Prima Ballerina

Anyone who knows Lexi knows she loves to dance. If there is music she is dancing, even when there is not music she is usually dancing.

Lexi was so excited to finally start ballet. She loves her teacher Miss Mimi and having her cousin Riley in class with her. It is probably a welcomed change from dancing in the kitchen with her dad.

Gymnastics is a close second to ballet. Her teacher is a former Ute gymnast and keeps the class very focused.

Lexi fills our life with everything wonderful and girly. I hope she will always continue to dance like no one is watching.

Go Utes!

Well, the Utes are off to a great start! We enjoyed the game last Saturday including the fireworks in honor of the ten year anniversary of the stadium's renovation.

Utah football is a huge part of our lives every fall. Peyton has been going to games since he was just a few months old to cheer on dad as he played. When Peyton was born Urban Meyer brought a Utah football outfit to the hospital for him. So I guess you could say football is in his blood. He looks forward to every game and has been to almost every home game in the last five years.

My family has even gotten involved in the action. While Lance was playing they went to almost every game (home and away). That is pretty impressive seeing as they are all USU and BYU graduates.

The boys in my family still like to take a road trip every now and then. Lance seems to always manage to schedule business trips that coincide with Utah games. He had a great time in Michigan watching the Utes big win.

Utah football is a big part of the whole Rice crew. It has been a fun tradition to have in our family.

There he goes...

Well, today was the big day that Peyton started Kindergarten. He was so excited he woke up three times wondering if it was morning.

I can't believe Peyton is old enough to start school. Time sure has passed quickly from when he was born and learning to walk and talk to now learning to read and be independent. I will miss having my best little buddy around to talk and laugh with every morning. Luckily, Lexi will still be around to entertain her mom.
