Pure Silliness

I went to check on these two in the bath and they had poured the entire bottle of bubbles into the bath with them. Needless to say it was very hard to wash all the bubbles out of their hair that night.

"Natalie Do you want to build a snowman"  Love Brooklyn and Olof

Someone loves her make-up, and purses.

Baseball

We have 3 different teams this year. Morgan is on the 2-3rd grade Machine pitch team. There are only 2 other girls on the team, the rest is a large group of boys. That's ok Morgan holds her own. She loves pitcher and 1st base.

 She love the first pitch, she always wants to swing at the first pitch. She really wants to hit the ball. The first game of the season she struck out every time, what did she do she woke up 45 minutes earlier for school and when and practiced hitting with her dad. I was very happy she wanted to put the time into getting better. She hit every ball the next game.

 Natalie is on the TBall team with Kyla and Hunter. She loves the social part of the game, and the treats at the end. She is a great girl and always knows where to throw the ball to get the players out.

 Madalyn started softball  this year, it 4-6 grades. We are a very young team, mostly 4th and 5th graders no 6th. That hurts us cause BC and Connell have no 4th graders and mostly 6th graders.

 Her hitting has improved so much throughout the season. We loved the bright colored shirts this year.

Madalyn usually plays 2nd base or outfield. We would love to pitch but the coach only lets the 5th graders pitch so we will just practice for next year. It's fun to watch her grow up and enjoy sports.

Spring Break

 Our spring break was pretty boring, we didn't get the chance to go anywhere. We were working on house plans all week. We did get together with the McGary family and watch a movie on grandma and grandpa's new projector we got them for Mother's Day/ Father's Day. Our girls performed a play they had made up before the movie started, lets' say it was funny.

  A movie is no fun unless you have tons of sugar. What a fun night with lots of cousins.

We went to hike badger Mountain with some mesa friends. natalie was a trooper, she had sprang her ankle really bad on the tramp just a week before. I tried to get her to stay home, but Nope she still went with us.

Rollor staking and lunch at Old Country Buffet. The kids new favorite place to eat.

Mesa Talent Show

Another wonderful talent show at Mesa. The girls always want to preform something.

A New beginning for the Jenks Family

The start of January 2014 we made the Big decision to move and Build our house in Connell. We have been praying, fasting, pondering and saving for many years about where the Lord wants our family to be. After Much thought and many sleepless nights we feel like we should build on land over by Connell.
This is the spot our family's home will sit. It has been a very emotional time for me, I will miss living next to my family but this is where we need to be. There is so much opportunity for us. So the start of building beginnings for our family. I hope to be in by Christmas 2014.

 Madie 10, Morgan 8, Natalie 6, Brooklyn 3

There was about 700 feet of cement ditch we had to haul out. It took Garrett and I 3 good days to remove the ditch and haul it out. It was the beginning of many long and hard hours on our new piece of land.
