Christmas Program

 The COOL 6th graders!  This is his last year in elementary! :( Cole did a great job in singing....even if he's to cool for this now! :)

 2nd graders are such a blast to watch. Super Cute! Bug was so animated, it was darling.

  I am lame at the computer. This was suppose to be a picture of Meryn. I got the twins instead so they will go first. Ashton and Azure's school program. Last year of preschool!

 Awe! Too Cute! I love Azure and Ashton's smile...even if Azwa is looking away! She's smiling!

Meryny! The Kindergarten's were so sweet. Super cute! Ryn's reindeer ears kept flopping over. Wahoo! School is out for Christmas now...we can relax for a while!

Ties

There are many times I  have walked in on moments like this. Bryce teaching our children. I love it! He is a great teacher and a great companion. I love when he teaches the children about the true principals of the gospel. He is a great leader. I am grateful he is the head of our family. :)  I thought it was to  precious,  not to take a picture. Bryce teaching our son to tie his tie. Cole is upgrading to the "real tie". So long zipper  tie! Cole is growing up too fast! It makes us sad.  He is such a great kid, with such  a tender heart! He works hard at getting good grades, he  wakes HIMSELF up at 5am (on school days) to prepare for the day. He can fix about anything! (just like his father) He got 160% in his  technology class . How that happens I don't know? He's to smart for his own good! :) We are grateful to be his parents! He keeps us in line in some things which, I'm grateful for. For the most part our children are the examples.  He is a blessing to our lives and we are grateful to have you... SOUP, PUP, Colei Pokei for BEING you!

Thanksgiving bliss

 Ally...

Dad and Bryce

Spence & mom 
Our Thanksgiving was great! On Wednesday night we had a surprise visit from Ally & Spence and their kids. Mom got a few games for the kids and they were elated to play. Our first game...HedbandZ. Super fun! We loved playing with the kids. I think the adults had more laughs then the children. :) Thanksgiving morning was calm and peaceful. Mom made the turkey! Which I was grateful for! NO, thanks in taking care of the bird. EWW. We played games, chatted and simply enjoyed each others  company. Not to mention we  turned on the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. We got to have grandma Kay over for dinner! That was a treat! We also had my cousin KC Boyce over too. He couldn't make it home for the holidays so we got to enjoy his company too. What a great kid! We really enjoyed the weekend. We are extremely GRATEFUL for our SAVIOR and his example, the scriptures to learn of him, our family and friends who love and support us, Our health, our freedoms, our home and our blessings! WE are grateful for all of these things as we continually strive to serve in righteousness. 

Adventures of the CIRCUS

Bryce got tickets for us to go to the Circus! We got front row VIP. The kids have never been to one before so this was fascinating to them. They would not allow us to take pictures of the performances so this is all that I got. (claiming that we got to go.) The performers were awesome. We discovered that the circus brings out quite the crowd! We realized we love being in our cozy area....Highland. :)
