Big Time Slacker!

So because I am such a big slacker here is a quick update on our family over the past months. The pictures are in such random order. I am really going to be better about posting, for several reasons. First, Kim and Ryan moved away, far away, so I want them to be able to still keep in touch. Second, Josh was making fun of me because I still had Christmas stuff... yeah I deserved it :) and it is just fun to do! So enjoy a little glimpse of Birch paradise since January.

This is Joel McHale, from The Soup, he is so stinking funny. Matt and I went on a date Friday night to see him. It was so much fun, and we hadn't been on a date in such a long time. We had a great dinner, went to the show and then to dessert with friends.
This is Hunter winning the National Geographic Geography bee at his school. On the last day of school he was presented with a plaque that will remain at his school as being the winner this year. Pretty cool :) Below is a picture from his last day of school ( Hunter is in the gray shirt), elementary school. He is heading to Jr. High. Hunter was accepted into a gifted program in his middle school. We are so proud of him! Although, I am feeling really old that my baby is going to Middle School...

This is Sierra at her year end recital for the studio she teaches and takes ballet from. She looked so beautiful and did a great job.
Every year Dance Company does a year end social this is Sierra with her date Alex and friends Kaela and Tyson.
In May the Boys and Girls tennis team decided to have a first annual Beauty vs. the Beast tournament. It was so much fun to watch. Sierra played awesome and I think had a great time even though she lost.
Easter pics:)
Obviously the date is so wrong on the picture, but this is from 6Th grade field day. They played capture the flag, freeze tag and some other outdoors games, and then had root beer floats. Later that night Hunter went to the Bees games with his friend Nick. They had the suite, catered dinner and met Bumble and the Bees cheerleaders. Needless to say Hunter had a great day!
Hunter on the Klondike with his scout troop. Matt was able to go up on this cold overnighter and they had a blast. They did all sorts of outdoors survival things, and had a lot of fun. Looks too cold for me though :)
Sierra in her prom dress, with her favorite guy Hunter.
This year for tour the high school dance company went to California. They were able to perform at Disneyland. It was such a great time, I was able to go along and chaperon and we had great weather and so many memorable experiences. Sierra made dance company for next year as well and will be their Social Representative officer. Way to go baby!
Tuesday before leaving for her California trip with Dance Company, Sierra went to the ER and found out she had the flu. She was so sick and this is her on the plane ride to California. Sierra was such a trooper the whole trip even though she could have had every excuse to stay in bed all week. Before she left she passed along this wonderful virus to her brother. SO instead of Matt and Hunter having some guy time while we were gone. Hunter spent that time puking his guts out!
Our friends Amber and Josh have a photography business, they do awesome work!! Here are some fun pics from our sitting. There is one I am just hold out, Matt knows what I am talking about. I am just saving it for the right time or for blackmail.

Hunter and Chris shredding up at Solitude. Chris was so generous and took Hunter up for a day of boarding, burgers and probably babes... They had a great time Thanks Chris!

More to come soon...........
