Nursery

We got put into nursery last July.

We started off by having the younger age 18 months- 2 years.

In October we got the older Nursery ages 2-3 years old.

We didn't have Shaydon in our class for 3 months, but he's back with us.

It's amazing how much 6-8 months maturity will get you. It's almost like we have the younger kids again most of them don't turn 3 until late in the year.

We are excited for the new year and new class.

Shaydon loves church & even knows when we pass the church building on non church going days. He repeated his 1st prayer in December. So precious!!!

He loves to wear a tie and belt to church like his daddy.

He packs his bag of coloring books and toy for sacrament.

He brings us such joy.

Callings

Scott & I both got new callings

Nursery

We are now teaching Shaydon's class

I am really sad to leave YW it's been 3 years while Scott has been in Primary for 3 as well.

I am nervous to be there, because of Shaydon. He has done so well since he's been going and now I am afraid that he will get use to us being there and not want to move classes when it's time. We will see how it goes?

Shaydon's handout from our 1st week!!!

Nursery

So in December I decided I was going to take Shaydon to Nursery to get him use to it once a month until It was time for him to enter, the magical 18 months!! December went really well I just went in for an hour and then left and he stayed the last hour by himself. They said he did GREAT. No crying. So January comes and I go to take him in and the leader said that with the new year and all the kids moving up to the next class there is only 2 active kids and that I should just start bringing him every week. That week there was only one other child so with Shaydon he had someone to play with. So ever since we have been taking him and it's been GREAT!!! He have never cried or had any trouble so they say. I know he doesn't like to share that much, but it's exciting. My little boy is in Nursery!!! CRAZY..... Today he came home with his 1st handout. He was so exited and showed us.

Did you know they have a manual for nursery too. They work on each lesson for 2 weeks and then move on. They give us parent a copy of the manual so we can work on the lesson through out the week with them!!!

Oh, isn't his tie adorable!! My friend Jessica went to HS with a girl who makes them.

It's a little big, but lots of room to grow into.
We love you Shaydon

We went Ice skating on Wednesday for YW's it was a lot of fun and the girls had a blast. Wed is family night and only $5.00 a person. This is our YW family!! We had everyone there. How exciting.

Twin Falls Temple

We took our YW and leaders (48) to the open house of the Twin Falls Temple Today!!! We have been preparing for this for months by teaching our Sunday lessons about temples. The girls were so excited to go. Most of them it was there 1st open house. They even left their cell phones and ipods home. What a GREAT experience to tell their family's about.

Are tickets were for 11:30am. Just so you know you don't really even need a ticket, but they try to keep a steady stream of people.

My parents were also able to come and go through with us what an amazing experience. I felt the spirit and I hope they did too. Thanks for coming and being there with Shaydon and I. We love you so much.

To start you watch a little video about temples and info about the TF Temple, then your tour guide takes you though the temple, the tour is about an hour long and you end up back in the stake center with some beautiful displays of Christ, a HUGE map of all the temple in the world and one about the progression of temples. There were also cookies and water for refreshment and representatives to answer questions.

• We were 900th person for the day
• As of today 100,000 people have gone through the TF Temple
• The temple will be dedicated on August 24th (My birthday)

We had lunch at my uncle Tim and Debi's house down in the canyon by the river. It was BEAUTIFUL. It's been a long time since I've been there! It was a perfect place to change clothes relax and eat lunch. We bought Costco pizza, soda and candy for lunch.

Thanks Uncle Tim & Aunt Debi
