Found her sleeping like this:   Which is funny because it's not even all of her stuffed animals!  I have tried to pare them down but they are all so special to her for one reason or another… and she obviously needs them all to go to sleep. Her teacher is also funny.  And her…

At the end of the year we had a couple of Zach's things to visit the school for – both of which he was dressed as a baseball player.  (Go figure.  :) He did a great job on a famous person speech on Justin Morneau:    And made an awesome Minnesota float (on skis) for…

The primary passed out a thing to learn the articles of faith this summer, and Carter absolutely loves it.  He carries it around with him everywhere.  (Seriously, I am looking for this all the time because he takes it places and forgets it.)  He even takes it to bed with him.  They get one card at…

  I will spare you the picture of the wounded morning dove but here are the details of the rescue written by Emma for the kids' UIEA Magazine (Utah International Explorers Association):    The Adams kids were walking home from school one day, and found an injured bird lying on the side of the road.  They went…

Since kindergarten got out a week earlier than the rest of the school, we used those last few days to do some things the big kids are less excited about than the littles…        One day we spent a morning at the splashpad… there were few enough kids there that Meg got pretty brave…

I can't believe that Kindergarten is already over!  That (like most things these days) went by way too fast.   It has been fun to see Carter grow this year though… he was much more involved in the end-of-the-year program (although still pretty reserved) than he was at Discovery last year!  (also, I just loved…

(I actually think it has a name more like "The mountain star hotel" due to the mountains on the name badges I picked up off the floor tonight…) Anyways.  Our playroom has been leased by a hotel operation for coming up on 2 weeks now.  I have a love/hate relationship with this arrangement.   What…

I found these pics tonight that must have been uploaded when Emma plugged her phone into the computer (an old phone of mine that she uses to take pictures.)  Apparently it was photo shoot day… I cannot get enough of these.  The group ones remind me of the "family photos" I made my mom take…

After Meg fell asleep in church and my other kids were starting to change out of church clothes as they headed up the driveway, I figured we'd better take what we could get as far as an Easter pic.  :)   Nate was still at church (of course), so I took one and Zach took…

It is funny, given how involved I had been in the art stroll this year, that our attendance at the actual event lasted only about 15 minutes in between dropping Zach off at baseball and heading back for his game!       Van Goghs in the making, right?  :)
