Stake Valiant Activity

This is our 5th Primary Stake activity and by this time, we are pros at planning, decorating and executing! We chose a midevil theme for this years camp and had a real live knight come visit our camp. Our Stake RS Pres's dad makes his own armor and wears it and attends festivals and things like that. His home is full of knights in the foyer! How fun. We invited, decorated, organized and carried out this fun activity. 

Decorations were so simple, and fun!

It was fascinating to hear him speak about his armor and how each piece protects him and he related everything spiritually too. It was a great activity!

And his armor was incredible! 

I think the kids loved it and we had a pretty good turn out! 

They have been fun, but I reallllly hope this is my last one! 
 

Memorial Day at Grandmas

We had no Memorial Day plans and Chad had the weekend off, so we headed to Moore! We jokingly invited Chet and Mindy and they agreed to come too! We had a good ol time in grandmas yard roasting hot dogs and playing games. There is no other more happy peaceful place than their back yard. I love being there! 

One afternoon we drove up to King Mountain and soaked in the views. We were lucky enough to catch some paragliders jumping off the mountain. It was so neat to see. I got quite sick driving up there and coming down! I do not like heights in a car!

There was plenty of 4wheeler riding too. Carter would live there if I'd let him. 

Handsome guys on Sunday. 

Cute Moe and Mol

Church was real hard after all the playing we did!

Fruit pizza was a must for the holiday and it really hit the spot!

One day we went to Crater's of the Moon to wander around. It was SO windy! Chase and Hollin and Emma and Keeler came out and went with us and we had a good time climbing through caves and over rocks and seeing all the lava formations. 

And on Memorial day we visted graves. We haven't done this in years! It was a special moment to hear memories as we sat at the grave sites. 

This is Evelyns mom and dad I believe and her brother who was accidentally shot in their home while cleaning guns. What a sad thing to witness and see. 

On the way home, I really wanted to stop in Moreland and see my grandparents grave. Gosh I miss these two! They were always a source of comfort to me. I always felt safe with them. They were always warm and welcoming. 

I'm so glad that I know families can be together forever. What a great comfort that is to me!

6th Grade Promotion

Bri is done with Elementary School! Hooray! Rose Springs put on the cutest, sentimental program. There were tears and happy times! How did she go through these 6 years so quick?!

She was honored for Student Council and got to walk across the stage when they called her name. Just like graduation. 

I made a cute little boquet for her. 

Carter and Mollie were very excited for any reason to skip school so they came to support their sister and she was so happy to see them!

Bye Bye Rose Springs!

Peace out, Andrew! He's going to Clark N Johnson next year. 

Mrs Nielsen helped her have an amazing 6th grade year. 

She's still one of Mollie's favorites. 

After the promotion, they had a big 6th grade lake party. And the weather was even pretty decent to swim a bit. 

How cool is it to have a 6th grade lake party?! So fun!

 Congrats Brielle!
