Liza sharing Carly with her cousins! This was after Liza let all of Will's preschool class hold her. She has been so sweet to let other kids have a turn with her new bunny; it's been very sweet to see!

Kev had the day off, and spent it at kindergarten reading to Dane and Jonah's class, and also at Will's preschool party! (Liza didn't go to school today or he would have visited her classroom too). What a dad!

Will's card to Miss Kristi; she loved it!

Preschool Party

Will's preschool party at Papa and Abba's was soooo cute! The kids played in the treehouse, caught bugs, sang songs and heard Miss Kristi read a story. Such a fun day :)

Kids making cards for their teachers.

Liza and Ivie brought their bunnies shopping with me! They were the hit of the mall!

Sophie and Carly meeting for the first time.

Liza's First Backflips!!!

Liza worked for two months to get Carly, her little bunny! She did a poster presentation on the care and keeping of bunnies, built a hutch for it with Kevin, and paid for it herself! Go Liza!

Dane (#4) and Jonah (#7) had their last soccer game of the year last week!
Kids with Grandma!

Four kids, one Mom, and three hours later, Uncle John and his crew had all of our teeth shining!

When Jonah saw that Will needed a push on the swings, he didn't hesitate to help.

At the park!

We had a fun park day with Charlie, Juliet and Alex! All of the boys took turns holding baby Juliet! So cute!

Liza, Kate and I got to see Jake White, along with 4 other guitarists, in concert! They were fantastic!

Dane and Jones!!

Mothers Day

We had an amazing day celebrating Mothers! At home, the kids and Kev gave me a couple of beautiful dresses and darling artwork they had for me. Then at church, the primary kids all sang to the moms, which was so sweet, and Liza and I got to sing together with some of the other 11-year old girls and their moms. So great! We then got to celebrate Judy by taking her to brunch at Little America (I will upload those pics from our big camera soon, Judy... I am just posting pics taken on my phone today and dont have any of our brunch on here). Afterward, the grand kids sidewalk chalked Abbas driveway with loving Mothers Day messages. She loved it! We are so thankful for our mamas!

Julie Warr, Janalynne Stayner and Jamie Short volunteered at Kate's Red Rock Relay in Moab and had a blast cheering on runners through the exchange stations and selling RRR gear at registration.

Dane Without Training Wheels!

Papa came to preschool to talk with Will's class about what doctors do in our community. Will was soooooo excited to have him there!

Will wants to be a policeman when he grows up!

Will worked all morning gluing fruit loops on this poster to make a rainbow. He even brought it to the gym do he could work while I exercised and the ladies there all loved it. Dane and Jones helped him finish; what a project!

Heaven on earth; what a breathtaker!

Top of Angels Landing! Stunning !

Liza and Mom's Girls Time Out!

Tammi shellacked our nails today in bright red for the Christmas season!

Will's Community Preschool Field Trip

Will (in the hood) and his class have been studying communities this year in preschool. As a special treat, they got to visit some places in our community- the grocery store, the fire station, and a dentist's office!

Tonight, Jonah got happy tears while he was saying his prayers "thinking of all the wonderful things God has created."

Driving to get carpool, Jonah asked me to check his math... Is 365 plus 365 really 730?

It took a calculator for me to confirm what his kindergarten brain figured out on his own; wow Jones!
