Our Family

Spring is finally here! Sweaters are up and the flip-flops and sandals are out. Stores are full of new style bathing suits, and of course for me one more year with the same amount of pounds to loose. For our family a very busy year so far! Franchezka is 18 and ready to got o college. She was accepted to UCF, all three BYU schools and U.F She committed to BYU Hawaii which I think is a perfect match for her relax personality. Evander is back home, still drawing and creating music. Jr. Has been very involved in soccer and in track and field. Still adjusting to our style of living. He was also baptized by Edward. Gretchen our dancer continues to make big strides in Ballet and Jazz. The dance studio is doing great. My sisters and I have been very bless to have continue success after the way the economy has been.

Owning a studio with my sisters has been very rewarding. May will be our first anniversary. We have worked very hard. We all spend a lot of time away from home and I truly appreciate everyones support. The blessing from opening this studio have been great. Working with my
sisters Aurie and Liza have been extraordinary and I learn every day from their talents. Of course I was not bless with "Happy feet".




We have another sports fanatic in our home. Jr. Loves Soccer, track and many other sports. He is a member of the varsity 4 by 8m relay. We love attending his track meets. I love to be able to give him some advice and reminisce of my days as a runner.

Evander's 17th birthday





After a Japanesse dinner we headed home for cake.


Gretchen loves to dance! We have been very busy with her this year. She has participated in several dance events including Move Dance Convention in Lakeland Florida, this was her first dance competition and she loved it! The entire family was there and supported our team. The following weekend my sister Aurie and I headed to Orlando for the Jump/breakthefloor Dance convention, which was amazing! Gretchen and her cousin Gabby had the opportunity to get dance instruction from Top industry teacher like Mandy Moore.


Spring Ball







Every year during the month of March our Stake has a tradition to honor their senior class with a spring ball. I had the opportunity to attend every one of my sisters and finally it us our turn to witness cheka's! Each Senior gets to be highlighted by the stake president. We had a good time. Uncle Jared was Cheka's escort for the evening. The highlight of the evening was when Franchezka was call and while they were reading all of her accomplishments she decided that she had enough with the high hill shoes she was wearing and took them off. Walking off the stage bare footed. Of course all of the youth that were in attendance love it and went wild. Mom and Dad were speechless! We love Cheka. She is a very independent girl. She has also began taken dance lesson and is starting to enjoy her ballet class. However her passion for soccer is still there.
