Sadie's for Walt

 Walt had a great time at Sadie’s. The theme was “Jersey Out”.

6th Grade Egypt Project

This is a huge 6th Grade project and Clark was so excited about it!

 

Clark also loved doing this Dragon in Art last week.

Jane

We have no more SANTA believers.

 

Last week Jane asked me after school, "tell me the truth, is Santa real?" I asked her what she thought. She said, her friend told her to think about it, We give our Christmas list to our parents, they get all the packages, they're the ones buying our gifts, not Santa. I told her the story of St. Nick and who he was. How he was a good person who wanted to bring gifts to lots of kids. Later, many other people wanted to do the same thing. So in a way we are all Santa's, we all bring gifts to one another.  

An old picture of the kids with "Santa" (missing Max).

Poor Jane...

Uncle Greg & Ella

I just love these pics. of Uncle Greg and Ella cutting down a Christmas Tree.

 

Temple Day

 Danny and I took Van, Daisy & Walt to do baptisms at the Draper Temple.

Van got to do temple work for my Grandpa Milton Gravell.

We took them to lunch afterwards.

Thanksgiving Weekend

When you have a small tree and this many helpers it really only takes about this long to set it up, haha! (Unfortunately, the tripod broke, so not the best timeline video this year).

It was nice having Kurt and Michael join us for Thanksgiving.

Love having my kids home for Thanksgiving break. We played lots of basketball, went to the movies, shopping and the big kids went out to eat to a couple of their favorite places together. They’re best friends and this brings me so much joy. I love this family of mine!

Primary Program

This was Clark's last Primary Program. 

I forgot to take a picture of them on the day of the program, 

but someone in the ward took a picture during the program and I stole it from social media. 

Here's Jane singing on the right.

Clark shared a long primary paragraph plus this...

"When we have family scriptures and prayers, I gain a stronger testimony of my Savior."

Jane said, "when I was baptized I felt Christ's love."

I got to go to the Saratoga Springs Temple.

 

Sadie's for Van

 Van had a fun night at Sadie’s last Saturday. Cute Cowgirl and Country Club theme.

Van in the very back chocking his friend, making everyone laugh.

Happy 17th Birthday to our boy Van!

 

Our beautiful homebirth baby. 10 pounds

Van

Van has a new accessory. He fractured his foot in 3 places and will need to wear this boot for 4-6 weeks. *Warning do not wear crocs while playing basketball.

He's still tough though,
