Abe's preschool had a fundraiser at Coldstone Creamery on Thursday so it was our duty, yes our DUTY, to go buy ice cream. It's hard work scooping ice cream for 2 hours and the teachers certainly earned their tips along with sore elbows. On the left is Teacher Lori and on the right is Teacher Corrina. Abe enjoyed raspberry sorbet with m&ms mixed in.


Abe has 5 teachers and Teacher Lori is his favorite. She told him she'd sing if he gave her a tip. He brought $1.02 of his own money to give her and then Teacher Lori and Teacher Janese sang "I've Been Working on the Railroad."


Sophie's school alternates between an art show and a science fair every Spring. This year was time for another science fair. Once again, the school sent home reminders to the parents that the science projects are to be done by the students, not the parents. Brandan and Becky are too smart to try to edge in on Sophie's science plans; she knows exactly what she's doing, thank you very much. This year Sophie boiled various substances in water to see which would produce the brightest yellow dye. Here she is with onion skins.

Here is her completed poster for the fair. From left, she tried seed pods she found on the school playground, turmeric, onion skins and paprika. Turmeric was the obvious winner.

Dan and Linda are visiting this weekend so that Dan could ordain Brandan to the office of High Priest and participate in Brandan being set apart as a high councilor. Linda snapped this photo of our family with our stake president, President Wright, after the ordination.
