Ryan finished preschool and was awarded the friendship award for being a great friend. He loved Ms. Lauri's preschool and will miss all of his little friends!

Our dear Grandpa Gill passed away on April 29 and we were able to attend the funeral services this past weekend in Denver. Spencer's Grandpa was in the Navy and had military honors at the cemetery. It was very simple and sweet.
The funeral was the first one our kids had attended. Andrew and Mabel didn't understand much, but I was so grateful for the gospel as we talked about where Grandpa Gill was and what happens when we die. Ryan accepted it all with his perfect child like faith and I was glad that he already knows about our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, where we come from, and that we can be together as families one day.
It was great to be in Denver and enjoy our family and remember Grandpa Gill.

little swimmers
The boys recently finished a session of swim lessons. It's a very beginner class, which they both needed, seeing as we went swimming a total of 2 times last summer. And I don't think Andrew even got in. But they loved it and Andrew wasn't shy at all about getting in...
that is until he went under the water and the teacher didn't see him. It took Spencer and I screaming and running (spencer almost ran in) to get his attention. It was only a matter of seconds that he was under, but it scared me to death. Luckily Spencer had come or I probably would have hit the teacher! I was not a happy mama. I wanted to pull the boys out right then and get my money back, but my voice of reason (Spencer) helped me calm down and we realized that if we made a big deal about it, Andrew would probably never get in. By the last couple lessons, he was right back in doing all the activities that the other kids were, so I guess I should call it a success.
