Sports Update!!!

I don't know how many of you out there love sports... but in case you didn't see it, or hear about it... I'm going to fill you in. Tiger Woods won the US Open after two ties with Rocco Mediate. It came down to a sudden death- and yep, he won!!

And in the world of basketball, the CELTICS won over the Lakers!! It's about time boys! And they didn't win by just a little bit.. they had a 39 point lead!! It has been 22 years since the Celtics won the Finals. Congrats to Paul Pierce for winning MVP of the game.

So now... let's bring on the FOOTBALL!!!

Relay For Life!

For those of you not familiar with the Relay For Life- it's an all night relay walk. Why all night? To symbolize the fact that cancer never sleeps. My mom, sisters and I met at the Weber State Stadium at noon on Friday. We had six tents set up in just over an hour. Pretty impressive for us girls! It was extrememly windy and cold and rainy- but we were committed to the cause, and weren't giving up.

We decided to do this event after my sweet Grandma Dille passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. My Grandpa Dille came up for a while and was very moved with how we were honoring "Onze Held" - Our Hero.

Remember the construction pics from a few posts ago?? Here is the finished project! Our Windmill turned out so great!! The boys on our team were very impressed with the end result- seeing as we started out with nothing but a refrigerator box and a vision.

Although it was cold and rainy, and a VERY long night... we endured till the end. GO TEAM WINDMILL!!!

We Love You Oma!!

Dance Recital, Birthday Party, Dance Recital

Last Friday night was Andrea's dance recital for her studio, Just For Kicks.

Kaycee and Bradee having fun after the show was over. They both did great!!

Marlee did great too - she was a little shy on stage, but always fun to watch!

The next day was the triplets birthday party. Brynlee, Easton and McKenna turned FIVE years old!! They were so excited, and had a blast at their luau party.

Last, but certainly not least, was Savannah's dance recital on Saturday night. She did a really good job!!

Happy Birthday Riley!!

Happy Birthday to my sweetie! Riley turned (can you guess how old??) 28 on Thursday, May 29th- it was a fun day!

He wanted cupcakes this year, so I made his (our) favorite, yellow cake with chocolate frosting!

He got a gift certificate to Uintah Golf from his Dad and some cash money from me and my parents, so he should be set to buy his new driver!

He chose to have his birthday dinner at The Melting Pot in Salt Lake. It was really fun- really long, and a TON of food!

Happy 28th Birthday Babe!!

Memorial Day

We visited Grandma Dille's grave on Saturday. It's still so new, and it was hard for me to be there. I miss her very much- but still firmly believe she's so happy now!

Time however, doesn't make you miss someone any less. We visited Grandpa Zweifel's grave on Sunday- and I still have a hard time. I miss him very much too and hope he spends all of his time fishing in Heaven!

Pre-School Graduation!

Big day for the Triplets! Brynlee, Easton and McKenna graduated from pre-school! I can't believe how the time flies!

The triplets had the spotlight during the performance of the December song, Jingle Bells!!

Congratulations to all of you!

Can We Build It??? YES WE CAN!!!

My family and I are participating in the American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life". It's an all night event, so everyone sets up tents and of course, decorates them. We decided that since we're doing this in honor of Grandma Dille- we better make it as Dutch as possible. So we got together and started construction on our project...

I've got to give Jen props! She is quite amazing when it comes to pulling it out of thin air. Our plan to use spray paint went horribly wrong- so the Amazing Jennifer produced not only one, but TWO colors of paint for our handy dandy project!

This was hard work!! And oh ya- it was only about 85 degrees!

Tuckered out workers.

And here it is! Our hours of hard labor. Isn't it beautiful?? Oh, if you couldn't tell, it's going to be a windmill. We're only about half-finished. We need to attach the arms and do some detail work. I'll definitely post pics of the finished project.

Go Team!!
