Jedi Training

Wyatt has a great group of boys that he's become good friends with in his K class this year. He also has great friends in the ward and awesome cousins. We are so grateful for all his buddies! As an only child, he really needs good friends in his life and he has definitely been blessed in this way.

He is CRAZY for Star Wars right now so we threw a Star Wars party for his K friends. So. Much. Fun.

Everyone came in Star Wars attire and their quest was to become a "True Jedi" by making it through 6 levels of training plus the bonus test: "The Cave of Fear". These boys were awesome. They were SOOOO in to it!



Lightsaber training



Balance skills training



the Lava Field - team work training



Battle Droid blaster training




Y-wing bombing skills training



"We conquered the Cave of Fear!" (haha this was so funny. We set up a cave made of a cardboard box w/Darth Vader pictures and music in our pitch black basement and they each had to make their way through the dark cave w/only a flashlight and come out in a DV mask. A few of the boys were so scared Steve had to go w/them. haha sooo fun.)



The true jedis... (a few of them)









the loot



My Happy Birthday Boy

Memorial Day Weekend

CR4 ROX! :)

Capitol Reef this year. Awesome place. Torrential rain. Rivers through our campsite. We couldn't do the slot canyon hike I was hoping for b/c of the rain but we did get to do this instead (both jeep and motorcycle style)

And Steve is happy





And Wyatt is happy (friends, a frog and a lizard...)




Grand Gorge Hike & Flash Flood - spectacular! Good thing all the kiddos are troopers, about half way through it started raining. We saw the beginning of a river and then hiked through it to get out. The tall walls were beautiful with spontaneous waterfalls everywhere. Now I respect the canyon in the rain much more! haha Definitely didn't get enough pics, tho...






Burro Wash (didn't have time to finish this hike, must go back...)




Horseshoe Canyon



A little bouldering

Birthday BOOOOY!

Wyatt is such a total blessing. We had a wonderful family party to celebrate his awesomeness. We sure love this kid, like to the point of heart twitters and happy pride bubbles gurgling up through my sooooul... Can't believe I've had 6 Wyatt-filled years already. Best 6 years evah!





Wyatt is soooo thankful for his "loot". He is generous w/the hugs...
