Primary pizza party

I have taught the Valiant 8 class for the past few years in our ward in Shelley. I had the best class in the world this year. It was a pretty big class, sometimes I would have 12 kids, but they were so well behaved and got along so well with each other. At the beginning of the year we set goals to memorize scriptures, the Articles of Faith and learn a new song to sing in sacrament. We did all of these things and so we had a big party right before we moved. It was so hard to say goodbye and there were definitely some tears shed. All of the kids from last year and this year came and we played water baseball and had pizza. It was a nice break from moving and was so fun to see all of them. They love Alexander and he gets so excited at Church, since he was always in class with us.
We first ate pizza then played a bunch of games.



Al helped himself to many water balloons!



Then the classic boys vs. girls water fight.


















It was a blast!




I miss these kids and our ward in Shelley!

Wray Reunion 2013: Island Park

This year Taylor and I were in charge of the Vince Wray reunion. We went to Island Park and stayed at a family friends' cabin. It was beautiful and super fun to be with family. We started out by going to Big Springs. You can feed huge trout there and its where the first cabin in Island Park was built.









Love our little family!






Al was chasing the seagulls






Here we all are


We were supposed to float the river, but we didn't get there in time to get rafts and the next day it rained all day! So we went swimming instead.






At the rodeo. It was fun and exciting and the kids loved it!





It was fun spending time with the Wray side of our family and hanging out with Taylors siblings that we don't get to see very often. We are so grateful for such wonderful families!

On the way home we stopped by to see Kaylee and J.C's baby at the hospital. He is so big compared to our babies!






Cute family!
