Fun with Oranges

Dinner time turned playtime



Picture of Keltsy

Jesse wanted to try painting a picture of Keltsy, so he took her outside and took some snapshots to use as a reference. This one is my favorite one.

Memorable Visit

As high school as it sounds, there are a few people in this world I consider my BFF (best friend forever). The kind of friend that has a bond so deep, you can go days, weeks, months, even years without talking - yet when you get together you can pick up right where you left off. One of those deep, dear friends is Melissa. She was one of my mission companions, roomates, bridesmaid, and will be my forever friend.
After a deep and personal loss, Melissa and her family came through our town for a visit. It was bitter sweet to see her, to share in the pain of their loss and to catch up and feel the joy of friendship and family. She has a courageous husband and three beautiful daughters. They have a beautiful eternal family.


Love you and your family Melissa!

Day of Splashing Fun!

These pictures speak for themselves!



Isaac's Last Day of 1st Grade!




And then Isaac had his last day. Another award ceremony for getting all As again - they don't start letter grading until 2nd grade, so his certificate says all Es.
He also got his first perfect attendance!

Keltsy's Preschool - Last Day of School Program!

Last day of school, last day of school! Keltsy, my big girl, had her last day of preschool with a bang. They had a cute little program, with singing and poems and lots of fun.
Thank you Miss Kim and Miss Jesika!



Easter!

Easter egg decorating is one of our favorite Easter activities. We just use water, food coloring, and a tablespoon of vinegar, instead of buying the kits.
The kids got a little fancy this year, layering, mixing, and striping their colors.
Gosh, he sure is getting big!
Oooo - stripey!
Sorry Spencer, you can watch this time, maybe next year you'll be big enough!

She sure looks more grown up with bangs!
Viola! Here's the eggs in all their glory!
