Willamette Ward Church Friends

Because I was in charge of taking photos for the primary's new year, I have on file on these pictures of the younger three boy's good friends.  I thought that I would catalogue it for them so they won't forget when we move on.

First off, Kaelan.  He has so many friends that span three primary class levels...

But his nearest and dearest is Claire.
They are bosom buddies and do everything together, I swear they are siblings...

Trey is a good buddy who is almost a year older but will be in kindergarten with Kaelan...

The same with Sawyer, a year older in age, will be same grade.
Trey and Sawyer are best buddies, but they are friends with Kaelan too, and are in preschool with him.

Jeffery.  Kaelan's other best buddy..
He is almost two years older than Kaelan, but they get along so great and Kaelan loves him!

Ansel has a smaller group of kids to pull friends from, but he still has some good ones.

Claire's big brother Reese, is a good buddy and he loves doing things with him. He is a year younger than Ansel

Luke, new-ish in the ward, but Ansel enjoys having someone in his class that enjoys sports like he does.

Calder, by far, has the largest wealth of friends within Church.  His class is huge and it is mostly boys.

Nick is also in his class at school and Calder has really enjoyed getting to know him better.

Colton, Sawyer's big brother and a very nice kid.  Calder really enjoys being around him.

Harrison.  A FUN kid.  He is a joker and the bishop's son.  He makes Calder laugh.

Not pictured are Ethan and Spencer, both good friends of Calder, and nice boys.

Here's to hoping they can make good friends where we are going!
We will miss our friends here!!

As Joe's last act as Young Men's President (he will be released the next day since he is off to California) is to Chaperone the stake dance, with me in tow.

I was in charge of taking photos for the night.  Right up my alley of course.
I took my camera, took photos kept giving the card to the man who was putting the photos up on the big screen and realized at the end that he was erasing everything from my card as he was doing it!! So sad.  All those pictures from the whole night gone, except for these last few that I took right at the end and didn't give over to him...
