Jadyn Turns 17

Another eventful year in Jadyn's short 17 years.

On her B-day she woke up to a decorated door from Jorrin.
Then we went to dinner with her and game home to open her presents. This year she got new cleats. A new phone (which was not on the list but hers broke the day before)
some jewelry to wear with her prom dress, new silver lace Toms to wear with her prom dress, a new swimsuit, and Terry spent several hours finishing up her soccer recruiting video that he gave her and we watched. You can see it on you tube under Jadyn Losee Soccer. If you haven't seen it and want to check it out. He did a great job! She also got spoiled by her boyfriend Jake he had to work on her b-day so he left her notes throughout her car telling her when to check next and then in her trunk she found roses, some perfume, and a necklace she had showed him a while ago. Then the next day he took her to dinner and watched one of her favorite videos. All in all another great B-day!
On Sunday it was conference and also Terry's dad's b-day so we made a cake for he and Jadyn and went over to celebrate.

They enjoy having their b-days so close!
After the kids went and played in the back yard.

I loved this picture of Terry peaking over the chair so I had to share it.

My baby learns to ride a bike

She came home from school with this duct tape on and thought it was so cool. I just had to take a picture.
Terry took Jantzyn down to the church to ride her bike without her training wheels. It took a while but we finally talked her into it. Terry told her they wouldn't let little girls that were 8 get baptized unless they could ride a bike. She laughed and then said "Mom dads teasing right?". But i think it got her thinking and she agreed to try it.

After one or two fits she decided she was going to do it and she can ride it all by herself now!

Soccer....It's that time again!

Jantzyn had so much fun with her soccer last time we decided to sign her up for the Ivins league. This time they play on a big field with full size soccer nets. She has loved every minute of it. She has scored at least once every game sometimes twice a game. She insisted on playing goalie and I kept telling her she would be bored. Terry and Robyn are her coaches and she finally talked him into letting her be goalie...as soon as the game was over she told me I was right she was bored and didn't want to play goalie again. She loves being in the action. Another thing she has loved about playing is she has got to play with Gentry. They are a great little team and have a lot of fun together.

Pure Joy!



Jaicelyn is also still playing on her competitive team. They have won all their games this season so far and have come a long way from 2 years ago. Jaicelyn is continuing to grow (on the field and off) and is becoming a really good player.



she is still one of the smallest players in the league though. Someday that height will come.
Jadyn is still doing her competitive team too. The hard thing is they don't have very much competition for their age in St. George. They are going to Vegas a couple of times to play some teams down there that will hopefully give them something to work for. In May they will also be playing in the State Cup.



One of her very first team mates and friends from when we lived in Mesquite played against her last game. If was fun to see they play each other.

Jorrin's Dance Company Recital

Jorrin has been getting up at 5:00 and going to the school from 5:30 to 9:00 everyday for the last month. She has also had all day Saturday practices getting ready for this dance recital. The big day arrived on Fri March 23rd and Sat the 24th. They did an awesome job and all of her hard work paid off. The whole family came and supported her. She is a beautiful dancer and I love to watch the emotion she puts into dancing.
We didn't get any pictures of the show we video'd it instead hopefully someday I can figure out how to get my videos to work on this blog. but for now all you get to see if the bow.
After the show she had lots of admirers including all the family.





Her advisor Tamy who she loves!
Her dance partner Dallas dance with her in a dance called "Stupid".




Thanks everyone for coming. Hope you enjoyed the show.

All Jantzyn wants if both her two front teeth

A couple of weeks ago I took Jantzyn to my work and had Dr. Simister give her an orthodontic evaluation. She still sucks her thumb and is getting quite the overbite. She was very nervous and didn't like him wiggling her teeth. She also told him she didn't want to stop sucking her thumb yet. He told me she was probably ok until she lost her front teeth and then we would need to do something. She swore that her teeth were not loose at all. Two weeks later even though she tried as hard as she could not to lose it one of her front teeth fell out.

It's a good thing the tooth fairy made it worth her while because she was not happy about it at all. She still swears the other tooth is not wiggly too. I have a feeling we might be back to the orthodontist in the next couple of months.
