Spring 2011

In March for our Authors Night BRANDON MULL came!

It was our biggest night yet! Weston has quite the stack of books to be signed.

I will always be thankful to Brandon Mull, Fable Haven, and Mrs. Hopkins(3rd grade) for helping foster Weston's love for reading!

Sally and I were almost as excited as the kids!
Brandon Mull was great! The signing line went from the senior citizen gym clear back to the young adult section, and he stayed until everyone got their books signed.

THE DISNEY PROGRAM

For the 3rd grade Disney Program this year,
Bekah was a Pirate in A Pirate's life for me!

A Marti Gras dancer in "Topsy Turvey"

A Dalmatian puppy in "Cruella DeVil"

And a Hippo in "I just can't wait to be King"

She had fun being part of the program and could be heard practicing the songs all spring.

Gramie's 85th Birthday party!

We went to Klint's play "Guys and Dolls" for her birthday.
Klint played a gambler called Harry the Horse. It was a good musical with a lot fun songs.

Weston's Arrow of Light!

Pining the Webelos badge on his Dad!

Grandma Susy and her Order of the Arrow Tribe helped her with the ceremony.
The young braves had to learn about the 7 qualities needed to be warriors before they could receive their awards.

We drew a arrow on Weston's cheek to remind him to always be straight and true.

Grandma Susy made each of the boys a necklace with special beads to remind them of all they had learned.

Congratulations to
Gunner, Conner, Weston, and Drew
4 Crazy scouts with their Arrows of Light!

Bekah has been taking voice lessons this spring and really likes it.

A Beautiful Day!

On Sunday March 9th, we went down to SLC for Lyn's cousin Lori's baby blessing. Lori's daughter Samantha, has had a hard start at life, but is now doing so much better. It was good to go down and be able to share this special day with the Flitton cousins. Anyway it was so nice and warm down there, they don't even have anymore snow. It felt like Spring. So I talked Lyn into taking us to the Salt Lake Temple to walk around.
This is the kids by the Conference Center Roof Fountain.
The Temple looks so beautiful against the clear blue sky!
The kids had a blast playing in the fountains!
The best part of course was to get to see the statue of Jesus Christ, and feel the spirit there. Weston said that was his favorite part too. It was so peaceful to just be there and walk around the grounds on such a beautiful Sunday day. My favorite purple crocuses were even starting to bloom. Spring is coming soon!
