Swiss Days Parade in Santa Clara!

We were in the Swiss Days Parade yesterday with the

Southern Utah Stars National Dance Team.

What some cute kids! From left to right we have Kobe, Allee, Mylee, Makinlee, Baylee, Tyree and Bode. (Mylee is especially excited about dance this year since her cousins are on the Show Team with her)

Of course we can't take a picture without doing our funny faces! ;)


There is Makinlee (the red arrow is pointing her out) with some of the girls in her Micro Mini's class, waiting patiently on the float to start the parade.


There's my boys! I'm pretty sure they (along with all the other dancers)
ate more candy then they threw.

And here is Mylee!
She danced through the parade with the rest of the Show Team (with the ones that were able to be there, we missed the ones that weren't). It was a nice day, a little warm when the sun came out from behind the clouds, but we had fun!

Chris' fishing trip!

Chris went on a weekend fishing trip with some buddies up near West Yellowstone last week. He didn't come home with a fish or even a picture of a fish, but he did see these! :) He forgot that you can take video clips with the digital camera. The kids thought these were pretty cool pictures! Hopefully we will be able to take a family trip to Yellowstone sometime.

First Day of School!

Mylee and Kobe started school on Aug. 12th. Mylee is in the 4th grade this year and loves it and Kobe started 1st grade and he likes it more each day. I always ask them how school was and what they did and on the first day Mylee said 'it was fun' and Kobe said '1st grade is soooo boring'. I just had to laugh. He likes it more now, I think he just had to adjust to being there for a full day.
Bode and Makinlee started their first day of preschool on Sept. 4th. I thought I would have to stick around for a minute for them to get used to it so after I signed them in I turned around to go hang up their backpacks with them and they had already hung them up and was on their way to sit down, they weren't even going to say bye. After school they were both little chatter boxes telling me all about their new school, they obviously loved it. Out of the blue Makinlee says, 'mom, am I 5 now?' It was so funny, she thinks she is so grown up now that she is in school.

I just had to take this picture because I just thought they looked so dang cute!

Just some of my favorite pics!

Most recent pic of the four kids together!

I saw a picture similar to this online a while ago and i thought it was so cute. This is actually the second picture of their dirty little feet I have taken cause I just love it so much.

Makinlee on the beach in Florida when the entire Wright family rented a house and spent a week together. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again! The sand looked white and she said 'look mom they have snow!' I guess she only knows sand to be red here in St. George.

Marlee and Makinlee on the beach in Florida!

Family Vacation!

For Labor Day weekend the entire family went to Panguitch lake to camp. Other then not having showers and getting dirty and smelling like campfire we all had a blast. Atleast the six of us did! :) We would love to do it more often and pick a different place each time.

All the boys trying to catch those fish!

Mylee's big catch!

Kobe waiting patiently for his turn to fish!

Bode - the master fisherman!

Makinlee at dinner. What a rag muffin!

(a cute one though)

Kinee, Tinners, Tinee!

Makinlee is our baby and is 3 years old but thinks she is 20. She has many nick names and answers to all of them. She loves to dance and is always being her big sisters shadow. She started preschool this year and thinks that makes her even bigger. She hasn't started karate yet but loves to grapple with big brothers and sister, nobody better mess with her or her siblings!

Bodester!

Bode is 4 years old and oh what a Bode he is. He always keeps us going. He is our little jokester but when he wants to be he sure can be a good little helper and major sweetie! (He hates it when I call him sweetie!) Bode loves karate, hip hop and tumbling like his brother. He is always doing his dance moves and some crazy stalls around the house. It's never a dull moment with this one!

The Kobinator!

Kobe is 6 years old and just like in this picture he is always smiling and happy. Kobe got the nick name the Kobinator from his karate instructors. He is quite the little grappler and is getting super quick throwing those arm bars! He also loves hip hop and tumbling!

Magoo!

Mylee (Magoo) is 9 years old. She loves to do so many things but dance is probably her favorite. She is an awesome little dancer! She is also very good with forms in her karate class. She is always striving to do better and push her self to do more. We are so proud of her and love her very much!

Me & Chris!

This is my favorite picture of us right now. JJ or Megan took this when we went to Alaska last year, we had fun! (We haven't changed much.)

Finally going to try it!

I have wanted to start a blog for a while now but just haven't got around to it. I love to look at my friends and relatives blogs to see what is going on in their lives. I figure this will be the best way to keep my family and friends updated on what is going on in our lives too. So I am going to try it and see how well I can keep it up. I will try and get some pics posted of recent events in our lives. Wish me luck!
