Yes, I'm getting lazy

So....I went to Boise for a BPA Conference. It was probably one of the most fun things I've ever done, but I'm too lazy to blog it here; because I already have my "adventures" documented on the Idaho BPA website. If you want to read it, the link is below

Our Little Swimmer

Kasiah and Hayden decided that they were going to do swim team this year. They are getting sick of swimming lessons and thought it would be fun for a change. They had try-outs, and Hayden just thought it was a little too hard for him. Kasiah thought it was a blast! She goes to practice Monday-Friday, from 7-9 A.M. Kasiah started out in the beginer level, and she was doing so good that they moved her up to the next level. The level that all of the experienced swimmers are in. Last Saturday, she did an awesome job. She received 5 ribbons. Three of them were 2nd place, and then she got two 5th place ribbons. She is such an amazing swimmer for the little body that she has. All of her hard work and practice sure pays off. Way to go Kasiah! We are all so proud of you!

Girls State

Not much time to post, but I thought I would let everyone know what I'd been up to. I was gone last week to Girls' State. It was really a great experience...we got to learn about how state government is run: pass bills, run for office, etc. I was on the Supreme Court, so I got to wear cool robes, and we also got to travel to the capital to meet a Justice and an Apellate judge. ~Carlie

Last Week of School

The last week of school is always so very busy for us! Here are just a few pictures of what happend.

Hayden and his friend Emma

Kasiah with all of her little buddies

Carlie who earned many awards, one of them being Student of the Year.

And my shop car that I was stressing about! I really liked how it turned out! It wasn't too fast, but wasn't that slow either.

Junk Hunt

Every year, Hayden and Dad go with all of the Mitton boys and lots of other guys, and just mess around in the mountains. They ride four-wheelers, shoot guns, eat rattlesnakes, shoot birds, ride bikes, catch lizards...you get the point. They always come home with lots of good stories to tell us!

There was even snow up there!

Hayden and Walker

Happy Birthday Kasiah!

Kasiah just had her birthday on June 1st. We had the family over for cake and ice-cream, and then the next day she had her friend party at Steadman's Waterslide. It's a really fun place to go. However, when we drove a half hour to get there, they informed us that the main waterline or something like that had broke. They spent the first hour or so trying to fix it, so we roasted hot dogs. They still hadn't fixed it, so we waited and waited and the sprinklers turned on! We were able to get a little water going down the slide for the kids to play on. It also didn't help that it was begining to get very cold. It started blowing VERY hard, the water still wasn't working, and everyone was ready to go home. We then sat around the fire for a while and decided to leave. Everybody decided to go back home and play some games or something. It turned out okay and the girls had fun!

I was even brave enough to go inside the store wearing my robe to buy ice-cream and a movie!

And here is the cute cake my mom made for Kasiah. Isn't she just amazing?!
