Evan's Baby Blessing
Megan and Bobby blessed their baby on the 4th of July. He looked sweet and adorable!
My favorite part is the smile on my sister's face!!
Aren't they a cute family?
Evan's Grandparents - do they look adoring or what?
Manti Pageant
A few weeks ago we loaded the kids up and made the drive to Manti to see the Manti Pageant. I haven't been since I was a college student which was a REALLY long time ago. It was fun to take the kids. I was so impressed with the youth that were in the cast. They spent the time before the pageant started walking through the crowd talking with everyone, sharing their testimonies and encouraging contacts. They were so full of life and happy. You could see the spirit shining in them!
The show was magnificent and the evening was beautiful (if a little chilly). We are so blessed to have so many wonderful opportunities within driving distance! Though I have to admit the drive home was very long!! (did I mention that I am getting older - 2 am driving is a lit harder than it was when I was in college!)
This is of course one of my favorite scenes.
The story of Christ blessing the children touches my heart each time I read or hear it.
It was an amazing experience and I am so happy to have shared it with my family!
Baby Evan
This beautiful little guy joined our family on May 31st.
He is the son of my sister and her husband.
I was lucky enough to be able to see him just after coming home from the hospital.
So Sweet!
I love the picture all curled up in a ball - and of course the toes!
Welcome little guy!
Memorial Day
It has become a tradition since my Dad died to visit the Brigham City Cemetery on Memorial Day.
I love that it provides a connection for my kids to their grandfather even though that never knew him.
We also have the chance to visit the grave sites of their great grandparents and several other family members.
I also love that they take it so personally. That is doesn't just seem something to me - it means something to them.Of Course - no visit would be complete without the obligatory wade in the canal!
Talent Show
The YM/YW had a talent show back in May. I was so impressed with my boys who worked together to do their own arrangement of "Fireflies" It was fun to hear them practicing and working together and I am amazed at them that they were so willing to share their talents! Jarom also performed a song that he had written himself. Wow! He also performed it at his school's guitar concert and did a solo in his school's choir performance. I am so grateful that they are not afraid to participate and share their talents! They both are way more daring than I ever was -thank goodness for that!
Love you both!
Disney Dance!
(the obligatory tongue!)
The show was complete with an Electric Light Parade for the finale! It was awesome!!
Kayleen loves the flowers that she receives afterwards. It's a little sad that she will not be doing dance next year. We have decided to consolidate activities and pick one to concentrate on. She choose the flute. But I am glad for the 4 years of Dance that she has had and for her wonderful teachers!
