Today, Angela spoke in Stake Conference! She spoke on faith in our callings and did a WONDERFUL job (as everyone expected)! 🙂 There were probably 900 people in attendance in the building with the meeting streamed over the internet to another 2 buildings in the area. She was a little nervous, but you couldn’t tell […]
Today was Zachary’s final soccer game of the Spring 2010 season. The weather was perfect and the kids had a GREAT time! And… They won! They were so excited! They played really hard and scored 5 goals to the other team’s 3 goals. Zachary played all the different positions, including goalie which he hadn’t played
Today Sarah had Marching Band Leader tryouts and worked hard on her interview questions to be able to do well. She was a little nervous, but she said everything went great! Her teachers were very impressed (like they were last year). Good luck Sarah! Tonight was the first annual Metea Music Awards where all the
Tonight, Sarah had her final Band Concert of the 2010 school year. They all sounded so good and we really enjoyed listening to all the bands in the brand new auditorium. Sarah played both the piccolo and the flute in the pieces that they played. It is amazing to us every time we hear them
Today Brittany had her middle school Conference Track Meet. There were 14 teams there. Brittany ended up running 4 races… 1) the Medley Relay (where she ran the 2oo), 2) the 4 x 200 meter relay, 3) the 4 x 100 meter relay, and 4) the 200 meter dash. They really did well at the
Tonight, we attended Seminary Graduation for our Stake. This celebrates those who completed 4 years of early-morning religious study (there should be an award just for getting up every day and being somewhere at 6am for 4 years) and also honors those who have completed specific requirements. Sarah was one of those in the latter
Today was an incredibly busy day! Most of it was taken up by the District 204 Fine Arts Festival in which all of our kids (except Ben, of course) were involved. Zachary had art that was selected to be displayed. Kirstyn sang with her choir, played with her band, and had art selected. Brittany had
Tonight, Zachary, Kirstyn, and I went to the Kane County Cougars baseball game. Tonight was one of the “Ozzie Reading Club” nights where school kids can get free tickets, free hot dogs and drinks, and free t-shirts for reading a certain number of books! 🙂 When we got there, we found our seats, which were
Tonight Brittany had her final chorus concert at Still. She sang both with the 8th grade chorus and her honors chorus groups. They sounded great! We’re not done with the Still Middle School music program, however, as Kirstyn will be here next year doing both band and orchestra. Brittany sure has loved being in music
Tonight, our family held its 6th annual Teacher Appreciation Dinner. It’s getting more and more difficult to coordinate now that we have 4 kids in school! 🙂 All the kids invite 1 or 2 teachers they feel have impacted their lives in a good way during the year and we invite them over for a
Yesterday, Angela went down to Indianapolis with some of her friends from the ward to the Indy Mini (half-marathon). She was going to run but decided to cheer her friends on instead. It was freezing cold and she was shivering the whole time. They had a great outing and had fun together. There were also
Tonight, Kirstyn had her final chorus concert at Gombert. She loves singing, and will have a great time next year in Middle School both singing AND playing her clarinet. She also had a speaking part which surprised me because I had no clue (normal). 🙂 They sang some pretty complicated songs which had multiple parts
