Family is not an important thing ~ it is everything
Chris caught a few fish from this river by our campsite. He once had Paige on his back and was fly fishing. He caught a fish and Paige touched it. Then, he caught a second that was quite large. Paige told Chris that the fish "was scary" and she did not want anything to do with it. Chris said that was the best compliment anyone could ever give.
All our kids enjoy casting even though they do not have hooks on their poles. Braden is the only one that fishes with a hook.
Aubrielle's baptism was very special. She was able to be baptized on her birthday with her cousin Logan (Natalie's son). She also had lots of family there to support her. We had family drive from Colorado, Kaysville, Spanish Fork, Salt Lake and even Arizona!! It was so neat to have all of our family there. I know that Aubrielle has made a great decision to get baptized. I know more and more that Heavenly Father can make more of our lives than we can alone.
I am also so grateful to have a wonderful husband that holds the priesthood and honors it.
Kenzie had her Kindergarten Program in which they sang, sang, sang! They all did a cute job. In this video, Kenzie has on the bright green shirt. McKenzie loved Kindergarten, her teacher and her friends. She now can't wait for first grade when she can miss naptime and eat lunch at school.
Aubrielle had a Hannah Montana party this year. We had her friends over, ate pizza, made a Hannah Montana purse, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, did a pinata, danced the "Hoedown, Showdown" and then watched the "Hannah Montana Movie". While we watched the movie, we made bracelets. I think all the girls had a lot of fun.
Braden was taught to play chimes at school this year. This is his end of year performance. He is the third kid over with a yellow shirt. It was so neat to see all the programs that Braden was able to participate in this year. He was in a school play, he learned to dance with a partner, he had "Olympics", Decade Days, chess tournamets, krypto tournaments and more. We have been very pleased that he was able to go to Spectrum this year.
Aubrielle and McKenzie were not only in the same dance studio but also in the same dance and gymnastic classes. They enjoyed having each other and they LOVED their teachers especially Brooke.
Their teacher was so cute and gave them all flowers after their performance.
We are so glad to have family that come and support us at all our kids' performances!
McKenzie said she had a loose tooth. I said, "Let me feel it." And, like magic the tooth is out- before she even knew what was going on. The only problem is now none of my kids will let me feel their loose teeth. Oh, how I love to pull teeth. Thanks Amy for the cute "Tooth Fairy Pillow".
