Today, Zach had a great presentation at school. Each of the kids were supposed to dress up as a figure that they admire, either from past or not-so-distant past. The scientific-minded Zach chose Galileo. He dressed up, took his telescope to school and presented on the life of the famous astronomer. Tonight, Kirstyn attended the […]
Today was Brittany’s BIG day! Graduation from High School! Grandma and Grandpa Halliday came in late last night to participate in the occasion as well so it was good to see them. The ceremony was at Red Rocks, an absolutely stunning venue where they hold concerts and all kinds of events. Kirstyn and Brittany got
Today we all went up as a ward to the Temple to perform some service. We pulled up old flowers and got the beds ready for planting. There were a LOT of flowers that were still really good that they were throwing away, so we got some bags, dug up some of them carefully, and
Tonight was Seminary Graduation! Kirstyn finished up her freshman year, and Brittany graduated with her 4 year certificate. Both also received the Stake President’s award. We are so proud of you girls for giving so much to be there every morning so early and to be ready to learn and love the gospel!
Today, Angela went over to AVA and helped out in Zach’s class and had some fun. They took class pictures, played games, and enjoyed themselves. NO HOMEWORK! 🙂
Today Ben had AVA Field Day! He played all kinds of games and had an absolute blast! We took a TON of pictures… He had a blast as did everyone in his class and grade! 🙂
Today was Brittany’s LAST day of High School! She was very excited but also a little sad. Weird to say, but we were kind-of happy that she was sad because with the move, we weren’t sure she was going to really adjust well and have a great senior year. She made a lot of friends
Uh, what just happened? We woke up this morning and it had snowed about 5-6 inches! In May? What is up with that? Well, we made the best of it, and the boys do what boys do best… went out and played in it until they were frozen solid! 🙂 They build a big snowman
Today was a busy day! It started off with Kirstyn and her friends helping haul topsoil for our garden boxes and washing all our cars for the service we bought from them for the gala fundraiser. They had a great time and we got all our dirt put in and ended up with very clean
Tonight was the annual VPA Review Concert for Brittany and Kirstyn. All the music groups performed for quite the large audience. One of the issues at Castle View is that the auditorium is VERY small and won’t even fit the current Freshman class in it. Because of this, they have to do all these large
Tonight, Zach had his final AVA concert of the year! He did a great job as well. We have to laugh a little as Zach’s voice is changing a bit and he can’t sing quite as high as they want him to so he has to drop down an octave. 🙂 Our little guy’s growing
Ben had his outdoor AVA concert to finish up the year this afternoon. I took a break from work to go see him perform. It was really cute and they all had such a fun time singing! After the concert, they gave the teachers gifts and recognized them for their hard work. We sure love
