The month of June was super busy.  Ammon and I both went to Youth Conf and Girls Camp.  Not only did we go as leaders, but we had to prepare for the activities and clean up too (but that is a given :).  Anyway, the kids were troopers, spending a few nights at Driel and Evans (Thank you, thank you!) while we were gone.  I enjoyed the opportunities, but am very glad to be home, clean, have my own bed, and be with my kids!

Eating dinner the first night of Youth Conf.

Sterling all beautiful with his own make up job.  He must put on make up whenever Mom does!

The kids with their “sea monster” creations for summer storytime at the library.

Busy June ended with summer weather and the start of boat season!

Bridget’s Preschool graduation.  Logan went to afternoon kindergarten, so he also was in preschool.

Kimball and all the 4th grade kids went on a pioneer handcart trek.  I joined them in the gathering field for lunch and pioneer activities.  The trek was all of 2 miles…and the kids gained a big understanding of the pioneers going west.

Mid month:  Logan, Bridget, Sterling and I joined aunts, uncle, and cousins at the dino museum.

One week before school ended was the annual dance festival and field day.  It was a fun busy day for all.

Logan (kindergarten) danced the “Humpty Dumpty”

Calvin (first grade) danced “The 3 little pigs.”  The boys were the big bad wolf!

Kimball (4th grade) did square dancing.

Nice face paint!  Logan wanted an army guy.

Visiting the cemetery to remember loved ones on Memorial day!  It was tough to get any pics…silly kids.

April ended with Logan’s kindergarten program and his 6th birthday!  He wanted a pirate theme.  I had fun making a treasure chest cake and hiding to be the prize at the end of the treasure hunt!  Happy birthday (2 months later) to my little Logan!

I have not been blogging…there is so much to share…I plan to post pics of the last few months…I hope you enjoy.

From the month of March!

Preschool field trip to the grocery store.  Sterling really enjoyed his icecream, amazingly he did not drip on his shirt.

Logan is thinking “yummy”

Calvin had a talent show at school and played 2 pieces for his class!  Calvin and Kimball started piano lessons in February, Logan joined the lessons in April.

Fourth graders had hands on learning.  Here is Kimball after the Mountain Man Rendevous.

Bridget and Ammon ready for the daddy daughter dance.  She was so excited to dress up and go dancing!

Sterling says “Happy Anniversary mom and dad.”  March 27th we celebrated our 11th anniversary.  Sterling loves hats of all varieties, but especially Calvin’s winter hat.

The year is zooming by.  Here are a few things we did in the month of January.

New years day, building a slide and sledding in the front yard.

Calvin started the fun…and we all joined in.  In the end we went to a park and did some serious sledding!

Sterling got his first haircut.  Such a sweetie.

Kimball had his first pinewood derby.  His car was the “fast surfer.”

He also performed in his 4th grade music program.  He had fun singing and dancing.

Sunday afternoons are full of happy children!  What funny faces.

We got to visit with family.  It was fun to hold and meet all the new babies!
