Famlily Photoshoot

 
Our young women's group (which I have the pleasure of serving with) had a fundraiser for their girls camp.  The adults and some of the girls took family portraits and then edited them and put them on a CD.  I specifically wanted my friend Lisa who is also a leader to take our pictures, because...well she is awesome and my kids are familiar with her (so much that Maddy names her dolls after her). I think they turned out great!  Ian was seriously so grumpy and we only got about two smiles out of him the whole time, but thanks to my Photoshop Elements program I easily swapped his sad face for one of his happy faces and made some great photos!
 
dear Rylan

Scott and his little Madelyn (they are a lot alike!)  Scott used to get in trouble for talking too much, and Maddy does too! Both like to tease, and can make friends and strike up a conversation with anyone!

Me and my boys, Rylan is very tender-hearted and sensitive like me, he is also a people pleaser and thrives on appreciation and recognition.  Ian is just a sweetie, we aren't sure what his little personality is going to be like yet. 
 
 Love this one, it I didn't have to swap a smiling Ian, didn't know how to fix his high water pants though :)


Sweet Maddy, so inquisitive, happy, emotional, in her own little world, and friendly.  We can go to a park and she will make a best friend after 10 minutes of being there.  She loves to dress up and be fashionable and would wear a dress every day if I would let her.
 

I love this one too
 Ian's face was taken from another picture by they way!

My precious babies, is Ian crying or smiling?

 This picture is what Ian looked like in 98% of the pictures. . . he was having such a hard day and would not look up or smile.



 
M'Lynn, strong, brave, independent, loving, inclusive, not afraid to be who she is and stand up for what she believes in.
 I was really hamming it up
there we go, that is better. . .

 
I thought they turned out pretty well!  They were perfect Mother's Day gifts to send to our moms and grandmothers too!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

Image
(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
