He's Going, Going....now Gone!

 

Ronnie Green, who served with Caleb in Italy is now one of his favorite roommates

So... having our son Caleb home was shortlived but joyous none the less.  I knew it couldn't last forever.  Provo definitley beats having him away in Italy.  And I am almost guaranteed a visit from our cute boy each week when I cook a nice Sunday dinner and invite him over to do his laundry.  We are so happy for him and all of his aspirations to attend school at Utah Valley University.  We know he will become all that he wants to be.  Anything he can dream, he now knows how to achieve!

Miguel's last month of school: a Success!

 

Can I just say how proud we are of our son Miguel.  He is graduated from the 5th grade and has made some great progress this year.  His teacher Mrs. LaDuke was a gem (very patient with Miguel) and he really seemed to like his year with her.  We attended his Dare program, he won star student of the month in May and was in a puppet play in which he played "Prince Cutie".  His big sister Tayler was such a great girl to come and support him at each of his events this year. Congrats Miguel and we are looking forward to your middle school experience next year!!!  Great things yet to come...

Pioneer Children sang as they Walked

 

This is my Mimi at her 4th grade field trip this year at This is the Place State Park. I was lucky enough to get to be a parent helper and really enjoyed spending this time with my girl. While there they learned about what it was like for the pioneer children who came to Utah to live in the 1800's.  We went to a schoolhouse and learned about the Deseret Alphabet, how animal hides were used and very valuable to the pioneers and many more things.  They even got to pull a handcart to see what it might have felt like to travel so far carrying only a few of your most precious belongings. Mikayla has had a fun year and really looking forward to her summer.
