Mothers' Day 2011

Here are the beautiful creations the kids made for me this year:

And not to overlook these, here are some of the gorgeous flowers Jer made for me (during Sacrament Meeting, no less... Imagine, one after another being created, with colorful crinkly paper, then being carefully placed in my purse...to the point of overflowing... I love our kids!!!)

Hope of America 2011

Every year, the 5th graders get to participate in Hope of America, a musical tribute, at BYU's Marriott Center. This year was Jennifer's turn. She did a great job!

Jen got Jessie all dressed up for the event, too!

Jennifer was almost exactly in the center of the flag, in a red stripe...

I love my daffodils!

Jessie's 1st Lost Tooth!

This month, Jess had a loose tooth. It wiggled until it nearly fell out by itself, and then we went to have Gram Cannon (the expert tooth-puller, a.k.a. 1st grade teacher,) pull it out!

Jer made a most excellent tooth case for Jessie, so she could have her offering ready for the tooth fairy that night!

A recent invention by Jer...

(You may recognize a few familiar components from things like a snow sled to a tricycle...)

Bird Day 2011!!!

The birds are back!! Here is this year's attempt to catch them:
