Kylie's 15th Birthday

Kylie turned 15 on the 25th of April. Since her birthday was on a Sunday, we only opened presents on her birthday. We went out to dinner the next day. She chose to go to El Palmar. She invited her grandparents to come along. Afterwards, we came home and opened presents from the grandparents and then had an Oreo ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Some of the gifts she got were: an itouch, new moon poster, clothes, jewelry etc. Happy Birthday Kylie!! We love you!!

Piano Recital

The girls had a piano recital. Their teacher rented a little theater downtown. All the students did an amazing job. I am so proud of the girls and what they have accomplished.


I took a couple of pics of the girls before we left to go the recital.

Miranda's 12th birthday!

Miranda turned 12 on April 13th! She is SO excited to be out of primary and joining the Young Womens program. For her birthday she invited several of her friends to go with her to see the movie "The Last Song". It was a really good movie. She has since gone with another friend and watched it again. The day before her birthday we took her to Leatherby's for dinner. Yummy!! On her birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Coulam took her out to dinner at Woody's. Some of the gifts she got were: Justin Bieber CD, Justin Bieber poster, Taylor Lautner poster (Twilight Wolf Pack), a purse, clothes and swimsuit.

Girls sing at Cousin's missionary farewell

My sister Marilyn's son is leaving to go on a mission to the Phillipines. She asked if Kylie, Miranda and Carlin would sing with some other cousins at his farewell talk at church. I got some pics of them practicing and video. Unfortunately, the video is too big to put on blogger.

Easter Sunday

We woke up Easter morning to find our baskets full thanks to the Easter Bunny. We then got ready for the day and went over to my sister Pam's house to watch General Conference with all of my family from the area. We had a nice potluck lunch and Easter egg hunt while there. Then we went to Warren's parents house to have an Easter Dinner with all of his family. It was a great day of visiting and spiritual upliftment. General Conference was great! Here are some pics of the kids participating in the day's events.

When they got back, we went to Woody's Bar & Grill with Grandma and Grandpa Coulam. We then came home and opened presents and had cheesecake for dessert. Happy Birthday Matt!!! I love you!! Hope you had a great day!!
