For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago we took the kids bowling. It was so much fun! The cutest little bowling shoes on the cutest little feet.
Jake probably won't forgive me for posting this photo, but isn't it adorable. Love these two guys in my life!
Watching Grant's ball making the slow progression down the lane.
Ella watching the pins fall.
Paislee holding the ball the correct way and getting ready to go.
Look at that form, she's pretty dang good, even bowled a strike! There was a teenage girl practicing in the lane next to us, she was very talented and had a very serious expression on her face the entire time, even when she was bowling strikes and picking up spares. Needless to say my girls didn't understand her lack of enthusiasm for the game. Ella on the other hand had plenty even when only a few pins fell down.
Grant became comfortable with bowling very quickly, he liked to pick his own ball up and carry it to the lane, he even tried to stick his fingers in the holes.
We heard a great talk today at church about family scripture study, prayers and FHE and the blessings it brings into your home. We are excited to continue the good habits we have, work on the ones we've been struggling with and start some new ones that will encourage our family to be more loving, obedient and reverent!
It's difficult to believe and so exciting at the same time, Ella graduated from preschool today. Next year she will be attending Kindergarten and she's so excited. She's had a very fun year of preschool and one of the kindest teachers I've ever met.
The big graduates looking so grown up!
It seems just yesterday Jake was packing her around in the crook of his arm as a newborn, it's amazing how quickly they grow and change.
It's pretty great too, she's learning to read and just loves to learn everything she can. She's taken an interest in rocks recently and has been toting around a rock book and all the pretty rocks she can find. I've found them just about everywhere, including the washing machine. It's fun to see yourself in your children, rocks were one of my hobbies as a kid.
Ella and her amazing teacher (I seriously don't know how she does it all). She created a binder for them with a picture of themselves, a drawing and a poem for every letter in the alphabet. It is definitely a keepsake and a token of love from this sweet woman!
