Preschool Graduate!

This boy is an official preschool graduate!  He's all ready for kindergarten if I can bear to let him go. I'm still not sure I can send him off!   I have loved being Matson's  preschool teacher the last two years!  He is witty, smart, and sensitive.  He has me wrapped around his little finger and he knows it!  I wish I could keep him four forever!

Our little graduate.  John surprised us and came home to see Matson graduate!

Payson Temple

Enjoyed the temple open house for the beautiful new Payson Temple.  Happy for my sister to have a temple so close and happy she watched two of my boys while we went!  

Willy Wonka

 This was Kelsie's first production at the Junior High.  She was cast as a "candy kid" in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  It was fun part and she enjoyed performing with a couple really good friends that she did theatre with at Thunder Ridge (Sydney and Lindsey). 

It was very well done and a darling show.  She loved being a part of Willy Wonka.  Can't wait to see what next year brings!

Fall Trip to St. George

Just found these pics I uploaded and never posted.  This was from an amazing, quick trip to St. George in November.  I'm hoping to start finding time and energy to blog again.  I'm really hoping :) 

We arrived while the Barker kids were all at school so we could surprise cute Brianna!  Kelsie was SO excited and the look on Bri's face made it all worth it!  They were so happy to be together!

 

We saw Uncle Drew's play at his new play house.  It was hilarious, as always!  Kelsie especially loves going to his shows.  She shares his love for theatre.  Afterwards we got to stay at Drew and Julie's new house and have lots of fun time with cousins!

The next day we went to the Children's Museum with the Drew, Julie, and the Barker's.  The kids put on shows, dressed up, fixed cars, and had a great time with friends and cousins. 

These two cousins are too cute!  They adore each other and have so much fun.  This picture was about the cutest thing I'd ever seen.  Matson can't wait to see Sterling again!

Went on a few hikes around St. George and enjoyed the gorgeous weather in November.  A fun, quick family trip!
