2025 Year in Review

The year started with Benjamin finding and working

Two jobs to save for his mission.

Robin traveled to see the premier of Jacob's show. A musical he wrote with a friend at BYUI.

While Robin was there, Jacob practiced his stage makeup skills,

so he would be ready for his final project in his class.

Our youth program hosted a concert and Benjamin was invited to participate as a photographer.   

He ended up with his first published photo in the news.

We took a road trip to a family wedding in the spring and stopped and attended many temples on our way.

In a whirl we had Prom,

a camping trip full of adventures,

Graduation,

and Good byes with great friends.

Then before we knew it Benjamin was heading to the Missionary Training Center to serve in the Lima Perú West Mission.

The summer found Philip, Jane, Matthew and Lois busy with theatre camps and stage opportunities.

Philip spent the summer working as a stage crew member on the Nauvoo Pageant.

Lois, Matthew and Jane had a summer camp where they put on The Sword in the Stone.

Lois was a stage crew member.

Matthew as "King Uther"

The rest of the summer was full of fun
