A Proud Moment for Mom and Dad!!

Last Thursday was a very exciting day for Chris and I. All three of our kids made the Honor Roll at Riverside Prep. Here's Riley with his certificate after the ceremony. Good job, Ri-guy!! He loves school! Kelsey has made honor roll for two consecutive semesters now. But this time around happened to be more exciting. She made Principal's Honor Roll. Her GPA is 3.88. For some parents, this might not be a big deal, but for our family, it's HUGE! Kelsey spent so many years struggling with school work, going through different tests for a learning disability and nights of endless crying because her frustration level was so high due to not understanding what was being taught! Kelsey has since excelled thanks to Riverside Prep. The class sizes are smaller and most teachers really do care about their students understanding and excelling. This school has been an answer to our prayers. We love to hear that Kelsey looks forward to attending school every day!
And then there's Ethan. We are at a loss for words. He is such a hard worker and always strives to do his best. Ethan made the Superintendant's Honor Roll because his GPA is above 4.0. He always tries his best and is not afraid to ask a question if he doesn't understand. He too loves going to school and enjoys all of his teachers.
We are so proud of all three of them!! We love you guys!!!

Finally able to blog a day at the Temple!

These pictures were actually taken back in October of 2008. I couldn't post them before Christmas because it would of ruined the surprise! My sister-in-laws, Amanda, Liz and I took our kids to the LA Temple to photograph them for Christmas presents for Grandma and Grandpa Horvath. We thought it would be a great idea to have pictures of the grandchildren taken in front of the temple they were sealed in 31 years ago. These are a FEW of my favorites!






O.K. This is not one of my favorites but after two and a half hours of picture taking with 8 kids, we still had a sense of humor!! My sisters are going to kill me!!! Love you both!!!!
