The sun is out and Spring is coming! I was enjoying a little nap at the park before this cute monkey jumped on my back. I teach the 7 year olds turning 8 in Primary. We had a lesson on King Benjamin that was pretty fun. I think Max makes a very regal king. Josie…
Erie hosted it’s first ever Choir Festival. 3 elementary schools and the the HS performed. It was so much fun, and their rendition of “Seize the Day” knocked it out of the park! Josh has really loved choir this year. Lots and Lots of reading going on on these cold winter nights. Reading with the…
We set our yearly goals at FHE. I was in a pretty grumpy mood, so I didn’t really give my best effort. Halle hung hers on the wall. A couple of weeks later the boys made her super mad. So she ripped off her bottom goal that was about being nicer to her brothers. LOL!…
