Our Family

Watching Toy Story on an outdoor movie screen.


Getting in the last beach trip before school starts.


Coral, randomly getting her picture taken, after helping with a Young Women's family photo shoot fund raiser for girl's camp. I thought it captured her sweet fun personality really well.


The Young Women on a temple trip. I guess saying that teaching Avery's primary class with Curtis was so fun, didn't help my chances of being able to stay for long! One Sunday, (and I didn't see it coming this time) I was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's presidency. I have a soft spot for being in the Young Women's, so I'm not complaining, and I get to be in there with Coral!



So when Avery lost her last tooth, she told Curtis, "I know you were really the tooth fairy and you were the one who gave me the money." So, we had to up the fake facade. Since this letter is supposed to be from the tooth fairy, I had to try and disguise my handwriting, which is surprisingly much harder than it would seem. I guess I pulled it off, because she now believes in the tooth fairy again and just to be sure, Curtis has been practicing his girly handwriting for the next time she loses her tooth:)





Mikaya was pretty proud of the strawberry jam we made together.



Trying new recipes for salmon. This one had a cantaloupe cilantro sauce on top.


Avery and Mikaya at the Science Museum.






Avery and Mikaya love building cities out of blocks and the doll house they got from G & G Sandi and Paul (for Christmas).


Getting in one more trip to the pool before school starts.


Cowgirl Mikaya! She even has her horse with her.
