Anarya's 3rd Birthday

Baby girl was glad to have everyone home and then we sang Happy Birthday to her and gave her presents on top of that!

Children's Museum

Joel and the three big girls are at Girls Camp this week. Today is Anarya's 3rd birthday but we want to wait for everyone to get home before we celebrate. Some friends invited us to the Children's Museum. We'd been years ago, but they've moved to a new location and it is phenomenal!

The water room is the first one you come to after you enter and we stayed there for a long time because Anarya loved it! We returned before we left too.

Shinara loved the Animal Hospital room. (Anarya did too since it had stuffed animals in it.)

After coming home from the museum, we went out for birthday doughnuts at Krispy Kreme. As you can see, Anarya enjoyed hers.

Keddi's Texas Trip

The girls are always treated to a good time when they take their 6th grade trip to Texas. If they get straight A's their 6th grade year, we send them on a trip. They can go to any of our extended family members they would like but so far all the girls have chosen Texas. (There is so much family there!)

Keddi's trip was no exception. So many family members took her places and came to visit her while she was there. She had a fabulous 10 days and did not want to come home. That is the only downside to getting to go on this trip.

Larinda Schott

Larinda served as the Young Women's President for a good portion of the time that Mardi and Tersa were in it. Now she and her family are moving to Oregon. Joel and I just started getting to know them better and spend time with them on dates and such and we are bummed they are moving. Debbie is her visiting teacher and threw a brunch for her before she moved. This is the group that came.

Me, Debbie Enniss, Larinda Schott, Jennie Jackson, Renee Brewer and Dawn Robinette

Present from Keddi

Keddi went to Texas for 10 days because she had completed her 6th grade year with straight A's. When she came home, she came bearing gifts!

Keddi has a small Koala bear that Anarya won't leave alone. She made this one for Anarya in the hopes that Anarya would leave hers alone. We shall see.
