Class of 2011

Congrats Ashley...We are so Proud of you!

Where is Ashley going to College?

She has flirted with TWU.....and Alaska....went on a recruiting trip to Utah State and BYU......and after much debate and tears and prayers.....Ashley announced her decision at Regionals......

She loved the campus, she loved the feeling of Logan and it being a small town feel who takes care of it's atheletes, she loved the local dairy who supplies free milk(chocolate, strawberry or rootbeer) for their atheletes and loved that she will be one of 6 freshmen on the gymnastic team all living together!  I think she loved the tradition of becoming a "true aggie"....(kiss someone on a full moon on top of old main)

I guess we all need to open our hearts and become an AGGIE FAN now!

Jackson's Graduation....Again!

Last year in TX Jackson had graduation from the 5th grade, but here in Utah 6th grade is still in elementary school so he had a graduation celebration again!  He is definetly ready for Jr. High!  American Fork Jr. High Cavemen!

May Mayhem

All the Schools here do a "Dance Festival" at the end of the year!  each grade works on a dance and then performs for all the parents.....jackson did a phillipine jumprope and emma did a medley to  music from the 70's and 80's!

The sun finally came out in Utah County and the kids started enjoying the Park!

4 wheelin in the mountains after rain causes alot of mud!

Do you remember how hard it is to date when you are engaged?  don't want to spend money...cause you need it when your married....so you hang out at home with your family who is very obnoxious...especially with 5 younger brothers and sisters of all ages!  poor stephen and kelsi!



Happy Birthday Lily! 4 Years Old!

I have never had another kid so excited for her birthday...Lily has been talking about her birthday for the past 6 months....everytime she saw something at the store she would say "Mom, can I have this for my birthday?"  And for the past 2 months that is all she talked about and finally the day has arrived!  Happy Birthday Lily!

Princess Party...all princesses were invited to lily's castle with pink carpet rolling down the hallway and the trumpet being blown everytime a princess came....Her servant Kelsi painted princess masks on all guests and her servant Ashley painted their nails.  Lily's sorcerer, Emma helped the little princess find a dress and accessories for the party!  After dress up they danced, then then sat down for a real tea party with cookies and punch, followed by cake.....the little princesses then played "pin the tiera on princess lily" and then opened presents!  Too much fun!.....(Check out Kelsi in the King's costume!)

Happy Birthday Lily!

Seminary Graduation

Years of Seminary....3 years of early morning and 1 year of release time.....WOW!  Just have to thank all the seminary teachers of ashley's! You were so instrumental in helping her testimony to grow and her love for the scriptures have become such an important part of her life!  She never misses a day reading her scriptures and I am often "schooled" by her in that respect!  For Example......She had a Gymnastic meet this year in Logan but it was at 8:00 in the morning so we thought we would drive up late the night before and stay with Aunt Kay and Uncle Rick in Tremonton so we didn't have to get up so early....we stayed up late visiting and I was exhausted when we woke up early the next morning to get ready.  I was wo touched when I walked in her room to make her bed, there was her Book of Mormon on the floor!  Even though she needed her sleep and had to get up early in the morning to compete it was more important for her to not miss a day and read her scriptures before she went to bed!  Hence I was "Schooled" by ashley!

Here is a picture of Bishop Bangerter and 7 graduates from the American Fork 37th Ward!



Bridal Shower for Kelsi!

Ashley threw a fun shower for kelsi on this weekend....to help Kelsi stock her pantry, and fill her recipe box and asked Stephen a whole bunch of questions about his likes and dislikes in the kitchen and then kelsi had to quess what he said...she did pretty well and got about half right!  It was lots of fun!

Stephen's mom and sister Janessa, and a couple of his aunts!



Some of the Follett Family!

Easter 2011

Regionals in Anaheim

Had a ton of fun in CA with family.....going to the beach and downtown disney.....Ashley competed at Regionals but did not have her best meet...received her high score on bars for the year and we are very proud of her!

Kelsi is engaged!

Kelsi decided to come live at home this semester to save money for a mission....went to the singles ward here in the East American Fork Stake and fell in love! They dated and spent alot of time on our couch...emma has nicknamed it the "cuddle couch" and just simply fell in love! His name is Stephen Swensen, grew up in American Fork, served a mission in Russia, has a drafting degree and a job! He is also working on a degree at UVU in political science and then has plans to attend law school. He plays the piano, sings and is just smitten with Kelsi! We are all very happy for both of them! He took her to the temple yesterday (perfect timing after Elder Scott's talk) and walked her around the temple, with roses waiting on a bench, he got down on one knee and proposed! Of course she said "YES!"

They plan to be sealed in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple on June 30th!

Nick at Prom

Nick went to prom with his friend Josh....well they both had cute dates!  For their day date (a silly utah county tradition) they went rock climbing.  Nick's dates mom is from Germany so she made them a traditional German meal for dinner and Nick loved the food! (he always loves the food)  Prom was at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course and they had tons of fun!
