She got her picture with the Principal, Mr. Evans
Then she had a Patriotic Performance!
They made cute hats and sang patriotic songs as a class.
(Kalicia and Caroline love their big sister.)
Charlotte has lots of friends and loves school!
(Cooper, Alex, Charlotte, and Jessie)

Charlotte's Kindergarten Class

Jon and Austin got jobs at......

McDonalds

They are both so excited about their first job.

We are so proud of them. They have come so far.

We went and had dinner with them while they were on their break.

They loved being able to show off what they do!

The girls think the boys are the coolest

because they work at play land!

Easter Weekend!!!!

Charlotte spent General Conference hanging out with her Aunt Rachelle.

She had so much fun with her. She adores her Aunt and thinks she is so cool!

Easter Morning......
We spent Easter weekend at Aunt Satya's House.
The girls love being with their cousins.

This year the Easter Bunny left money, instead of candy!

Easter fun all weekend long!!!

The Merrill Family got to spend the whole weekend together

with a wedding, General Conference, and an Easter Dinner!

Pember Family Picnic

We had a great time at Hole in the Rock!

(This was one of my favorite places as a kid!)

The kids had a good time hunting for eggs in the desert!

(I have no idea what they are pointing at, just a neat picture)

The girls loved their Easter Necklaces from Hawaii!



We got to go to the Easter Pageant!
The kids all really enjoyed it. Kalicia loved telling everyone about it afterwards.
I love the mind of a child.
She told everyone that Jesus died and
came back to life up in the sky!
We invited our new neighbors over and decorated Easter eggs.

The kids are so excited to have new friends next door.


Can't for get April Fools!
One of my favorite holidays!
(I think my kids get a little scared of mom though.)
Meatloaf cupcakes and cake with mashed potato icing

...... and poor Kalicia fell for Mom's biggest prank,

taping the faucets.

We got new neighbors and had them over for dinner.

They had to think they moved in next door to crazy people.....

Cat litter Cake for dessert too!

(Caroline loved it though, look at that smile!)

Caroline had ear surgery and

got tubes in her ears.

She is already so much happier and a lot more vocal.

The doctor said she was the first kid to not cry after a procedure,

because she was in so much pain before. What a relief for her!!!

St. Patrick's Day...

always so much fun!

We tried to catch a Leprechaun in our traps,

but they only left footprints and goodies!!!

Track Season

(Jon is the 6th one in, just 2 weeks out of knee surgery too ~crazy dedicated!)

One of Jon's Greatest fans ~Charlotte
