End of School

Kirsten absolutely loved preschool this year with Miss Amanda. Kirst has always been kind of a shy kid. She never wanted to sing with the primary in Sacrament Meeting and she always had a hard time going to Primary without me. I was afraid that she would get scared at her preschool program and not want to do her parts and sing with the other kids. She totally blew me away with how brave she was! They did the cutest song and dance and I had the biggest smile on my face through the whole thing! I was so proud of her! Now about singing in Sacrament meeting...


Then two weeks ago, I was asked to come and speak to my father-in-law's ward who were doing a youth conference at Dance Hall Rock (above) and the Hole in the rock. I had never done a fireside without my dad and my brother so I was a little nervous but Kyle spoke before me and it went really well.
Kirsten loved being on the desert for this trip and kept chasing lizards and naming them. We took this picture of her on a giant lizard at the visitor's center.

Jannika also had her end of the year program where the kids did a jungle play. She was a monkey and did really well with her part despite having broken her arm the day before! Yeah, she was running inside the school from recess and ran into a boy. She put her arms out in front of her and broke one of the bones in her left arm. She stayed at school and didn't have tons of pain but didn't want to play the piano that night and it swelled up really bad so we took her to the doctor and got a cast put on. She's a trooper!

Oh no! Poor Jannika! And cute Kirsten doing her program, Sophie was alwasy so shy doing anything so the first time she actually said the prayer in primary by herself I cried! And I am sure you guys did an awesome fireside. Wish we could visit the desert this year and catch lizards. The girls still talk about when we saw the dinosaur footprint!

Poor Jan! I hope it heals fast so she can keep having a great summer! Great pictures! I love it when my kids surprise me!
