What is cuter than a gymnast?


Two gymnasts!! Zoe and Sierra had their first ever gymnastic meet last Saturday. We joked with friends that even Cross Country meets were more entertaining, but deep down I loved it. What little girl doesn't dream of being the olympic gymnast? I know my sisters and I did. The best Christmas ever was when we finished open a few disappointing presents and then walked into the family room to find uneven parallel bars set up by Santa!!
Also happy 36th to the Twinners, Holly & Heather hope the day is full of chocolate. And a very special shout out to Preston 8 years old today, special birthday for sure---I promise the check is in the mail!!

Magen and Shawn

The Wedding party, Samantha, Mandy, Marcie, Magen, Shawn, Brandon (Shawn's brother), Mason, and Jackson. (Did you catch the fact that all the names beginning in "M" are "M"ichael's siblings!!)
The Bride and Groom--new Uncle to 11 Nieces and Nephews, next time I will test him on their names and ages (I'll allow for errors of 2 years on either side, shouldn't expect more of an Uncle than a Dad, right?)!

In my humble opinion the cutest flower girl and ring bearer, I wish I could find the pictures of them doing this when they were 6 & 7 years old, Sammi wore a lavender dress that day too!


Our family with Michael's "Granny" Thompson.



My goodness these kids are good looking--must take after their mother.




The Noftle Boys. Michael's Dad(Fred) or "Bampa Fed" as Carter would say. Fred 60, Michael 38, Jackson 13, and Carter 4.





O.K. this post is LOOOONG overdue, but May is crazy---C*R*A*Z*Y. You might say, buck up Becky, but I can't. I'm dieting and that means hungry and grumpy so "you get what you get and you don't through a fit" people. Words to live by. We were lucky enough to go to Magen (Michael's little sister) and Shawn's wedding on May 2nd in Utah. Drove all day Friday, Wedding'd it up on Saturday and drove the 12 hours home on Sunday. FUN! The kids were troopers as was Michael. He was looking forward to taking our five kids on this trek like he looks forward to the dentist bill. Hope you enjoy the photos taken to commerate the weekend.
