April-June 2023 Highlights

I'll always treasure the years I got to spend learning from these wonderful ladies in the Relief Society Presidency. This was a calling I wasn't very excited to accept. I even called Jenny Roberts to make sure she actually felt inspired it needed to be me. (I had just been in the primary presidency and was very worn out from demands in the home.) I really came to love these ladies and learned so much from them: Jenny Roberts, Lora Beth Brown, and Jamie Johnson.

Our Christmas present to Gigi was taking her out to dinner and to the symphony!

I took this picture because I thought it was funny Gigi and Cameron were both asleep. And then I realized basically the entire row is asleep hahaha. Not exactly a rave review for the symphony.

Violet and Anna

My studio recital! I love these kids so much: Lia Shinsato, Kristen Katz, Max, Fiona Baker, Liam Wallace, Kimball Case, and Luke Mabey. 

Very into painting these days.

Lots of outings to the park with Violet and Davis after school once the weather warmed up.

Concerto Festival!

Park date with the Craguns and Thomases

My little sous chefs

Happy Bday to Rachel and Ellie!

We live in the best neighborhood ever. A classic game of hands up stands up.

Farm trip!

Max made it to the honors recital! I think he played a Haydn Concerto.

I took him to Pizzeria 712 to celebrate.

Some yard work with dad.

Cameron came to teach Andy's grade about entrepreneurship.

Kindergarten graduation for our Violet girl.

Davis finds unique ways to torture me. Putting all of these scrabble pieces in this expensive arrangement was one of them. I finally realized I could buy gigantic tweezers on amazon to get them out.

Andy's cute 6th grade class.

Andy's class doing the space center field trip.

We did a kids market in the neighborhood. Max charged people to use his claw machine.

Violet's cute table at the market.

Cameron and I did a date night at this weird virtual place and I didn't realize til the whole thing ended that I was wearing my visor over my eyes and it was supposed to be further up haha.

Field trip lunch for Maxy

I got to go on the kindergarten fieldtrip to Heehaw Farms with Violet. Solomon, Doran, Violet, and Clara.

Max's cute mother's day program in Mrs. Banks class.

Steel Titans game. This has been such a great team for Andy!

Cameron's spring MCO concert.

Blakely and Jason came to the MCO concert too!

I think this is Max playing in the school wide talent show! Or it could have been the grade?

Andy's first night in his new room in the basement! Not all the furniture had arrived. He's very excited to have his own room and no longer share with Max. :)

Why is Davis so cute?

Pedicure with my Violet girl.

Davis's graduation from Wendy School. (Yes, he did 2 preschools this year.)

Davis loves Miss Wendy.

Class program for Max! He's loved Mrs. Banks. He and Ollie are good buddies too. (Same bday!)

Dance recital for Violet!

Violet loves her teacher Miss Zoey.

The mountain biking season has begun!

Steel Titans team pic

Davis is crazy

The back of Violet and Monroe. They're so sweet.

Singers Co concert!

Cameron with his mission president! Their granddaughters do Singers Co too.

Violet loved wearing her cute glasses, especially since they covered up her huge black eye. Poor thing!

Dance Festival!

Some sort of 6th grade event for Andy.

Davis and Trey at their graduation.

Kate and Violet at our neighborhood end of school celebration.

Rachel and Anna

Max swimming with Eli and Danielle

Dentist appt for the cutest girl

Manila Pond with some ward friends!

I ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon with some gym friends.

Cutest friends giggling.

Trying out the new ice cream store, Cream Worx.

Just a crazy summer pic.

Pool date with the Kennys.

Cameron got invited to go to Alaska with Jair. I may have had a mental breakdown while he was gone. But he got to travel around on private jets and such. So maybe a breakdown is worth it? (Even though he didn't even get to bring home any fish.)

We went to see the new Little Mermaid!

I took Andy to the John Crist comedy show.

I think Max made this for me. He's turned into quite the little foody.

I think Violet did Davis's hair haha.

More Alaska pics

Andy started doing the Lone Peak Junior Devos.

Cowabunga Bay!

Saratoga Springs Temple Open House

And of course a visit to Uncle Ben's Chick-fil-A after!
