Kyler's Valentine's Day Box






This is Kyler's Valentine's Day box that Russell helpd him make for their party at school. Kyler has been really interested in outer space lately, so we thought it would be fun to make Saturn for him. Kyler and Kaylee had a lot of fun helping make it. They would dip the paper strips in the glue and hand them to Russell. I think it turned out pretty good, but now Russell has plans for a better and bigger one next year. Anyway, Kyler liked it and so did his friends at school. We hope that everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!

Names in the Snow

We went for a walk to the temple last Sunday. While we were there we noticed the huge blank canvas of snow. Well we couldn't let it go unused, so Russell helped the kids put their names in it. If you look closely you can see Kyler's name in the middle. He did that one all by himself and I think he did a pretty good job.






Admiring the finished product. Kyler liked how much better Kaylee's name was than his, so he had Russell help him do his again.







I think that they look pretty good. We were lazy and only did Kyler and Kaylee because they are the only two that can read, and Evelyn was ready to go by the time we got done with them. I'm sure that is something that we will do a lot more often now that the kids know how neat it looks.
