Tag is Sienna's math tutor. One day they were playing school and Tag was the teacher and Sienna was doing her math homework. Tag helped her with every problem with the white board.
James got asked to Sadie's with his friend Abbie. He loved going with a friend and having friends in his group! The theme of Sadie's was "Dynamic Duos." He and Abbie went as Wesley and Princess Buttercup.
I found his shirt and belt at D.I. I found his head bandana at Walmart. Lynnlee made his eye mask with a strip of black fabric.
Marshall is Kade's Deacon's leader and he planned a mega temple trip for all of the young men. They did this last year with the temples south of us. This year it covered temples north of us. They left to Rexburg right after school on Friday. They had an appointment around 8:30pm to do baptisms. Then they drove to Idaho Falls and stayed the night at a family member's house.
James went to a college race with his teammate and friend, Miles. James got to see all of the famous BYU runners. He even got a picture with Kenneth Rooks and Clayton Young.
I had the opportunity to attend a training with Sister Runia, first counselor in the young women's general presidency and Brother Dixon, second counselor in the young men's general presidency. It was seriously the best training. They were so fun, kept our attention, told stories, used analogies, and seemed so down to earth. I have enjoyed my calling and serving with my presidency. They are amazing women! We have about one more year to go. We asked the stake presidency if we could stay in for one more stake YW camp. This calling has helped me grow as a person more than any other calling I've had. My confidence has increased, my faith has strengthened and I know that I can do all things through Christ. Things that seem daunting, scary, or beyond my capabilities, I've been able to accomplish. I'm excited for my last year in this calling.
James had the privilege of being a captain on the cross country team this year. He is a great leader and I was so happy he could have an opportunity to develop his leadership skills.
We had the banquet this past week. We took another picture of Austin, Miles, and James. I explained this in the post about state XC but these three have been running together since 7th grade when their team won Alpine Days. It is so fun to see their progress! Miles placed 2nd at state and James placed 12th. Austin ran state after battling cancer for a year so it is truly remarkable that he is running again.
There have been a lot of beautiful skies in the last month. I love these colors so much!
