Crazy Hair Day

I am hoping that they never choose to do their hair like this for real. But it was fun for a day!

Family Soccer

Every Saturday this month we get to spend the day cheering on our three soccer stars!! It has been so fun to watch Emilee, Max, & Abbie all play this year!



Lucy would like to join them and tells us that it is her soccer game. But she has fun on the sidelines eating the team treats and playing at the park with her little friends. It won't be long until Brooklyn & Lucy will be following in their sisters footsteps.

We were so lucky to have Grandma Clark there to watch.
She took the kids for a donut break between games and was the best cheerleader of all! We love you Grandma!


Abbie, Brynley & Mariah
I think Abbie loves soccer the most! She has been looking forward to another season all year. She is so quick and aggressive and loves being with her friends. Her team is all of the little neighbor girls and they dominate every game!



Max is a natural. He hasn't played soccer for several years and wasn't sure how he'd like it. His first game he scored 10 goals.

Max, Jordan & Tyson

Emilee decided that she wanted to play this year too. She is also on a team with all of her school friends and has so much fun goofing around with them. She made her first goal last week and is Awesome! Uncle Heath you would be proud!

Fathers & Sons

The Highlight of Max's year is the Fathers and Sons Campout. He has been asking everyday for weeks how many more days. He loves to cook his dinner over the fire, go canoeing, ride the zip line, try to find frogs, play with his buddies, sleep in a tent, and best of all be with his Dad!
The Heims rode up with Jason and Max and poor Erich got car sick and threw up in Jason's truck.


We miss the boys while they are gone but we look forward to our own girls night out every year!


We started the night out running through the sprinklers because the weather was finally warm enough and Abbie and Em were not going to miss out on the fun.

The girls picked where we ate dinner and of course they chose the Pizza Factory.

Then Abbie chose to go to the park and play.

After we went and took some fun pictures at one of those little photo booths. Then we finished the night off back at home, made brownies, had pedicures and watched the Jazz game. It was so fun to be with my girls! The only thing missing from a perfect night was a Jazz Victory.
I love you Emilee, Abbie, & Lucy!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

" God couldn't be everywhere at once so he gave us Mothers."
I'd have to say that my greatest blessing in my life has been the influence of the incredible Mom that I have!! Her great example and love has made me the person I am today. I could never tell her how much I love her or how much I appreciate the great life she has given me.
She is.....
*The most unselfish person I have ever known. Always puts everyone else before herself.
*The kindest most giving person in the whole world. She is busy helping and serving others every single day.
*The happiest and most optimistic lady you will ever meet. She wakes up with a smile and loves life!
*The best friend and listens and acts interested in everything I do.
*The funnest most loving Grandma and always plans special activities to do with my kids.
*Incredibly talented and is the best artist I have ever seen. She is good at anything she tries.
*A great cook and I always love to go home for something "good" to eat!
*A great example of living what she believes and has a strong testimony.
*The most Christlike person I have ever met!


Some of my best memories of her are:
*Her fixing us a yummy breakfast every morning before school and reading us the scriptures.
*Her waking us up each morning with a smile and often a good morning song.
*She would take us to her sister's Ranch in Colorado all by herself every spring and plan a fun week of all kind of family activities.
*She would come to all of our activities and games.
*She would always invite someone in need over for Sunday Dinner.
*She opened her home and her heart to several foster children.
*I always loved going on walks with her at night and talking just the two of us.
*She loved to swim and would wake up early in the morning and swim laps. In the summer she took us to the swimming pool everyday.
*She sewed us all the cutest matching clothes and would spend hours making us our Sunday dresses, school clothes, jackets, ...you name it she could sew it. And when I got older she sewed all of my dance dresses.
*Always supported me anything I ever wanted to do. She even let me go to Russia when it may have seemed a little bit crazy.
*She always made me feel loved and like I could do anything.

I Love You Mom!!! I never really could fully appreciate all that you did for me until I became a mother myself. You gave me so many wonderful opportunities, taught me more than anyone ever could have, and have always been there for me when I have needed you. I don't know what I did in heaven to be sent to you but I will be forever grateful!!! Happy Mothers Day!
