Baby-Sitting Dancers

Alison and I are friends with a family that owns a dance studio. Every year they have a 3 - night, 2 hour recital at Kingsbury Hall, and every year Alison and I help baby-sit the little children in the basement of Kingsbury Hall where they wait until it is their turn to dance. This year the recital is Peter Pan.


We keep the kids entertained by singing songs and playing games. Here Alison is leading the song.


I had found a frog hat and just had to try it on.

Sealing

Last month my old roommate, Addie (the one I went to Moab with), and her husband were sealed in the temple. It was a very exciting time for them. In the picture, I'm located in the left corner, and the guy standing next to me is Brady, my latest interest.

Reunion at Snowflake

After leaving Mesa Verde, we headed to Snowflake, Arizona for my grandfather's family reunion. The reunion was held in an old Mormon Church building that has been converted into a sort of cabin which is in the picture below. Alison and I slept in the room that had the baptismal font.

While there, Alison demonstrated a talent for making cotton candy.

We had a talent show in the gym and here we are preparing for a skit (coloring our costumes).

For the skit, I was the right side of a house and Jonathon was the narrator. Alison wasn't able to participate due to the fact that she was sleeping.

We also learned about our family history,

roasted marshmellows,

and played at the park.

And here is the picture of everyone. Below is a picture of my grandfather with some of his siblings.

Mesa Verde

Last weekend our family went down to Snowflake, Arizona for a family reunion. On the way to Arizona, we made a detour and spent the night in Mesa Verde. Here are the pictures of us amongst the ruins.

Climbing at City of Rocks

Friday and Saturday My dad, Alison, and I went rock climbing at the City of Rocks in Idaho. It was great! The rock formations in the granite were amazing.






The rocks turned out to be perfect for rock climbing.

And here we are with our group and all the gear.

Graduation Day

Alison has finally graduated. I don't know who's the happiest - my mother (who doesn't have to push her to do homework any more) or Alison (who doesn't have to go to school for a whole year). Afterwards we went to Los Hermanos for a nice big lunch. Alison is wearing the very pretty lei that Marta sent her.
