 Britton was not happy, and would not smile for his mom.
He did not have a fast car, but it was the most expensive one.

Fashion Show - Staring Hollie and Miriah

 Modest is Hottest
Hollie has gotten so tall that we needed to get her some new clothes.  For her Birthday, we went shopping for new dresses or something to wear to church.  When we got home we had to get dad's approval, so the fashion show began....
They wanted it to be a surprise so they wore the bathrobes to cover them up - silly girls! 


Miriah was so thrilled with your Dress for Easter that she wanted to model it too.
It is a Costco special, we love it when the dresses at Costco have sleeves because they are only around $15.00.

 Hollie's outfit came from Seagull Book,  They really have some cute clothes.  We still had the problem of some of them being to short, since she is getting so tall.  But she was patient with her mom and continued to look until we found a few that came to her knees.
 Once again Here is Miriah Mae...
 Miriah fell in love with the yellow, reminding me that it was my favorite color, and it was very cute on her.
 HollieAnne, I can't believe that my little girl is growing up.  She is a Beautiful Young Women now.
Dad approved, the girls were so excited since they really did not want to take anything back.

Prep boys’ soccer: Lone Peak beats Riverton 3-0

Riverton • After watching Riverton’s midfield dominate play in the first half of a scoreless soccer match, Knights coach Blaine Hale had some choice words for a team that was outshot, outplayed and outhustled.

Only the quick feet and hands of Lone Peak’s senior goalkeeper Kaden Killpack kept the net clean as Riverton had several looks on runs from Kenny Marse, and a corner kick in the 28th minute that came alarmingly close to finding the goal.
After a scoreless first half, Lone Peak responded with three goals, all of them coming on an assist from a teammate.
 Midway through the second half, Lone Peak goalkeeper Kaden Killpack found himself on an island after Riverton’s Kenny Marse split two defenders for what appeared to be a clean shot. Killpack smothered the shot and snuffed out any thoughts of a comeback.

A reinvigorated Lone Peak midfield took over after half, pushing forward, attacking and bringing the heat with goals in the 12th, 16th and 26th minutes to earn the 3-0, Region 4 win.
"I just felt like we pressured them better and came forward like coach talked about at half," said junior midfielder Tyler Allison, who scored the first goal and assisted Zack Cromar on the second.
Lone Peak showed a flair for the unselfish, as all three goals were assisted, including the final marker from Brody Berry, who passed up a good shot to give Landon Wilson a better shot.

"No one really cares who scores and for us. It’s all about doing it for the team." Allison said.

Riverton had just two real scoring opportunities in the second half, one when the lightning-quick Marse split two defenders late, only to have his shot snuffed by Killpack, who has given up just one goal in his last six outings.
"Riverton really showed their ability to counterattack in that first half, and they were beating our midfielders to the attack," said Hale. "Kaden is just so strong back there for us, but the midfield getting into the flow and attacking was key."

Lone Peak, 3-0 in Region 4, is at undefeated Lehi on Friday, while Riverton, 1- 1 in region, hosts Bingham on Wednesday.

Utah High School Basketball Coaches Association All Star Game

Area boys basketball players showed very well during the Utah High School Basketball Coaches Association senior all-star games sponsored Friday at West Jordan High School.
The capstone of the event was the first 5A versus 5A matchup, a highly entertaining and very competitive contest that featured dozens of lead changes before the South team pulled out a 159-157 victory.
No, that isn’t a misprint.
The score was tied at 74 by halftime. The South squad trailed by seven points with two minutes to play but finished the contest on a 9-0 run to get the thrilling win.
Lehi’s Colton Colledge was the key player down the stretch, with four rebounds and a steal before he was sent to the free-throw line with the score tied and six-tenths of a second remaining.
He coolly dropped in both shots to ice the game for the South. He finished the night with a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds and also had three blocked shots.
Lone Peak’s Brody Berry tied the game with a pair of free throws when there was 48 seconds left, completing his tally with six points, eight boards, eight assists and a steal.
American Fork’s Marcel Davis played a critical role in a couple of the South team’s runs to catch up. He hit five treys among his 26 points and also had 10 assists and two steals.
His teammates made contributions also. Austin Waddoups did a terrific job at the point, as well as personally delivering 18 points, six rebounds, four assists and a steal. Quincy Bair added 21 points, while Zac Hunter netted 11 with nine boards.
Each player on the team scored at least one of the 25 combined 3-pointers they made.
