Happy birthday Sarah

Happy 9th Birthday Sarah!

I won tickets to Disney on Ice off the radio! The girls and I enjoyed dinner and then the show for Sarah's birthday celebration. Entertainment with Disney Magic!

Farmington Festival Days Race

We love the Farmington Festival Days celebration in July. Love the town, love the parade, love my family that comes out to it. This year, Ashley and Sarah did the 5k Saturday morning. I supervised the girls, or ran with them. Ashley took off after the half way point and finished slightly ahead of us. I was proud of them for doing it without really 'training'. I feel my kids are healthy and active, and this shows we are doing okay!
It was exciting that Sarah placed in her age group! 2nd place! Go Sarah! Other family members placed too, so it was fun for the entire family!
Then breakfast and the parade! Love the day!

 

Gatrell crew! 3 generations running the race! Go us!

 

My cousin Daryl is the "D". LOVE Davis, LOVE the marching band!

 

Sweet Sarah

Sarah turned 8 years old and was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a great, sweet day! Lots of family and friends came to show their love for Sarah, our family, and the Gospel. Sarah got the beautiful dress from Nana Burns, and scriptures from my Grandma (a tradition on my side of the family)! At the baptism, family and friends wrote Sarah a note, and she has this priceless collection of testimonies and words from the friends and family. It means a LOT to me as I can read the words written from many important people, especially from my parents, and grandparents-even GRANDPA! Thanks family & friends!

Spring Sing

Let it be remembered that Sarah had an awesome first grade teacher & an amazing school year. My Sarah works so hard, and learned SO much. Wow.

The first grade students put on an awesome Spring Sing with lots of songs, and poems. It was just cute! They learned the songs, made the decorations that were taped to the walls, but they were learning about fun science things too. Learning made fun!  I am pretty sure Sarah's teacher heads it all up=AMAZING Mrs. Z. There are 3 first grade classes up there (btw-I love this school is pretty small. only three 1st grade classes. really-thats nice if you have ever been at a BIG school.)

 Jimmy is always great to leave work and come support the kids & see their programs. He was happy to be there....See it on the picture below!
