Baby Shower


I hosted a baby shower for my friends Lindsey and Jen and invited our friends from the branch. I love this photo, because it will always remind me of the awesome ladies in Moscow that I am going to miss so much.

Ready, steady, go!


The elementary school swim team had a swim meet and Cyrus participated in the freestyle 100 meters and the backstroke 100 meters. He had a great time, and we loved watching his progress! Go Cyrus!

Encore!


Cyrus' 4th grade Russian dance performance was so popular that we were able to watch him one more time at the encore performance. I just never get tired of watching Cyrus kick up his heels!

1st grade field trip


I was lucky enough to go on the field trip to the butterfly gardens with Talen's class. It was fun to see Talen in his element. He really loves school.

Talen helps his friend Alex find the butterfly that flew away.

Copenhagen, Denmark


We had a long weekend in May and so we planned our last trip. Denmark has been a place we have always wanted to go. We spent 4 days walking, biking, and driving all over Denmark. The boys had a really great time! We even took the car on the ferry to Sweden, (just to squeeze in one more country).

Tivoli Gardens, a 166 year old amusement park originally built to keep the commoners happy so they wouldn't dwell on how heavily they were being taxed. It worked and it is still a major tourist draw!
