The teachers quorum were planning to go mountain biking for their summer scout trip, so Cade decided it was time for him to learn how to ride a bike.  We bought him a bike and he learned to ride it quickly the same day.  He was happy to learn that skill so now he can ride his bike over to his friends' houses in Parkwood Ranch instead of waiting for someone to drive him over there. I didn't get any pics of their mountain biking adventure, but it was a success!

Cheyanna turns 12!  This girl is now a Young Woman.  I'm happy that she gets to come to mutual with us finally!  Cheyanna is a sweetie pie who loves Beanie Boos, animals, and Twenty One Pilots.  She loves to sing and play the piano.  She is very creative and likes to draw.  Cheyanna is also very sweet and loving, and loves to give hugs. 

Carvel Cake is the best ice cream cake ever!

Cheyanna, Sachi Cortez, and Carly Miller.  The three amigos.

 Cheyanna's 6th grade graduation from Noah Webster School was a fun night!  The ceremony was at Skyline High School.  Cheyanna got an award for being on the honor roll every semester that she was at Noah Webster.  Yes, she is that awesome.

Cade won several awards at his 8th grade awards assembly.  He won the silver service award and an award for getting a high GPA throughout Junior High.

Cheyanna's Birthday party was fun!  Sachi, Lilly Birosh, Carly, Kimmy, and Madison were all there.  We played the candy bar game, decorated sugar cookies, ate pizza, and they had fun just hanging out.

Chuck's new job at Rabo Agrifinance did not work out, and as we were thinking about our future, Chuck and I both had a feeling that we should move to Florida (WHAT?!?)  I know, right?  We talked to the three younger kids, and all of them had a strong feeling we should move to Florida.  It was a very strong spiritual experience, and all of us just knew that is what we needed to do.  None of us wanted to move to FL, but we knew that's what the Lord wanted us to do.  So we started packing and made plans to stay in Mom's house in Oviedo until we could find a home to buy in FL. 

This seemed appropriate as we were preparing to leave Mesa for Florida

Cade's friends heart attacked our house to say goodbye before our move.
