Week in Review-Primary Program

Abby participated in her last Primary Program. She said, "Learning about the book of Mormon this year has helped me grow in my faith." She also got to sing the 2nd verse of I love to see the Temple as a Valiant 10 class. They did a great job.
 It was fun for me to participate as well and sit up with the kids, there's always such a special spirit on Primary Program day.
Last Sunday we said goodbye for 18 months to Ashlyn's friend Emma, now Sister Randall. She's going to Soporo Japan! We are excited to hear about her adventures. 




Abby was invited to her friends birthday party on Saturday and her Mom who is another teacher at Zaharis took some great photos...

Abby wanted a selfie before we went to the halloween party last night, she was nervous because she was asked to help at the YW booth doing face painting, she did great and had a fun time!






Ashlyn is trudging through her college classes, her physics class is really tough but I'm proud of her for pushing through. We are all excited for some cooler weather that should finally show up this week.

Week in Review...



Grandma Johnson painted some rocks that we found on the beach in California...so cute!
So Ashlyn and Abby decided to paint rocks too, here's Ashlyns creations. A jellyfish and a cactus, so cute!

Abby with her class at Makerspace at school where they get to be super creative.


 It was a busy week, with really hot temps. We got some cooler weather this weekend and it's been glorious. I can't wait until the cooler temps are here to stay...

2 weeks in Review--Fall break

For Fall break, we went to Carlsbad, Ca and met up with Ricks parents, it was great to catch up and be at the beach. We ate at Miguels Mexican food the first night, it was yummy!
We started this puzzle the first day of Fall break and finished it just this week. It was a tricky one with all of the blue water. It's cool because it's a puzzle of all of the temples in the U.S. Ashlyn, Abby and Rick helped out with it. It was fun to have something to work on during the week. 
Jacob's car isn't doing too good and is giving us a lot of trouble, so he decided to buy a moped from a friend. It's a yamaha and he says it's really fun to ride but he needs to get a permit and eventually a license. He's only allowed to drive it to school and around the neighborhood because I'm scared of him driving it farther. He's loving it.





We played Dos our second night, it was a fun game to learn.
There was a house that was decorated really cool for halloween that a lot of locals were checking out. 
Rusty got a cute new haircut! He looks so fancy!



Of course Rick had to try it out, he enjoyed it as well. 

Ashlyn is dog sitting this week at a swanky house, she's loving it!

It was fun to boogie board with Grandma and Grandpa, Jacob was trying to skim board but it's harder than it looks....










I love the birds of paradise flowers!

We took lots of walks to the beach, it was only a mile away!




I wasn't planning on going into the water because it was chilly outside, but Abby was boogie boarding by herself and I wanted to be near her in case she needed help. She loved it!



Grandpa even got in the water!










































During Fall break my best friend Amy came over and we got to chat for a bit. It was so great catching up with her!




Ashlyn is enjoying her college experience, she got to go to an art show the other week. 



Jacob got to go on a hike up in Payson with Jacob and Caleb, he had a great time!



















































It was a great fall break and now we are back in school and busy doing parent teacher conferences which makes for a crazy week.
