The Nordfelt's

For our 10th anniversary, we thought it would be awesome to ride the world's steepest zip-line, located in Park City at the Olympic Park.  Too bad there was a power failure throughout the entire park right before we were to get in our harness.  At least we have pictures of what could have been... Here we are riding the lift.  Here I am next to the sign.  We were excited!  Earlier we walked through City Creek Center.  It is pretty amazing. We stayed at the Anniversary Inn on 5th South.  I have to say that we had the weirdest room.  Our original room's air conditioner didn't work, so we were up-graded to the room called "Sultan's Palace".  Apparently there is something romantic about sleeping atop two elephants and bathing under the watchful eye of a dragon. AHH! It was a memorable anniversary, for sure!!

No matter how old I get, I seem to stay pretty immature...and I seem to have passed it along to my daughter. :)

KC is always willing to give Kanyon a ride on the Green Machine.  Kanyon loves it!

Katelin took 1st place in the preliminary 50-yard dash for 3rd grade girls.  She came in 2nd in the finals.  Good job Bug!

Keaters loves his daddy, cars, wrestling, screaming and jumping off furniture.  He loves to talk, talk, talk.  We don't know what he is saying most of the time.   Keaters is easily frustrated and can throw a huge fit.  He is strong willed and determined.  He will NOT give you a kiss if he doesn't want to.  He will bring his shoes to you and make sure you know he wants to go outside.  He always wants to eat something. Keaters is something special.  

Katelin had her second piano recital today.  Her piece was "Highland Fling" by Irene Archer Isn't she a cutie?!

 My husband bought me new carpet for Mother's Day.  I was jumping up and down like I won a car or something.  Awesome.  Did I mention it is also the present for my birthday, anniversary, Christmas and next Mother's Day?  It is and I could not care less. Here we are before church: Here we are all smiley and cute. I added this picture because this is what Keaton is usually doing...trying to escape my death grip. Doesn't this look familiar?  Another little Katiebug that doesn't like his picture taken Here is what the kids like to do best...dog pile Pa. This is what ALWAYS happens...someone gets hurt.

I am KC's room mom, and we had to make posters for our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.  I had a lot of fun doing this!  Thank goodness for Pinterest!  Katelin has a report due next week on The Rain forest.  She insisted on getting it done this weekend.  She typed up the report, all by herself, for 3 hours.  Then I helped her make this project to display at the Ecosystems open-house at school.  She is a hard worker. She was cracking the whip and wouldn't change her focus until it was done.  She wouldn't let me have a break! It was Keaton's first official day to go to Nursery!  I don't know what made me happier, the thought of going to Sunday School and Relief Society or hearing my child scream "All Done!!" repeatedly while sitting in the chapel.  My neighbor told me I should be real proud of him, because not many kids can scream at that intensity.  His blanket calmed him down and I was able to enjoy my meetings....

It was frigid this weekend at the cabin. Saturday we just hung out, read books and rode the 4-wheeler's. Kanyon was big enough to learn to ride the 4-wheeler by himself. Keaton was all smiles the entire weekend!

What a perfect day for a hike! The temperature was in the 60's and overcast. We made it back to the car before the storm blew in. Beautiful, beautiful! Here are the 5 big kids climbing up a steep part. Kanyon was insistent on doing everything himself because he was a "big boy now because I am 4" He scared all of us, and while Kye was snapping this picture, I ran to be at his side. Notice Paul Bunyans toilet in the background. Keaton was so glad when we let him down. He just loved throwing the dirt and crawling around. He was a little too timid to walk around. I'm glad. Keaton was so happy to walk, and would have walked back to the car if we let him. He was pretty upset when Kye carried him the rest of the way. Beautiful, Beautiful!!

Happy Birthday to my sweetheart! How convenient that play-group was on his birthday. So I told him that he was going to have a friend birthday party at the park. We took cookies and treat bags to share with his friends at his "party". So glad all of his friends were there. He wore his blue birthday pin with pride. This boy is super awesome!

Katelin turned 9 on Easter this year! We love our little bug. She woke up and unwrapped her American Doll that she has been patiently waiting for. She earned $82 of the dollars it cost to buy her. When she has a goal, she goes for it! We had pinata's at Grandma and Grandpas. The little boys loved them. Although it isn't Kanyon's birthday until Wednesday, he thinks today was his birthday. He told me, "Mom, you can call me the Birthday Boy." Keaton loved trying to hit the pinata with the bat Grandma Pettingill made Katelin a bed for her doll. Along with 10 outfits, including this matching pj set for her and her doll. My mom is amazing. Here is Katelin with both set of Grandparents. She is really lucky to have these four people in her life!

We celebrated Katelin's birthday at school. Kanyon got to be there. Keaton is a Daddy's boy and prefers self-feeding. Otherwise, he hits the spoon out of your hand. So self-feed he does. Who doesn't love a sense of independence? Kye dislocated his shoulder playing basketball. Katelin got a hamster. She named him Hermi. We finally finished our tile floor. We had help from some amazing people. We couldn't have done it without them.
