Drama Club Debut and Haley's 12th Birthday

In the spring, Haley and Allie participated in a drama club with two of their friends. To finish the semester, they had to write and perform a sketch.  They did a comedy called "End of the World Forecast" based on their favorite comedy sketch from Studio C.  Haley played the weather anchor and Allie played a little girl excited that school was cancelled. The joke was that it would have to be the end of the world before homeschooling is cancelled.

Turning 12 is a big birthday for Haley.  She moved from the primary program at church to the youth program where the teenagers are, earned her Faith in God award from primary, got to attend girls camp for the first time this summer and she is able to attend the Temple now.  We're so proud of her.

Grammy and Pop Pop met us at the Temple for Haley's first visit.  They took us to dinner afterwards and we had a great time.  We're thrilled they could make it.

Happy Birthday Haleybug!

My Cuties!

I love this picture of Sarah Kathryn and Rachel and I couldn't remember if I had posted it or not.  They were walking into church, arm-in-arm, matching dresses and bare feet and I just happened to capture the moment.  They're so beautiful!

Spring Soccer

 We signed Joseph up for spring soccer this year and he just finished a season of fall soccer.  We signed him up to give him an outlet for his undending energy supply and opportunities to hang out with other boys.  He's really enjoyed himself.  His favorite position is goalie and he tied with another little boy for fastest runner on the team.

In a couple of weeks he'll start basketball and Brent signed up to coach.  Joseph is ecstatic!

Rachel's Birthday

We celebrated Rachel's 3rd birthday with a family party.  Grandma, Papa and Great Gran were able to join us.

Rachel asked for a booster seat for her birthday.  She was tired of riding in a car seat and wanted a booster seat like the older children.

She loved the butterfly birthday cake Grandma and Papa picked out.

Nana and Grandpa sent this little dress for Rachel's birthday.  She obviously thinks she's rockin' it because her pose says, "Adore me !"
