Happy 14th Birthday Jared. He wanted new motorcycle gear to match his helmet he got at Christmas. He looks pretty "Dope" as the boys would say. Jared has always been wise beyond his years, and he still is. He is kind and thoughtful and a very good listener. I have watched him this help several friends through trials with great maturity. This year at school he has been on the Hope Squad. I have been so proud of him. He is kind to everyone around him, even though at times he is much more mature than they are. He gets his jobs done quickly (I'm sure so he can play video games), but doesn't complain about his jobs or about anything else really. We are privileged to be his parents and know that he is such a blessing in our family! Happy 14th Jared! We love you!

Spencer and his friend Boston had to conduct a little flag ceremony for an awards thing at Central Elementary. Our cute little neighbor Eli Walker got an award.

February 2016

Kyle finally had his Eagle Board of Review. So proud of him. Although, we really pushed him to get it, he worked hard and always did what we asked. He makes me proud!

Kyle takes 2nd at JV State his Junior year of High School. It was awesome to see Kyle fight through and stick with something that he didn't always enjoy or love. I think he loved associating with the other kids on the wrestling team. We are super proud of him for sticking through the hard times of wrestling and enduring to the end. 2nd place at JV State is awesome and something he should be proud of for a very long time! The Varsity Wrestling team took state this year as well, that makes them winning state 7 times in a row with Chad helping to coach all 7!

Decorating cookies for Valentines day is always a tradition that we will cherish.

This was the first dance that Kyle asked a girl to. Her name was Tia Kump, and she was a total brat after the dance. He spent a lot of money on the dance and was a gentleman to her. Girls! However, I took some really cute pictures of them, so I wanted to share a few.

Landon turns 12! Landon is Spunky, and Funny. He works hard in school and is really concerned about being at the top of his class and getting good grades. He is determined and also a little SASSY! He gives us a run for our money, but we wouldn't change him for the world. Happy 12 Birthday Landon. We are so proud that you wanted to get your Faith in God before leaving primary! I now have four Priesthood holders in my house! So blessed! Provo City Towne Center Temple Open House. It's beautiful and I love walking through the temple with my children!

Other random pictures from February. I actually caught the boys doing dishes and having fun while doing it. My preschool cabin wall got painted over. I loved that wall! Calvin and Cathryn's baby Mia was born and my boys fell in love with her. We took a drive up to the reservoir on a Sunday and the sights were breath taking. Kyle was in a Cheer dance and had mad cheering skills. Jared got his braces off and Spencer was in a Science fair with Justice Page.

Jared had to compose a Solo piece for his Symphonic Band class. He asked our good friend Lauryn Platt to play the piano for him. It was so awesome to see them practice together.

Thug Life: Jared and Landon.
