Travis and Tiffany Hatch Family: June 2009

Phoenix, May 24th

On Sunday, we took the kids around Berk's neighborhood. Braxton drove the wagon train full of precious cargo-- and he was yelled at the entire way!
"Not so fast", "Watch where you're going", "Be careful tonto!" He did a good job though.

Unfortunately, his basketball team didn't do such a good job. They lost all four of their games in the Phoenix tournament.

2009 Ballet Recital, May 23rd

Celeste and Nikelle with their ballet teacher from Russia, Miss Olga. The girls performed in "Sleeping Beauty". Nikelle was in a duet and a group dance with the older classes, and Celeste was a fairy in one of the dances with the little girls. They did a great job, and the recital was beautiful!

Brooke is wearing part of Nikelle's costume. Sadly, Brooke and I were the only ones at the recital. Because the performance was on Memorial Day weekend, everyone was out of town, including Braxton and Travis. They were at a basketball tournament in Phoenix, so right after the recital the girls and I headed to Phoenix.

My Trip to Utah for Grandpa's 84th B-day 5/1 - 5/2

We had a nice dinner at my mom's house for my Grandpa Allen's 84th birthday.

While I was in Utah, I was able to see the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Gorgeous!

Jamie with her girls, Brinnly and Capri. Too cute!

Brinn twirling in the tulips.

I'm with my mom in the Secret Garden--this my girl's favorite place at Thanksgiving Point.

Braxton's 12th Birthday

Brax wanted a "trick bike" for his b-day.
He spent the rest of the day ramping around the backyard.

He would go over the ramp in our yard and then ride down the stairs into Trent & Anne's yard. Yes, our grass is yellow. Grass in El Paso isn't green until July.

He was excited and ready to receive the Priesthood.

We basically celebrated Braxton's birthday from April 15th - April 19th. This picture is from the Sunday dinner we had with lots of family and friends after his priesthood ordination on Sunday.
