Nathan's Graduation

Oh it is a sad time to see your child grow up, but I am even more upset because we are leaving such a wonderful school that has done so much for my two boys. When Nathan first started Giant Steps over two years ago he couldn't say a full sentence and would mostly grunt and point at different things. But now he can talk in full sentences and uses new words all the time. In fact he surprises me all the time with the different words he uses. Nathan before couldn't sit down for more than 30 seconds before he would jump up and run around. Now he can sit for 20 minutes at least and pay attention to others around him. My sweet little boy has blossomed into a smart well behaved child. Even though we still struggle with things here and there, for the most part he is almost a different child now. I love the Giant Steps program and what it does for the children. Without it, I wouldn't have seen just how wonderful my son could be.

Sword Fight

I often watch my friends little girl Daphne. She is so cute and gets along great with Kimball. So one day when I was watching her, they both found some foam swords that were Brandon and Nathans'. I couldn't resist but get the camera out and watch them sword fight. They are so cute!

Temple Open House

We were able to attend another Temple Open House. The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. This time we went with 6 other adults that all helped us take care of our young ones, and since we went in the morning I must say that they were AWESOME! They did wonderful and I was really proud of them. I think their favorite part was the cookies they got at the end but I am hoping that they do remember their visit or at the very least the feeling they had inside. Nathan though refused to be photographed so I only got Daddy with Brandon and Kimball.

Nathan's Pretend Birthday

Since Nathan's birthday is in July and he doesn't have school then, his teachers decided that they wanted to have a pretend birthday for him so he could celebrate it like his other friends in his class. So he got a birthday hat and I brought in ice cream sandwhiches. All the kids liked the ice cream sandwhiches including my boys! After their treat they played musical chairs and with the help tips from his teachers Nathan won the game! Although Nathan is very excited about his REAL birthday he keeps asking every day how many days until his birthday. So for now, Nathan is still 4 but in 22 days he will be 5!

Sealing

We had the opprotunity to see Travis's little brother Jon, be sealed to his wife and children for all time and eternity. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It was an amazing thing to see their little family get sealed. The feelings that were felt are something I will never forget. Congradulations John and Jacque!
