Pretty much every picture of Priya makes me laugh.

Priya's Prayer

Priya's prayer was difficult to understand, but we were able to decipher the following: 

"Please bless no mouse will get in the house and no monsters...

A pillow for me and a pillow for Legend...

Bless us to be safe and healthy and fat"

Guess Who Graduated?

When I asked Legend last week if he would miss school over the summer, he didn't say anything, he just started to cry.  I thought that meant he would miss his teacher and friends. But then when I asked him again last Friday, he said he was excited because that meant he could start doing harder homework (when he got into first grade). 

He loves learning and he has loved school this last year. And I think he is sad to have to take a break from it. But he looks forward to the challenge of school again in the fall. 

Here's some pictures from Legend's class presentation on the last day of Kindergarten.

And throughout this song, if you listen, you can hear Legend's voice a little louder than the others...

We were so proud.

Kids

Annabelle took Legend to the open house of the Draper temple. There was a black guy in a suit who held the door open for them and as Legend walked past him he said "OBAMA".

Legend

Legend figured out that my real name was Matt a while back, but only recently has he started to refer to me by that name. He still calls me Daddy to my face of course, because it's not like he is disrespectful about it. But he drew me a picture last week and wrote on it "To: Matt" and then the other night I was at work and I called home and Legend answered. After talking to him for a minute, I asked to talk to Annabelle and when he handed her the phone, he said "Here Mommy, it's Matt."

And I'm cool with it. He's a cool kid. And here is an old photobooth picture from when he was still an only child...
