Benjamin loves to be outside. And his favorite activity is riding his bike. He is fearless. He made it a goal this year to ride a big kid bike, and he basically taught himself. This is a simple post, to remember this sweet time.
Apollo: When We Went to the Moon
The kiddos FAVORITE place has become the Denver Nature and Science Museum. So when Lydie has an appointment down in Denver, we try and make it a point to go. This time we got to enjoy their new exhibit about the Apollo missions and exploration on the moon! Every time I go to the museum, …
Kindergarten Read Alouds
This is Benjamin’s first year doing formal read alouds and we are so excited! It’s such a special time and I can’t wait to do it with him. Many of these books are picture books and can be read in one sitting – but there are some early chapter books sprinkled in – that have …
Second Grade Read Alouds
Sarah and I have a pretty exciting group of books that we are going to snuggle and read together this year! Our biggest undertaking is that we want to read the entire Little House on the Prairie series. We can’t wait! Here is our line up:

Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …
Fifth Grade Read Alouds

First Lost Tooth
Ben lost his first tooth! Ben had quite the evolution from when he discovered his tooth was loose, to when he lost it! Last week, when it started to get wiggly, he was not okay with it. He did not want any fooling around with it. But then, a couple nights later, I was helping …
