A Time for Reflection

The Wedding Day

Well, we can tell what was important to this Oma. I didn't take one photo of Aaron & Faith , however I have several of my precious grandchildren. This is the only picture I have of all six. Ari was not happy... I think it is like asking squirrels to line up for a photo. Here is a happier Ari.

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?
