Winter fun, 1st graders valentine and sickos

Merry Christmas

The best time of the year!  We love spending time with family.

This-n-that 2018

Out with the old, in with the new

Saying good-bye to Uncle Dan who is moving out of state.  Parker loves his storm stroopers and some crazy kids.

Ella helped put on their young womens New Beginnings program.  The theme was princesses.  Parker loves making notes for Ella and taking good care of his Husky.  Also sometimes he is gangster.  Ella loves her instagram filters and letter board.

One of my favorite things I have ever found in Parkers backback.  He took a test and wrote a love note to his teacher.  She wrote him back.  I LOVE that he loves his teacher Miss Nielson. She is the best.

Autumn & Halloween & Kids

Autumn 2018
Nothing like a fall in Cache valley

 Halloween
Thing 2 and a storm trooper (3rd year in a row.)  I got to help with parks class party!

Parkers 7th birthday
Ella threw Parker a costume party.  She did the invites, treats, decorations and games.  Parker is getting so big!  His friends know him so well- he got all Star Wars and Jurassic gifts.

Thrill
This is probably Ella's last time performing in Thriller.  She loves it so much!

Ella dad race
Who is faster at 100m?  Dustin by a hair!

Reflections
Ella did dance choreo again for reflections.  She made it on to state.  She was asked to perform her solo at the district level.  What a champ because the music wasn't working so she performed in the silence. She's amazing.

Sibling love

 Thanksgiving
This year was the Benson family.  Lots of food and cousins.

 Wrestling
Parker is still not sure about this sport.  But he did it and came away smiling.  His dad is his biggest supporter/trainer.
