Quiet Time with Grandpa

My Dad loves to read. Most evenings while he was here, he would sit and read. A couple of times we would catch Kiana and Emma curled up with him reading and following his example. It was too sweet! Of course, Ringo had to join in the fun!

Aquarium Visit with Grandma

While my Mum and Dad were here we took the kids to The Living Planet Aquarium. It was great and the kids loved seeing all the fish. This is a video of Mitchell and Kelti getting up the courage to pet the sting rays. I had to bribe them ($5) to do it. After they did it, they couldn't get enough. Kids!!!



Kiana and Emma wouldn't touch the sting rays, but were very brave touching the horseshoe crabs and other sea creatures. The sharks were pretty cool too.
Thanks Lorraine for the passes!!

Our Little Deacon

Mitchell passed the sacrament at Church today for the first time. He was so serious! But he did a great job and made his parents very proud. After he sat up by the Bishopric for the rest of Testimony meeting. He was sitting beside the controls for the pulpit and got to move it up and down for the speakers. Kinda fun!!
I'm not old enough to have kids this old!!! When did it happen?! It is a great feeling to watch your kids make good choices and progress in life.
