Payson's Kindergarten Program April 2010

Wednesday the 28th Payson had her first school performance. All the kindergarten classes perform a variety of children songs along with sign language. She did such a great job and we're so proud of our little girl! She's growing up so fast!! :(
PS To listen to her sing, you might have to go down to the bottom right of the page and pause the Blog music I have playing.

Easter 2010

We had a nice quiet Easter this spring. Even though the Easter Bunny paid his visit with special treats and the kids loved the traditional egg dying and hunting, we felt it was most important to make sure we reflected on our Savior Jesus Christ and the beautiful life, ministry and glorious resurrection He so humbly gave to show us the way back to our Father in Heaven.

Enjoying The Beautiful Spring Weather At The Park

Spring arrived and we love the park. Nothing like laying on a blanket in the grass in the spring time (especially with some yummy candy)!

Fieldtrip to Phoenix Zoo 2010

Payson had a field trip to the Phoenix Zoo in March 2010. Garrett took the day off from work and we signed up to be chaperones. We took Austin with us and had a small group of girls from Payson's kindergarten class assigned to take around the zoo. We saw lions, tigers and baby bears oh my. We had a fun morning!

Dental Assisting Graduation December 2009

All summer long the idea of going back to school crowded my mind for some reason. Dental Hygiene has been a career I have considered getting into for a while and so after talking w/ some dental professionals I decided to take a DA course to see if I'd like working in that field. Though weeks of lots of hard work with studying and being away from the family on Saturdays, I graduated with flying colors. My first priority will be our family, but I'm excited to have more education and this certification under my belt, and a possible foundation to proceed into dental hygiene or other careers in the dental field!

Friends I made at DA school who made it so much more fun. Alison, Me, Chantel & Stacey.
