Colton has been very busy working at cub scout day camp six days a week. He leaves at 6:30 am (we are in a great car pool with a total of six scouts) every morning and gets home around
4:00 pm each afternoon. He likes working with the 8 and 9 year old cub scouts. The only problem is that it has been having thunder storms, but he is such a trooper. The picture above is one of him drenched and how I have found him the afternoons I pick him up and lets not forget the mud too.
Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip--Kara and Matt posing for a picture. And it was raining a little bit too, but the smores were yummy.
6th Grade Party Celebration Party that was loads of fun! After wards the teacher and students gave us a wonderful program. I have really enjoyed working with Mrs. Robison this year. She was an amazing teacher.
After the program we took pictures. What cute 6th graders!
Matt cooking hot dogs and hamburgers with a grill that didn't want to cooperate.
A funeral/graveside service for my former stake president in my youth President Charles Terry Graff. He had nine children 8 boys and 1 daughter. One of my good friends, J'aime Jones Graff married one of the brothers. I was the same age as one of his children. I love his wife Virginia and they are a remarkable family. What a sad day for his children and wife.
Kara performing at the the School Talent Show singing, "Freckles." She did amazing.
The back drop from the Draper temple Celebration. In the final number the Draper Temple comes out of the Mountain at the very top.
Kara in her costume with other girls from our stake in their costumes. Pretty cool.
At home before we left posing in her costume. Lindsay and Spencer off to the left getting ready to go to her performance too.
A blurry picture of Kara in her student council dance performance at the School Talent Show.
Kara on the last day of school. I think in this picture Kara and Coby kind of look like each other. Coby kind of makes that look too.
These pictures are totally out of order. This is Colton before the Draper Temple Celebration. The youth in the Choir were to wear a black tie, and black pants and wear a long shirt (he had to change, but we didn't have time once he did).
Edgemont Elementary mascot the eagle and Miss Brinton one of our favorite teachers at the school. Pretty fitting for the last day of school.
Colton's birthday cake. He wanted a baseball or soccer ball cake. So here was my best attempt.
All he wanted was money for his birthday and he is planning on saving it for something big and for college. We are glad we have Colton in our family.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there! Today for Father's day Colton and Spencer woke up early to make Matt an early breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage. And then we all went to church. Matt was asked to teach the Gospel Doctrine class and he did a great job and led a great discussion. After we came home from church (we were a little late) Colton had a hot lunch waiting for Matt on the kitchen table.
Later on we opened some presents for Matt that the children were working on. Kara had gotten some clear back when she was in school and couldn't wait to give them to her daddy. Colton was a little tired as he had just gotten home from youth conference and it had rained most of the time while they were there and they had froze at night too. But he was so glad he had went. I had three of the youth leaders come up to me just to let me know how well behaved he had been; things every mom loves to hear!
After Matt opened his presents the missionaries came over for dinner. They are two great missionaires with great attitudes. Such a great example for our family. And then after they left one of the elders mom that had served with Coby in the International ward for a couple of months last year called me up after just coming home from visiting Vienna and seeing him. She just called to let me know how he was doing and said such sweet things about him that every missionary mom LOVES to hear. I love hearing from other missionary moms and getting pictures from them which is why I need to go and send this picture below and several others to two fine missionaries moms.
