Jenna's Last Day of Student Teaching

Friday, April 23, was Jenna's last day of student teaching. Her teacher, Mrs. Russell, invited us to come and visit at the end of the day. While we were there, Jenna was able to open some gifts from the class and from her teacher. It was a teary day for all the adults--and even some of the children. Jenna has had an incredible experience teaching First Grade this year and I know she'll be an amazing teacher!!

(If you're wondering about Jenna's attire--it was Friday so the kids
and teachers were having a "pajama" day. When I took the
picture of Mrs. Russell and Jenna, Mrs. Russell had already
changed--but earlier she had on red satin pajamas!)

Happy Easter

For Easter this year, we celebrated at Devin and Sarah's home. We had a great Easter dinner, watched General Conference, and then had the annual Easter Egg hunt. Donald and Darin hid 90 eggs and we found them all!! As usual, the big kids and the little kid combined for one big hunt--but mostly we just loved watching the "little kid" do her stuff...

Darin's Mission Call

Darin will be serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He received his call in the mail today. The family all met at Devin and Sarah's for him to open the letter.




In case you didn't hear everything, Darin will be serving in El Salvador and will leave July 28, 2010. We're all SO excited!!
