Tag's teammate got highlights in his hair. It looked good. Tag mentioned wanting highlights. I remembered helping give my roommate high lights in college and it wasn't that hard. So I told Tag I would do it. It would save some money and it would be fun for me to try it again. I bought a kit from Sally's. It took longer than I thought to pull chunks of hair through the cap. The YouTube video made it look so simple and fast.
Kade's quorum got up early and did baptisms at the Orem Temple. I'm grateful Kade enjoys going!
I haven't been very good at taking pictures of my kids so I'm trying to be better. One Saturday I was hoping from one game to the next. Tag came with me to Sienna's. So I took this picture of them each in their jerseys. I was fun having Tag cheering on Sienna. We've gotten to the point that they don't go to each other's games so when they do go, it's extra special.
We received day passes to Provo Beach Resort for Christmas from Grandpa and Grandma Lowry. We used them one night after school and James's practice. We fit in as much as we could in the time we had. It was a little chaotic but still fun!
Easter was the weekend of Prom and in the thick of soccer season so it was a busy weekend! The secret is out for the Minis so I asked them if they still wanted the Easter Bunny to come to our house. I also asked the older kids if they wanted to look for their eggs or just receive a basket of eggs. Kade wanted his eggs hidden and Lynnlee and James wanted them in a basket. Saturday morning I took Kade to his soccer game so he looked for his eggs after. We didn't get our traditional picture on the stairs because everyone was on a different schedule. James left to his day date, Lynnlee had a game, and Tag and Sienna stayed home and enjoyed the Easter egg hunt.
Kade was there too. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of him holding one. He is the animal whisperer of the family. He loved seeing the goats too.
We went out to lunch for Ali's birthday. We went to Aubergine. It was so fun to catch up with Betsy and Ali! We ordered a yummy chicken bowl that was GF. It had a cashew dressing on it. I decided to try it to see if it gave me a headache. Ever since eating GF, things that normally gave me a headache, don't give me a headache anymore. Thankfully it didn't give me a headache! I'm excited to be able to have cashews again!
James had Junior Prom over Easter weekend. He asked Taylin to go with him. The background on Taylin is that I met her mom at a soccer tournament last summer. Taylin's brother Austin and Kade play on the same soccer team. The tournament was the first time Kade played with the team and so I didn't know anyone. Taylin's mom Holly was so nice and easy to talk to so we sat by each other at all of the games. We thought it would be fun for James to ask Taylin out on a date since we felt like kids these days don't date as much. So James asked her out last summer and they went to dinner and played frisbee golf. They've been on a date or two since then. She asked him to be her partner for a dance recital with the drill team. She goes to Skyridge High School which is the other high school in Lehi. So they aren't dating or boyfriend and girlfriend but they are friends so he asked her to prom.
They had a fun day date going up Provo Canyon to a picnic area. They made pancakes and played games. James said it was really fun. They had a few other couples in their group and they all had fun time together.
He picked her up later that afternoon and her family took these pictures.
I made cinnamon rolls for my ministering sisters and Marshall's ministering families. One batch made 6 square pans. I wish I would have taken a picture of the finished cinnamon rolls with the frosting. I made a double batch of frosting and had just a little bit left over. It was perfect!
