May 2015 - Week 1 - Xander State Fair

On May 2nd, my niece Sawyer was baptized. It was wonderful to be there for her that day. We love you!


On May 3rd I was released from being the Primary President in our ward. I kinda knew it was coming. In July it would have been 3 years since I was called, and my 2nd counselor was called into the Stake Primary Presidency. I was privileged to be able to teach Sharing Time that day and bear my testimony to the kids. I made sure to get a picture with all of them too. I am really going to miss this calling and seeing all their happy faces each week, hearing them sing with all their might and feeling the spirit from their testimonies.



The next day Jaina thought she was pretty funny and was trying on everyones shoes. 
Here she's wearing daddy's shoes.


And then Melody's shoes!


Xander lost yet another tooth!  Seriously, this kid went over 2 years without 
any lost teeth, and now this is number 2 or 3 in a few months. This time 
it fell out while eating dinner. He took a bite of noodles and it 
just popped out! He's lucky he didn't swallow it.


Melody has been making the cutest smiley face lately and I was trying to get a picture 
of it, but when I turned on my phone she was just wanting to look at herself.


Xander had a State Fair project where he had to research and present the state of New York.


He designed a T-shirt, drew and colored their flag.


Made a map of the state.


Made a brochure with facts from New York.



Made a timeline of important events in the history of New York.




Then he had to have an interactive question and answer in a box


He really lucked out because he already had the Lego set of the 
United Nations Headquarters so he put that in the box.


He even dressed up like J. Robert Oppenheimer the creator of the Atomic Bomb and had a short speech as if he was him.


I was able to go to the Payson Temple Openhouse with Mara and the Activity 
Days girls because I was called to be one of their new leaders.  It was so great 
to be able to walk through this beautiful temple again with my sweet girl.


Melody like to 'help' me do laundry by wearing socks on her hands.


And underwear on her head!


I just thought she was cute when she was looking at the Leapster while lying on the floor.
