Primary Chorister

At church, I get to lead the singing time with the children. For a review I let them dress me up in costume if they could remember the words to the song. Ken was giving a tour to someone who was interested in our church and they peeked into the primary window and there I was, all dressed up. Ken says, "And that's my wife, now on with the tour." 

Crying Annie

Apparently we think Annemarie looks really cute when she's crying and upset. These are all off mine and Ken's cell phones. 

Valentine's Day

I decided to host a little Valentine exchange party for Rex and his friends. We had such a positive response that we ended up moving it to the church so we had enough room. I wanted to make sugar cookies so my friends Mary and Elisa came over and we figured out decorating with royal icing using the flooding technique. We had a lot of fun and were getting pretty good by the end. 

 I just love this picture. Such a sweet little Valentine girl.

100th Day of School

First graders at our elementary school dress up like they are 100 for the 100th day of school. Tyler makes a pretty cute old man.

Tyler's Dreams

I loved this school work Tyler brought home. For those who may have trouble reading his first grade writing his dreams are: to be a  missionary, to be kind to my teachers, to try my best, and to be loved. 

Mystery Reader

Ken is the best mystery reader around. His name tags when he goes into the school in costume are one of my favorite things. I just love them.
