loves the boys he plays with. They will be playing 4 games a week soon!

The weather in St. George was not too great, but we managed to hit the park one day, swim and watch a lot of ball from the car. The boys even got to sleep over with Carson one night! Kate has been so excited for baseball season to start - she says she wants "grass games"!! She doesn't care much for basketball!

BASKETBALL 2010

Dalton's team took second place at County! Go Plain City!

Ty's team had a great year with a undefeated regular season! He loves to play!

The boys have had such a fun winter skiing this year. Ty is a skier and Dalton is a boarder. Ty had the Utah 5th Grade Passport, so he was able to for free! It was great! Ty and his best friend Kade went a lot together and had such a great time.

Dalton got a snowboard for an early Birthday present - I can't believe how well he does already! I have taken them a few times and they are already better than me! I was so grateful to get through the ski season with no broken bones for any of us!!

I think it's time we pay a formal tribute to Dalton's home away from home...the Douglas'! Dalton spends countless days and overnights at the Douglas' where he is very much loved!! Dalton's cousin Preston spends a lot of time there too! Wendy, Troy, Jazz and Jake are so much fun. Thanks for everything you do for Dalton! We love you guys! (Especially Kate)

This is Dalton, Preston and Jake at the Douglas' New Years Eve Extravaganza!!

Ty's 11th Birthday!!

I cannot believe Ty is eleven! In the midst of the holiday season, we had a big party for Ty with all his buddies. They played Wii, pictionary and watched Mall Cop. He was so excited!

We always spend Christmas day with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson. Grandma Ann came over this year and it was good to visit with her too! We ate with the whole family and the kids were able to play with all their cousins. Dalton got a magician set, Ty got a hunting vest and Kate got a new baby and stroller. They also gave us some games for our family! Later in the day, both sets of grandparents came out to see what Santa brought the kids. They love showing it all off. We played our new game (Scategories - Ty's favorite) with Grandma and Grandpa Oborn.

Ty was the first child awake this year and did his best to control himself until everyone else got ready to open gifts. We had our first Christmas downstairs this year, so Dalton left a note to let Santa know. He also started a new tradition that he had heard about at school where the children leave their shoes under the tree and Santa fills them with candy!
The kids were so happy with their gifts! Kate received that Barbie Jeep she has asked for for several years, Dalton got a guitar and a DS game and Ty got a MP3 player and clothes. It was a fun morning.

I love Christmas Eve because I think the anticipation is so much fun....especially when you have little kids! We went to Grandma and Grandpa Oborn's for our traditional Christmas Eve filled with food, gifts, the nativity and fun. Dalton got a bit carried away with his part in the nativity and made the wise man more of a wise....! Anyway, I think he was a bit excited to get to the gifts! Kate received her "pillow pet" she had been wishing for for months and was just elated! Ty had a great night playing with his cousins. I think the best part of the night was when Ty and Dalton came home and went FAST asleep! I was amazed and Greg was thankful for that!
