End of 2019

Well twinsies. You are ending your 6th year. I can't believe it. The universe is taunting me. A girl in our ward had twins , a boy and a girl, and the other day at walmart I saw 3 sets of twins in one trip. It makes me so sad. I love babies!!!

But you two are something else. Juliet you started losing your front teeth first. Oh my goodness... you came home from school that day with only one front tooth and read us a christmas book, it was the cutest thing ever! Jace you just couldn't wait for your teeth to fall out. One of the front ones finally did.

Juliet, you are just now getting into Junie B Jones a little bit. Jace, I can't get you to read really. You do well on A-Z online, but I need to find you a book you really like.

You are both doing well in school and have friends. Apparently all the girls like Jace and its funny.

I hope that you two will continue to grow in wisdom and will start to recognize the spirit. I love you both so much.

Today at church Brother Kassalis made a quick comment about thinking to himself how many spiritual pushups he could do and invited us to think about that for ourselves and Jace, *we were on the 3rd row, blurted out "like 100 !"

Haha. Well, you are not lacking confidence. I love you both .

Disney and Texas

Well, here we are, in our new home in Texas. We moved here this summer, since Dad received a new job. Its been a rough transition, but we know Heavenly Father has put us here for a reason. I am so grateful for you two and your easy personalities. Although you miss your friends in Idaho, school was easy. Jace, you couldn't wait to get there..because you are so social...I could see it on your face when we went to meet the teacher. You were dying to make best friends with your table neighbor...so anxious to be social and play. It was adorable. Juliet you were a little reserved and nervous, but when the girls asked you if you were scared to meet your new teacher, you said, "Why? She is just a person." Haha. You both have done well in your new class. You are in Mrs. Kobler's 1st grade and she seems like a great teacher. You have experienced eating lunch at school now and already complain about the grossness.... haha. Its good for you. Yesterday you guys all got on a kick of writing Christmas wish lists. You can thank your sister Sienna for that. Juliet, you wrote the cutest list for your wishes. I can't even....

The list is so sweet. One of them is another wish. One is a kiss, one is a hug. You were reading the list and I kissed you, not knowing that was on the list. You were just so cute reading....you stopped and marked off the kiss from your list. Oh my heart.....so sweet. 

#6 is a phone, although you were reading it and said a fan, several times, then later realized it was a phone. :) haha. You are so cute and sweet. You are doing well in 1st grade. 

Jace, you are just a bundle of energy that keeps going. Although the last few days you've been a litlle angrier, but it is because you are tired. You just finally hit a wall I think. 

You guys are still so much fun and I love that I still see you concerne for the other, like "Where is Juliet?" I hope you are BFFs forever. I love you. 

We stopped at Disney on the way to Texas. You two loved it. It was your first time, and a trip to Universal Studios and see Harry Potter Wizarding world. You loved them both. It was fun to see the magic on your face! 

Kindergarten Graduates

Well, I have truly be slacking apparently. You guys aced Kindergarten. It was so fun to see you grow and make friends and learn to read. You both did so well and learned so fast. You are both proficient readers and it is so fun to see you growing. You loved your class and your friends. You had a play date with your friend Ryker often, in our neighborhood. You loved your teacher Mrs. Buxton. I can hardley believe it is all over. 1/2 day Kinder was good for you, but you would both have loved full day too. Next year you will love going all day. Scarlet will miss you and wonder when you are all coming home.

Juliet, you have grown so much. You are a great reader. You really loved your friend Annie this year. Our little neighbor down the street. You wrote her a cute little note about her being your best friend. You are a little sad to be moving..(since we are now moving to Texas). But you don't quite understand really. You are quite funny sometimes. Angie visited for Kason's baptism and brought Noodles, her dog. You were in love with him. You and Scarlet were always laying by him, reading him books, drawing pictures of him. It was the cutest thing ever. I love it so much.

Jace, You are a great reader too. You had some friends in class you loved. Some that we just couldn't make time to hang out with. I'm sorry about that. But It was fun to watch you be social and make friends and be comfortable. You are super smart, and oddly smart at math. :) For not even really learning it yet, you have mad skills. You have had a couple of moments you realized that you didn't want to move, but are generally ok. I know you both will make good friends in Texas.

I don't know if you will get to be in the same class next year, or not. Honestly, it would be easier for me, but we will see.

I think you are both so much fun and just great little kids. I am truly sad the time is going by so fast. I love you both so very much. We are on our way to disney for your first time. You are going to love it! I can't wait.
