Young Woman/Priesthood Kick Off

Palmer read in the handbook that the YM were supposed to plan a kick off for the new Deacons and YW for the new year.  Palmer is the first assistant so he took it on.  It was tricky to try and plan it with the Laurel president because she wanted to leave it to the YW leaders.  Palmer said no way and planned most of it.  We were so proud of him!  He got the talks, made invitations, scheduled the room and had announcements.  He did a great job!

He conducted it as well.

Also, roped Lincoln in to speaking about the Youth Goal program.

Introducing the new Deacons.

Palmer and Brinkley (the Laurel president).  It was impressive!

 

Mom's Birthday Tea

This year for my birthday I wanted to do a tea party with Josh and the boys.  I knew this was probably going to be our last family tea party with Palmer, so I wanted to go out with a bang.  

We got all the hats and the works with the tea and had a lovely time.

Scones and crumpets and tea sandwiches.  We loved it all.

I've loved that the boys have always been good sports for my tea parties.  

 

Palmer Wisdom Teeth

Poor Palmer had to get his wisdom teeth out before he could send in his mission papers.  It wasn't too bad, but he was in a lot of pain.  We are so glad that is over!

 

Lincoln 1st Place in Region Wrestling!

Lincoln is a fierce wrestler.  He has gotten very good in a small amount of time.  

His strength also helps him.

Ouch!

He is so good!

This dude is about to be thrown...

Lincoln reinsured his shoulder in his last match, luckily he was able to push through and pin him.  He was in a lot of pain though.

He struggled even to put on his medal at the end.  He was first place in region!!  His buddy Garrett was 4th.

Way to go Lincoln!
