Update-O-Rama Part II

Hooray! We finally have our computer and I finally have a minute to continue updating the blog.

Sisters

Haley is my wing man (or girl in this case) when it comes to helping me with Alina. She always swoops in when Alina is fussy and I can't soothe her right then. Haley loves to play with her and keep her happy which makes me very happy.

Baby Boom
From May 2010 - May 2011 we had 16 babies born into our ward. Some of us were moving so we wanted to get a shot with all the Moms and Babes together. We put us in chronological order by birthdate. There are 3 babies missing.

School Memories

These pictures were taken on the last day of school. Andy finished Kindergarten. His teacher was Mrs. Herbers, who as it turns out, is our neighbor. She started out as the para in Andy's class and when his original teacher was diagnosed with cancer and had to leave school, Mrs. Herbers took over. She is a great teacher, neighbor, and friend. Andy said that she was the best artist that he knew!


We were truly blessed with teachers this year! Haley had Mr. Anderson for 3rd grade and he was a fabulous teacher!

Nate had Mr. Koerner who was also a great teacher. Nate learned a lot in his class and we were appreciative of all his hard work.

It's a Recognition, not a Graduation!

At Elton Hills Elementary, they have a 5th Grade Recognition to celebrate those 5th graders who are leaving the school and moving on to middle school. It was a great program. They had 5th graders share memories from each of the grades they completed while at Elton Hills, the 5th graders then sang "Firework" by Katy Perry (which gave me chills) and then they had a photo montage showing a picture of each of the kids as an infant or toddler and then as a 5th grader.


It was one of the hottest days in Rochester with high humidity and Elton Hills does not have air condtioning. Needless to say, we were very hot and sweaty by the end of the program.

This is Mylee. We'd like Nate to marry her some day. She happens to be Hallie's sister, who is the cute girl we'd like Michael to marry.

I can't think of her name right now, but did Andy have the same kindergarten teacher as your other kids and Clayton? Is that who has cancer?
