Primary Program

Last Sunday we had our primary program.  Julia and Jack had been working on their parts for a while and they both had their parts memorized.  This year for the program the kids also had a scripture that they had to memorize.  Luckily Jack's was the first Article of Faith, We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.   They kids had learned it about one month before for a FHE. Julia's was part of the six Article of Faith, We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church.  I teach in the primary so I wasn't able to watch the kids during the program.  Apparently Jack has a hard time sitting still.  During songs the three-year-olds were able to stand at the front of the stand.  He wouldn't sing he just kept winking, waving and pulling faces at the family. At one point, (I was told this I didn't see it happen) Jack walked off the stand to sit with my parents.  They sent him back up right away and he sort of stormed up pouting.  Julia did a beautiful job singing.  Both of the kids got new outfits for the program.   Ben did not want to be held for the picture.

It's been awhile

So I finally fixed my computer and now I can upload pictures from my camera. I have a few months to catch up on. I will start with the Youth parade our stake participated  in for the 24th of July. Julia, Jack and I walked the parade route on July 17. It was a short walk but we had to be there 2 1/2 hours before the parade started.  It was hot! After standing and waiting for almost 3 hours Jack did not want to walk, so I carried him most of the way down the route. It was fun for the kids but if I ever do it again I won't get there until just before the parade starts.
 Our theme was "Pioneer Spirit Then and Now, United in Song" The float had different wooden dolls that each ward made. Our ward's doll was blond and her name was Michelle Marie Wandamere. We all helped make the paper flowers that were on the float. Our ward's primary is small, even smaller when a few families weren't there.

Hey Ash. Look, I changed the background. When I am finished with my homework and insanity I will update this stinken blog. We miss you!!!!
Love,
All of us, most especially the kids!!!

Jack do you want a cookie?

Tonight for dinner I made shepard's pie. We ate around 7:15.  Jack was making a little stink about not eating so Moby told him he needed to try it and then he would remember that it is his favorite dinner. Jack put his head on the table. We thought that he was pouting (which he does really well). After about five minutes we realized that he hadn't lifted up his head. So we asked him if he was asleep. He didn't respond. Then we asked him if he wanted a cookie. Nothing, not even a giggle. After tempting him with a few of his favorite treats we decided that he really was asleep. I put him to bed and he is still there. It was so funny. We were laughing a lot.

Ben's new do

Ben is nine months old.  His hair was getting to the point where it was almost in his eyes, so it was time to get it cut. I kept putting it off because as soon as I would get it cut he would no longer be my little baby, he would be my little man. Getting a baby's hair cut automatically makes him that much older. For as much as he hates having his hair brushed, he did a great job. It was so cute to see him in the little chair. He only tried to move the lady's hand a couple of times. Isn't he so handsome?!!

Swimming

I can tell you where we will be spending much of our summer.  My parents bought an awesome above ground swimming pool. The initiatory BBQ and pool party was June 5. It was fun. My kids (and Moby) love the water. Poor Ben was really sick for almost two weeks so he couldn't swim. I had to hold him almost the whole time.  Luckily my parents were there to help hold him.  This next part is from Julia to her Aunt Ash. "We miss you so much Ash. We wish you could come swimming with us at Grandma's house. We love you!!!"

May in Pictures

We have done many things during May. Sorry. This will be a massive amount of pictures.

We have gone to parks.

Julia had her Kindergarten program. She did an awesome job of singing and was so happy.

We went camping with my family. We went to the Diamond Forks campground. It was a ton of fun!!!
