Peterson News

Hello everyone! We finished school last week and we love having everyone home! Eleanor has quite a few pictures on but I guess that's ok, she had a special week. They do Kindergarten graduation here, and it was pretty cute. So proud of her, but it always makes me sad when I get to the end of a school year and realize that it means each of my kids will be in the next grade up. Growing up too fast. We went to lots of end-of-the-year awards ceremonies for the kids. We're proud of all their hard work and adjusting to a new school this year.
Saturday our stake had an "activity day girls" activity and they said to bring a friend. So proud of Clara. She invited a friend from school...of course a nonmember. I talked to her mom and told her which church it was. We picked her up and they had a great time. I asked Clara what Savannah thought of everything. There were lots of activities centered around the Savior, and one station about the temple. She asked Clara questions like, "why are you called a mormon" and "My mom said mormons don't believe in Christ." But she had lots of fun and I'm happy that one more person who was confused about that aspect of the gospel won't be anymore.
We said goodbye to our good friends the Davidsons this weekend. They are moving to Georgia. Ephraim and I are the most sad because we saw them almost everyday. Ephraim's only consolation is that we can visit there and "maybe curious George lives in Georgia!" he said:)
We're getting our summer chore chart ready and realizing we'll be gone a huge chunk of it, but that's ok:) Our plans are finalized. We will get to Idaho late June 29th. Corey will do some coming and going from TX to work, but by coming sooner, we worked it out that he'll be able to fly to UT Thursday night, and make it to the temple sealing! We'll have fun with everyone that weekend, then drive home to Texas from there after the blessing. The kids are all ecstatic. Hopefully there's more of a chance to see Mike and Christi and family??? I don't think one morning at the temple is enough, and I'm thinking I can't camp Thursday night and make it to the temple the next morning. So we can come down sooner. Will you be at Lagoon Thursday too? We could do a bounce back day with everyone else if that's what the plan is. We were talking about Justin's funny picture on his post, and Isaac said, "he's funny. Hey, so is your brother Mike. And actually Scott's super funny when he tries to eat broccoli."Then he laughed and said, "man, ALL your brothers are funny!"
Keep posting, I love hearing what everyone's doing.
Love you all!

Here's Nori. She's become a great reader and loves participating in scriptures in the morning. The curler heads were my favorite:)

Maddie sang at a concert in the park. I didn't get a picture of her at the microphone, but that's where we're at here. She did a great job.
