Masterpiece

Jocelyn (and the rest of her class) currently has some artwork displayed at the Red Mountain Mesa Public Library.  Very cool.  March 2012

Science Project

Jocelyn worked with a couple other girls to do a science project.  The main purpose of the project was for them to all work together and learn how to do the scientific method (ask a question, construct a hypothesis, test hypothesis, analyze data, and communicate results).  The project that the girls decided on was how many drops of red food coloring would it take to change different kinds of orange drinks.  They had a good time working together and got a great grade for their project.

Lil' Beauty

Jocelyn has been begging for days now for me to take her to get her hair cut.  She was so excited today when I finally took her in!  The stylist kept asking Jocelyn if she was sure that she wanted so much hair cut off.  Here she is in a before and after shot!

AFTER

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to work we go!

Today is "Take Your Child to Work Day" at General Dynamics.  Jocelyn has been especially excited.  She has had her outfit picked out for several days now and wanted me to put curlers in her hair last night.  Don't work too hard ladies! 

School Talent Show

Jocelyn and her friend Bianca decided to do the tryouts for the school talent show. They practiced hard and sang the Taylor Swift song, "You Belong With Me." Sadly they didn't make the cuts for the talent show but they had a great time preparing for it and they now have some experience under their belts for next year. Good job ladies.  

Gila Valley Temple Open House

Jared and I took the kids to the Gila Valley Temple Open House on Friday, April 30th. We drove down after the girls got out of school on Thursday and stayed over night in Thatcher, AZ. We swam, attended the open house, saw the home that Spencer W. Kimball grew up in, and explored the Red Knolls. It was an awesome weekend. I loved being with the kids, especially in the temple. 

How come every time a kid goes to a hotel one of the first things they do is jump on the bed? 

Jacob & Jayden checking out the refrigerator to see if it really worked. 

After a long day the boys finally passed out.  The next morning we found part of the cookie still in Jacob's mouth that he was chewing before he fell asleep.  Too funny. 

After breakfast the kids were ready to go down for a swim in the hotel's indoor swimming pool. 

Jessica having a good time. 

Jocelyn showing off some of her skills. 

Jayden ready to get out and get warm.  Brrrrr....

Jacob didn't have fun swimming until the very end.  He sat in the corner and had this pouty face on for a good portion of the time.

The Red Knolls

View from the top of the Knolls. 

Kelm kids with all their treasure that they found.  The boys thought that we were on a fossil finding expedition.  They were so excited when they found their "fossils".  What a great place for the kids to wander around and use their imaginations.
