New Beginnings

I can't believe Emily will be turning twelve this year! I was able to attend New Beginnings with her this evening and she was so excited to meet all the young women.  Now she just has to wait 5 more painful months until she can officially exit primary.

 

Emily's Murder Mystery Party

Emily was invited to attend a murder mystery party for her friend's birthday party and she had so much fun.  She played the part of a fisherman and papa let her borrow some of his gear to dress up.  

 

Valentine's Day

I love Valentine's Day.  Letting people I love know just how much they mean to me doesn't seem to happen as much as it should.  The girls had fun waking up to see what surprises were waiting for them.  The funnest part of the day happened to Emily though.  For the first time she received some valentine's chocolates from a boy at school.  She is growing up way too fast!

 

Spirit Week

Emily's school had spirit week.  She dressed up so fun for the crazy hair and Disney dress-up days.

 

Sealing

What a wonderful day!  I was able to attend the temple with my family today so see my sister be sealed to her husband and her family become a forever family.  I was also able to witness Lorenzo be sealed to my parents.  It was an amazing experience.

 

Junior Company Practicing

Emily absolutely loves being part of Downtown Dance's Showteam.  Her dance teacher posted this photo on Facebook and I just had to share.  They practice and work very hard and it definitely shows in the way they perform.  I am very excited to see them dance during the upcoming competition season!

Lunch in Twin Falls

Today is the anniversary of Amy passing away.  I knew it would be a hard day and didn't want to stay home being sad, so I made plans for Mom, Melinda, and I to meet Alisha in Twin Falls for lunch.  It was a quick trip but it was nice to get together and talk about all our happy memories and moments with Amy.
