Family Fun with the Nelsons

Spring Hall clean up

We helped with Spring clean up this weekend. Lots and lots if projects being tackled! Great turnout for support and much got done. We are getting an update this summer on the inside so much of the project list was outside updates. Mulch, rock, trees, bushes, paint and tidying. Wonderful to see everyone working together and having fun.

Hugest mulch pile ever and we got it all spread out in the yard!

We got a fun break for beverages and snacks and chatting then finished up the afternoon

Mulch pile finally gone!!

Brought back memories of the hall rebuild in 2001! :)

Pyramid Band Concert

There is an annual concert for 6th thru 12th grades to show the progression through the band program in our half of the district. The Grammas and Aunt Bonnie came along. Was fun to see how hard all the kids work. And the grand finale was the whole group (a few hundred kids) playing The Tempest together. Great job everyone!

Update for Noah's room

IIn April we made an update to Noah's room. He has had a small loft bed from Ikea since he was 3. It was nice for a small room since there was play area underneath. It was time to upgrade to a full sized bed to better fit a growing kid. We found a great bed, again at Ikea. It is called MALM. We chuckled since that is our friends' last name...good choice!

And also got all new bedding since it is now a new size.

Love the choices and the new look for his room!

Baxter likes it too!! ;)

Noah's first interview part

In April Jeremy had a part on the Service Meeting to interview some of our youth and how they remain spiritually strong despite pressures at school etc. He asked Noah and Michael and Elena to participate. They all did so well. So encouraging to see them stand strong despite pressure.

Last 2 day Circuit Assembly! March 2014

Not sure why this didn't post back when I wrote it, but better late than never...

Things are being simplified, so future Circuit Assemblies will be 1 day only, so this was sort of "end of an era" as our last 2 day Circuit assembly down in Rochester. I didn't get as many friend pics but a few from the wonderful weekend of spiritual encouragement and also visiting time with friends.

Driving Baxter to the boarders before heading out of town Thursday.
