Rufus the toad returns to the wild

We took Rufus to a new home on Mt Emily. He gets his own little pond and we had a fun little hike to take him to his new home.

High School Musical

Sydney just finished recording and filming High School Musical with the Elgin Opera House. She was cast as a cheerleader. It's been a really fun experience for her since she got to try out a recording studio and will get to watch her own performance when it is live streamed! We are so excited for her and anxious to see how her talents have grown. 

Double birthday

Andy had a birthday!!! We love him so much. He is patient, funny, and kind. He likes to take on fun projects and can figure out anything he puts his mind to. We celebrated with his parents Ave and our friends the Luke's. Andy requested Brazilian Stroganoff and pao de queijo from his mission in Brazil. It was a super fun day... Plus it was Easter and general conference. 

I had a birthday too! 

12 years old

Sydney is TWELVE!! That is really hard for me to imagine. She is growing up so fast. She loves theater, art, music, and cooking. She is diligent in her chores and honest. She is adored by her siblings and a great friend. We love her bunches!
