Spoke in our Temple Devotional:

Sarah had a band concert but we couldn't watch it so we got this picture.  

(Elizabeth also had a band concert which we were able to watch but no picture!)

Last day of online school for Sarah!

Aubrey turned 10 years old!

Look what was inside her cake!

Michael also turned 10 years old!

He was so nice to share his presents: nerf guns...

Saturday, March 13th we met some of the youth from the Chico 1st ward to tell them about the temple and take them on an outside tour.

Here is a March update on John and Sara's new home being built in Clinton.

A day off of school is a good time to go to Grandpa's and Grandma's house.

And it's an especially good time to try out their new hoverboards!

These kids caught on fast.
