What's up with the Houk's.......

In February Taylor was so very excited to get her

braces off! Look at that beautiful smile!

In March Achievement Days put on a

"Pinkwood Derby"

Taylor got 1st everytime except for the

very last race. Someone tripped her

and she dropped her car. 4 out of 5 isn't

too bad!! Way to go Tay!!

Brandon was so very proud. They both had so much fun doing this together.

For Springbreak we went to Disneyland!!!

Davis was so excited to see Mater and Lighting McQueen.

This is a photo of all of us on Splash Mtn.

The number 6114 is there because I am

too cheap to purchase a 5x7 for $15.

You can't see Davis between my legs because

he was smart and hid.

All of us on Space Mtn.!! Easy there muscles.

We went on Space Mtn. 3 times. It was

so much fun to be able to go on all the

rides this year with our entire family.

Us and our bug eyes... Taylor decided this year

that the bug show wasn't scary. But decided

that she is still terrified of the Haunted Mansion.

Davis got to drive his first car. He told me that

he was a good driver because he didn't hit

any trees.

We had a great time and enjoyed the 88 degree
weather.

We went to Huntington Beach......

It was Davis's 1st time to the beach.

Just after taking this cute picture of

Kaylee she decided to do a handstand.

That's great in all if I was out of her way.

Nope... I got an eye full sand!! I love

the beach just not in my eyes.

So that brings us to what we have been doing

most of the year.........

CHEER, CHEER AND MORE CHEER

Kaylee's team did great this year. I am so

impressed with Kaylee. She is so strong and

very athletic. She has amazing jumps, cartwheels,

round-offs, splits (all the way down) and she

can do her back handspring on the trampoline.

These are pictures of them competing in Logan.

The ages in Kaylee's group range from 4 to 6

years old.

This is Taylor's team competing in Logan.

Her team ranges from 6-9 years old. Everyone

on her team can do and backhandspring. And

a hand full can do back flips. One competition

they won all around!!

Our season ends at the end of April. We are sad

but not for long try-outs for next year are on

May 13th!!!

Planes, Trains and Automobiles...or even better Grandpa's BIG Truck!!

Grandpa's Big Red Truck
Davis was so excited to finally get to ride in Grandpa's Truck!
Davis got honk the horn not once not twice but FIVE times!!

He thought that was pretty awesome!!

Taylor thinks she's pretty funny!!
We love you Grandpa!! Thanks for taking us for a ride!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

So I was suppose to have my blog updated before I sent out my Christmas cards but no such luck. I know it's been a while when I am told by many that I need to update my blog. Life's been crazy and that's just how I like it!! Over the past year we have been very blessed and have had a lot of fun as a family. We purchased a camp trailer at the beginning of the summer. Unfortunately nobody would know that because out of the 5 camping trips I always forgot the camera. While on our camping trips we fished, floated the river (that was kinda scary with little ones),roasted marshmallows/hot dogs, went swimming and had many laughs when attempting to go to sleep. Brandon this year has been working for Family Care Center for 6 years now and was made the Director of Counseling. I am very proud of him. We are looking forward to the next couple of weeks with no school, no work and Christmas!! YES!! We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!! Love The Houk Family

TaY and KaY

TAYLOR is 8 turning 9 in February!! I really can't believe I am old enough for a 9 year old. Taylor is very strong and very athletic. She is in competitive cheerleading and last week her team receive 1st place!! She loves to read, make up cheer/dance routines with who ever is willing, and also likes to write stories and songs. You should see her back tuck!!
KAYLEE is 6 1/2 years old. She is a very sweet and loving little girl. She too is in competitive cheerleading and almost has her back handspring. Her little team received 4th place last week. Kaylee loves animals, playing with Davis and Taylor, loves to sing, color and dress up our poor little dog Molly.
Best of all Taylor, Kaylee and Davis are the greatest of friends!!

Davis turned 3 years old in September and just makes us laugh. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to go, go, go!! I have no idea where he gets it from? He loves to go to gymnastic class and soon will go to preschool in January. Davis loves about everything. His favorite things are Super Hero's, trains, his cousin Averee (even when she's the boss), special play dates with Grandma and Grandpa, playing with his sister's and going to work with Mom and Dad. He especially likes Dad's office because he has games and toys. Davis is a big 3 year old. He wears 5T shirts and 4T pants! We love him to pieces.
