Kyle's Science Project

Stain Remover

Tide, Oxi Clean, Resolve, or Shout

Kyle had a science project to complete this week. I will say this just to get it out of my system... Why do kids have to have these big projects going on while we are trying to prepare for the holidays? Well, we did it.

Kyle used four products and tested them on four stains. He tried removing mustard, spaghetti sauce, bbq sauce, and syrup. To make a long story short....None of the removers totally removed mustard. Oxi Clean had the best results, but the other products weren't far behind.

I AM A CHILD OF GOD

I have had the great blessing of teaching these beautiful children in primary this year. I have taught with Janet Rodham and Marilyn Patch. I will cherish their friendship forever. They are beautiful women, both inside and out.

All of these children are 5 years old now. Some are in Kindergarten and some are still in preschool. At the beginning of the year they were scribbling, not reading, always wanting a drink, and some were hard to understand. Now they can spell their name, stay in the lines when they color, answer questions about the stories told, and talking more and more. Their sweet personalities shine as the song sings, "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam."

Next year they will move on to a different class. I will remember and love them forever.

Laura Harper and Kevin

Laura Harper, a long time friend, asked Kevin to the PGHS Preference Dance. Kevin wore a tux and Laura's mom, Shelly, made a beautiful dress for Laura to wear. These two have grown up together. Laura is just a year older than Kevin. Harper's use to live across the street from our house. Now they live around the corner. It was cute to see these two friends go to a dance and have fun together. Soo cute!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Criman

It is so fun to be a grandma and grandpa. Of course we are too young for this, but we are enjoying the role. I have to admit I don't handle the crying very well, at all, but we love having Kristen, Jon, and the baby near by. It is fun to to see him grow. Everyday he's changing.

Orem Utah

Kristen and Jon had their baby blessed in their Orem ward. We were so blessed to have so many family and friends attend. Jon gave a beautiful blessing with Great Grandfather Richard Anderson, Grandpa Nathan Criman, Grandpa Dave Zabriskie, Kevin Hurst, Bill Daniel, and some of Jon's friends in the circle.

After the blessing we all met at our house in Pleasant Grove. I think there were three shifts of eating. We just kept serving food and everyone was happy. I think there were 30 people in our little front room. I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone. Kind of crazy.

The Zabriskie's came from Casper, Michelle and Kim Despain, Hurst family, Daniel Family and many others. It was great to meet everyone.

We love having baby Timothy in our family.
