Happy 15th Ethan!

Happy Birthday Ethan! Still so cute and easy to get along with - even as a teenager! WE love you!! Also - Happy Birthday Aunt Linda!!

Off to the Races!!!

Ethan went out for track this spring and has done very well at the meets he's went to. Unfortuneatly the last two have been cancelled. He runs the 100 yard dash, 4X1 relay and he was high jumping until his back started hurting and so now he is throwing.

I have really enjoyed messing with my camera and all the sports shots. I have found I enjoy the outside pictures more because I don't have to deal with the lighting like they have in the gyms and such.

Easter & Trace

Erin wanted to dye Easter eggs so bad so we invited
our little buddy Trace over and we spent the afternoon
dying eggs - always so much fun.

This boy loves to eat!

Ice Skating Show

Michael and Teann's kids have taken up ice skating since they moved out here so we got to attend one of their ice shows a few weeks ago. This is Riley in one of her perfomances. She is such a cutie!!



Riley in another of of her outfits -
she looks so grown up.

And here's Kodie - she's the first one and very energetic!! We couldn't get Gatlin on film because he was moving waaaayyy to fast!!

I truly don't know who this girl is but I was trying out my camera in the different light - I just was just excited that is wasn't totally blurry and kind of cool...

Grandma turns 70!

Kenny's mom was blessed to be able to celebrate her 70th birthday on March 7th of this year. All five of her children and their spouses and most of the grandchildren were able to be there to help her celebrate!



The grandkids chowing down...

Another pretty cake!

Sweet 16!

Surprise! We had a surprise sweet 16 for Erin after
their last home basketball game in February. Erin's friend Kayla turns 16 3 days after Erin so we just decided to do one big party!



Lots of green!

Erin and Kayla's cake.

Party time...

Erin opening her present from her dad.
She was so excited to see it was vehicle keys until she realized it was the keys to the Nissan! (Our very old 1985 Nissan pickup that Grandpa Bob used to drive!





A little thumb wrestling entertainment...

Happy girls and the food line.

They had more fun with the fondant off of the cake - if you can't eat it I guess you use it for party favors!

Career Day

Wow what an honor! Little Kodie Egle had career day at school and she chose me to interview. I was so excited. She asked me all kinds of questions about my job and then I got to go to her classroom one day and be interviewed by her classmates. I was very impressed by their questions and knowledge of the economy, and what income, expenses, profit, wages all were. But at the end of the day Kodie decided she didn't want to be a bookkepper but would rather be a hair dresser like her mom. I told her that was an awesome career choice too and that her mom was a very talented woman!

Erin basketball

We hosted a team breakfast and a sleep over this year for the girls' basketball team. They really were a great group of girls and were always fun and loving to be around.

Erin trying to slow down yet another taller girl!

Yes - it's a little fuzzy - I'm still working on the sports' shots!!

Game against Lyman

Ethan Winter Sports

Ethan was a slow starter in the basketball court this year but he finally ended up going out.

He did really well and I think he even enjoyed it a little....
We had a similar experience in wrestling. His football coach finally made some type of deal with him just to get him to try it. He liked it and did really, really, well. The question at the wrestling meets is always "how long has he been wrestling and everyone was always quite surprised when we said - "3 weeks". He only lost 3-4 matches all season and won most of his matches by pins.

So very cool....

Christmas 2009

Grandpa and Grandma Egle came out for Christmasthis year. We had such a nice relaxing time. The guys

headed to Riverton ice fishing for a couple of days and the gals went to Jackson for lunch and shopping.

Egle Kids - Christmas 2009

Yes - we visited Teton Orthopedics yet again this sports season.

Just a short six weeks. Happened the first tournament of the baskeball season.

Dad advising Luke on tree decorating.

Thanksgiving

Thought I had better do a quick catch up of winter - now that spring is here!
Or at least for some of you. We stayed in Wyoming for the holidays this year and Michael and TeAnn and crew did as well. Here we all are about to partake in Thanksgiving dinner.



The wildlife is truly one of the great highlights of the mountains. This little guy, although quite nice looking, is not a friend - he keeps eating on our trees which are like trying to grow gold here!
