Today was the District 204 Solo and Ensemble Festival. Sarah and Brittany participated in it (Kirstyn’s is later) and they did a great job. We are so proud of them. There were no rankings given out, however. The normal area Solo and Ensemble Festival that they have yearly was canceled because they couldn’t find a […]
Kirstyn gave her first talk at church today! She did a GREAT job and wrote a wonderful talk all by herself. She was really nervous, but when she got up in front of the congregation, you couldn’t tell at all. She seemed very calm and ready to go! GREAT JOB Kirstyn! We are very proud
Today was an absolute crazy busy day! Where to start… Sarah had the ACT today and was very nervous about taking it. She has been studying and feels ready but still hates taking tests! She got up early and Angela drove her down to a high school in Plainfield to take the test. She was
Tonight was the Gombert Elementary School Open House. We have been at that school so many years now, I think we now have the record! This is our 12th consecutive open house there! We figured we had 8 more to go before we didn’t have any more kids in elementary school. I think that we
Tonight Kirstyn had her band and chorus concert at Still. They did a GREAT job! It seems as though every year, the kids get better and better for their grade level. That is what we really like about this school district. They really value the Arts and work hard to provide this to the kids.
Ouch! 42! Today was my birthday, and we had a great dinner of steak on the grill, along with mashed potatoes! 🙂 I then opened my presents and had a great time! Zach made me the most original present. I’m wearing the mask he made in the picture below. It was funny! 🙂 Nice 12th
Today, was a pretty busy day! Angela (with me as her tech crew) started the day off early with a couponing class at the church. She and a friend/sister in the ward presented a class on how to save money through couponing and it was well received. They did a great job and will have
Well, we still can’t get out of our neighborhood so I worked from home and school was canceled again! The snow plow came late in the evening and they did a REALLY bad job of plowing our road. It must be because our neighborhood doesn’t have any Aldermen or School Board members in it! 🙂
The tile was finished yesterday and today, we wiped down the floor and sealed it! The washer and dryer are back in their home! We are very happy and are doing a BUNCH of loads of laundry to get caught up! 🙂 Last night a blizzard started that could end up being the worst in
Construction still continues! We have been without a washer and dryer for about 4 days now and Angela is getting tired of it being in the hall. The good thing is that it blocks the running track that the boys use to chase each other around in circles and that has been a blessing on
Happy 12th Birthday, Kirstyn! It’s hard to believe that our little baby girl is already 12! Time is flying by so fast! With Kirstyn turning 12 on the 26th, we had a small family party for her which she loved! She also, being the socialite that she is, wanted a little party to hang out
Happy Birthday Kirstyn! Wow, it is amazing how old our kids are getting! Kirstyn went to her first Young Women activity yesterday and everyone sang to her! It was really cute! On Monday night, we celebrated with a birthday dinner at Sweet Tomatoes! We ran into a friend of Sarah’s that works there. HE gave
