Today we had the seminary fireside to kick off this year’s seminary program. I took Kirstyn and she got to meet her new class and her teachers. They are studying the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History this year and so she is excited about that! She loves seminary and can’t wait for it to […]
Today we had a fun breakfast at church for the ward 24th of July activity. We got filled up and then after that, the youth did some family history work together and then went to the temple to do baptisms for youth conference. They had a lot of fun and it meant so much more
The boys are back in swimming lessons and they are going well! They love the water and want to go swimming ALL the time! Tonight our home teaching families came over for a 24th of July BBQ. Not sure why, but we didn’t get any pictures. Due to some rain, we had to cut the
Today, Ben lost his 2 front teeth! He was SO excited for 2 reasons: 1) the Tooth Fairy, and 2) he is becoming a “big boy!” We had to laugh about that. He’s quite the kid! In addition, today, Kirstyn came home from girl’s camp! She had a GREAT time and loved the experience! She

Yesterday we got Kirstyn all packed up and ready to go to girl’s camp. For the 4th year hike, everything they bring has to be packed on their backs. Since it is such a rigorous and demanding experience (hiking and living on the trail), they take it very seriously. Tonight we had to take all
Today we had our annual teacher appreciation dinner. Unfortunately, this year, there were some last-minute conflicts, so some of the teachers couldn’t come, but we did have most of the seminary teachers (Eisele, Hermann, and Dawson), and the girls’ choir director at CVHS, Heath Walter. We had a fun time eating, recognizing the teachers, and
Today we all went up as a ward to the Temple to perform some service. We pulled up old flowers and got the beds ready for planting. There were a LOT of flowers that were still really good that they were throwing away, so we got some bags, dug up some of them carefully, and
Tonight was Seminary Graduation! Kirstyn finished up her freshman year, and Brittany graduated with her 4 year certificate. Both also received the Stake President’s award.
