25 Years

April 2nd, 2016

25 years ago today Daren and Melodie were saying their "yes'" in the Salt Lake Temple.  

A lot has happened in that time - lots of wonderful memories!!!

(I even bought a card for him this year and put it in a very secret spot.  I'm not sure where that spot is but I'm sure I'll find the card eventually!!!  Hahahaha!!!)

Mission Reunion

April 1st, 2016

Chihuahua Mexico Mission Reunion

President and Sister Chavez

were here in Utah to attend a meeting in Salt Lake City.  

(The next day it was announced in the 2nd session of General Conference that President Chavez had been called to be a new Area Authority - Totally awesome!!!)

President and Sister Chavez asked to have all the parents and siblings attend the reunion also.  They wanted to meet the families of the missionaries.  There was a dinner, devotional, mission picture and then we got to meet and greet President and Sister Chavez.  

It was an awesome experience!!!

"Kiss the Kritter"

April 1st, 2016

Melodie was nominated at school to be one of three who "might" have to "kiss a kritter" if she was the person who had the most box tops in her container from the students at Lakeview Academy.  

The students could vote on the "kritter" they wanted the winning person to kiss.

There was a tarantula, salamander, very large lizard with a long forked tongue and a very large and long albino snake.  It was a python!!!

Here is the great reveal to see who will have to kiss the kritter!!!

Yeah, I didn't have to kiss the kritter!!!

We all booed for the tarantula!!!

Of course, the students chose to have Mr. Mills kiss the huge snake!!!

  

Melodie still got to get nice and cozy with the snake!!!
Not quite sure how to feel about this!!!
Definitely a bucket list check-off!!!

Mrs. White loved the snake too!!!
