100th day of school

Today is the 100th day of school.  Kindergarten students got to celebrate this fun milestone by dressing up s if they were 100 years old.  Brooklyn decided she needed a dress, a bun in her hair, and a "shawl".  I even used some eye liner to give her wrinkles- but they just made her eyes itchy so her teacher helped her wipe it off.  She doesn't look 100 - no matter how hard I try I can't make her sweet chubby cheeks look weathered with time, but she is awfully darn cute! Some parents got really creactive with hats, canes and beards. I will steal their ideas for Tanner next year.
After they donned their outfits they got to parade, or shuffle, around the school in a parade!  I doubt that 100 year old people would be so happy to shuffle around the school twice but these kindergartners loved it!

Eunice Sandborn passed away this last week at the age of 115. that's right 115! When she 111, in 2007 she was asked what her secret to a long life she said:

"My secret is my Savior" . "A lot of people don't know Him, but I do. I love Him. He's going to keep on being my secret."


"I don't know how long I'll be here, but I've enjoyed it. I'm thankful," Sanborn said. "Life is a wonderful thing if you make it that way. If you don't make it right, it isn't wonderful. If you do things right and love the Lord, you'll be all right."



 This is Tanner Waiting for the parade to start.  He was putting bubbles  in each cheek for me to "blow out" aka "smash his face".  He couldn't quite get the hang of putting bubbles in both cheeks though- he will probably figure it our just in time for  during Stake Conference this weekend, during the most quiet moments. He is So fun.  Tyson thinks I am not reverant during church... I just loved seeing my kids smiles and giggles- and I get a whole hour to just sit and cuddle with them! I do listen to the talks...most of them.. most of the time.. but look at this face! doesn't it make you giggle too?
