Today we decided to take a little excursion and went up to the Hammond Candy Factory in Denver. This place is a pretty popular place, especially at Christmas! They make world-famous candy canes, ribbon candy, and other fun stuff to eat! We went to the store there at the factory and got some stuff and […]
Today we had our Christmas theme Sacrament Meeting at church. The choir sung beautifully and Brittany and Kirstyn got to sing a duet together. They did a GREAT job and we’re so proud of them!
The last day of finals was today! No more Statistics class for Brittany! She is SO excited to be done with that! The boys still had to go to school today but are done after today until the break is over in January. Today, Ben got a gold certificate for his behavior! He went above
Tonight we went caroling as a ward. We met at the Red Hawk golf club and then drove around to care homes for the elderly in the area and sang to them. It was fun and the kids really had a great time. We had about 30 or so people there. The elderly had fun
Today we went to Zach’s first basketball game. It turns out that his team is REALLY good. They totally blew away the other team by something like 25 points! I wouldn’t be surprised if the team went undefeated this year. After the game, the girls had a service project cleaning and repairing bikes at the
Tonight we went to an awesome Christmas party at the Fradin’s, some friends of ours. There were a ton of people there that we knew and we had a wonderful time! We ate a lot of food and we had a fun white elephant-type gift exchange (gifts for the guys, gifts for the girls) that
Tonight we attended our 5th concert of the week, but we only had one tonight (in addition to having to run Zach to his basketball practice and barely making it to the concert)! 🙂 Brittany and the Chamber Orchestra did a GREAT job and they sounded wonderful! Great job playing Brittany!
Today was absolutely crazy! We had 3 concerts for the kids. We were run ragged by the time they were over. We went to Kirstyn’s, then ran Zach over to his right after that and watched his, then ran right back over to Brittany’s concert and watched hers. They all did a GREAT job! We
Tonight was a crazy night! Zach had basketball practice and Kirstyn had her Holiday Band Concert. Getting to everything and making sure everyone was where they needed to be was tricky. Kirstyn did a wonderful job in her concert! We love listening to her play music. Great job, Kirstyn! Keep up the great musical work!
This morning the girls, Ben and I went to the Ward Christmas Breakfast and had a great time! During the night, Zach woke up sick and throwing up, so Angela stayed home with him. From the Facebook posts and everything about Ben, he was quite the celebrity this morning. Everyone wanted to know how he
Great news! Ben is going to be just fine! I went to Children’s Hospital today and picked up Ben and Angela. He’s doing MUCH better and has that cute smile back on his face. The doctors say he can’t do any jumping, sledding, going outside on the ice or anything for at least 2 months.
Today we had a BIG scare! Ben and Zach were out on the patio shoveling off snow to make a fort, and Ben tripped and fell backward into our window well! 🙁 It was about a 6-7 foot drop. Fortunately he landed on his backside but he hit his head on either the window or
