Primary Program

A week ago Opa and Oma went to Cirrus and Crimsel's ward for the Primary Program. Mommy (Emma) and Cirrus were up on the stand, and Crimsel sat on Opa's lap. Crimsel was very reverent. Cirrus had her part memorized and spoke clearly. Mommy said her part nicely too. The whole program was wonderful. Oma and Opa think that Cirrus was the star of the whole program, with Mommy coming in second.

Traditions

After every General Priesthood Conference we get together as the extended Allart family to have the men share something important.

Then... we have

banana splits!

We all know the effect

sugar

has on certain people.

We all had a good time.

Gold Medal School

Well, well, well... Our school has been nominated for a special award. We are high-lighted in one of the Gold Medal Schools newsletters. http://www.hearthighway.org/gms/month.html Our fifth and sixth graders have been walking and/or running during their afternoon recess. So far they have walked over 900 miles. Because of my knee, and then the minor surgery on my toe I have been relegated to the position of "Spray the Students as They Come By Queen". Now that it is cooler the kids still ask me where the spray bottle is. I wonder how long this title will stick. One day Cirrus and Crimsel came to visit with their Mom. They decided that they would run with the big kids. Cirrus took off with Crimsel close behind, churning his little legs. About a quarter of the way around Cirrus spotted the swings and beelined, kitty corner for the swings. Like a devoted little brother Crimsel followed without hesitation. It was pretty funny to watch.

Sad for me...

SIGH...
The district blocked the link I had that went to my blog. It only worked for 24 or so hours. Oh well... I'll just need read blog updates at home. It is probably better that way.

Hmm. Does this work from school?

Happy Anniversary

This photo was taken by Keith the Friday before our anniversary from our sunrise porch at the new house. It looks like he put a heart on it just for me.

What's Blue and White?

Well, I guess you can tell that school has started; there seems to be less time for things like blogs. I am really blessed with a good class this year, and am looking forward to doing some creative projects with my class this year.

I think you all know that we purchased a new washer and dryer. We put down vinyl floor tiles. Keith did most of the work while I supervised from the hall way. I painted and moved the curtains inside the window frame. I think the room looks better. Yeah! for clean clothes!! :)
