Emma's Graduation from 6th Grade, May 2016
Emma is becoming such a beautiful young woman. This year she stared as Shere Khan in her school musical. Made it onto a competitive club team for soccer. Finished her Faith in God. Got good grades in school. Played on a competitive softball team. Started babysitting for mom and dad on most Friday nights. Watched her best friend get baptized. Is looking forward to young women's and especially girl's camp! Tested into the gifted and talented program so she gets to be in her dad's class next year! Has really developed a passion for animals and becoming a vet. Has become amazing at getting her chores done well and quickly. Has been more kind and loving to her siblings as she helps take care of them more. And so much more! We love having Emma in our family so much and I am grateful for her every day.
Here are some pictures of her as she graduated from elementary school. For each of the kids I have made a binder full of fun memories from the elementary school years divided by year. It hit me too late that this is Emma's last year in her binder. It is so hard to realize how quickly she is growing up. I really love her so much and can't imagine my life without her. Okay, wiping away the tears and here are the pictures of my beautiful girl.

Here's a link to one of the songs they sang for their graduation. I love it because Michael and Joseph from the ward are in the bottom right corner. She's standing by Kennedy and Leora, two of her friends. and Sydney, Gabby, and Maddy are standing in the rows behind her.
Scott & Melissa's Wedding May 2016
Let me start this post with a little story. I take no credit for this story and give all credit to Heavenly Father because the ideas were not my own and I recognize the role that the spirit took in all this coming about.
Once upon a time I was a primary president and I had some awesome teachers. One of those teachers was named Melissa Murray. I was sitting in the back of the room during primary one day observing the kids and the teachers. When my eyes passed over Melissa, I had the thought, I need to introduce her to Scotty. Scott was living in Oregon at the time getting ready to take a test to become a PA. He planned to come to Utah and was going to stay with us when he first got here. Well, time passed and Melissa moved to Payson and was replaced with a different teacher. Scott came and stayed with us. Although I knew I needed to introduce them, I waited. About a month and a half later, I asked one of her family members for her number. I checked if she would mind if I gave her number to my brother. She said sure and the rest is history. I will forever be grateful for that calling because it was that spiritual nudge on a random Sunday that gave us the most awesome wife for my best friend brother and an additional awesome sister-in-law to the West family. I seriously love Melissa and I think she and Scotty are amazing together.
Okay, be ready for a serious picture overload. Their wedding was so beautiful and fun.
