Drew graduated from Kindergarten last week. Even though I have seen the program four previous times, I still love it just the same and somehow manage to shed a few tears each time. This program wasn’t any different. It was fast, but yet so sweet. We have loved having Mrs. Beck as Drew’s teacher (I …

Spring Choir Concert
Both Katelyn and Claire joined the Highland Children’s Choir this year. Katelyn has always loved singing. She easily picks up on pitches and tones and such. Claire likewise loves to sing. Since she was a very little girl, I would often find her humming or singing while she played. Due to the sibling discount the …
Preschool Graduation
Ellie finished her first year of preschool at Bear Hollow this year. For the program, each student had to memorize a nursery rhyme and perform it for the class. Ellie was one of the mice in “Three Blind Mice.” I have to say she was one cutest mice I have ever seen! I was worried …
Claire’s Baptism
Claire was baptized on Saturday, May 3rd into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We always look forward to these important milestones in our children’s lives. Claire’s special day was nothing less than amazing. She had been counting down the days until she could finally be like her big brother and sisters. Claire …

Meadow Hot Springs
We went camping last weekend and had a blast. It is always a lot of work, but we usually have a great time together. The drive was pretty significant since we went all the way down to White Sand Mountain, just west of Meadow, UT. Uncle Bryan had been down there a few times with …
Happy Birthday Great Grandpa Walt!
We were able to get together and see Great Grandpa Walt just before his birthday. When I grew up, I rarely saw my Grandpa, much less my GREAT Grandpa. I often remind my kids how fortunate they are to be able to see him so often. On his actual birthday Jake and Grandpa went golfing …

We have a big family. When we had the opportunity to get six tickets to the Sunday morning session of LDS General Conference we snapped them up. We made arrangements for Drew and Ellie to hang out with Rachel and Spencer and their kids. The rest of us were excited to go attend conference all …
