DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
Since it's a big one, my siblings and I decided to throw my mom a surprise party on Saturday and it was a huge success! She had no idea, we had a great turn out, good food, the weather was perfect, and we got to see some old family friends we haven't seen in years! Thanks to everyone who came & also to my sisters and Dad who flawlessly executed a well thought out plan to get my mom out of the house and back in time. We were all very happy with how the party went. We love you, Mom! Thanks for everything you do for our family!

And no family party or get together would be complete without playing with blankets
Yes, there are 4 kids in that blanket!
And some of the older kids had to get in on the fun too.

FUN! You are so lucky to live so close to family.
Oh my goodness! What a fun party! I would have totally been there! It is so fun to see Bob and Andrea again! I think I saw Bishop Powell there too.
How I miss those wonderful people! Way to go on a successful party!
Happy Birthday, Kim!
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun and differently surprised your mom. What a fun birthday. I also love the cake.
Guess what surprised me? It was seeing Bob and Andrea. I haven't seen them in like 15 years. Way to long!
P.S. I'm coming to Utah this summer so when you are up at your parents house you should call me.
I love my family and how they love me! Thanks for the party and helping me turn "the big 50" in a fun way! Love you bunches!
