This evening we had our Pearls of Wisdom event at the church. This is to honor all the graduating seniors. Sarah had a huge amount of stuff set up for a display table and it was fun to see. There were 4 seniors that participated. Each senior was introduced by a sibling (Brittany spoke and […]
Today we finally got the outside wood on the house painted! It was MUCH needed and I had put it off for so long. We found a painter that had done other homes in our neighborhood and had done a great job. He power washed the wood and prepared it yesterday, and then painted today.
Yesterday we filled all the plastic eggs we had with candy and hid them in the back yard for our annual family Easter egg hunt. The boys had a blast! We invited the two little boys from next door over to join and they had a lot of fun as well. It was fun watching
Angela was called last week to be a Den Mom for our Pack and she is very excited! 🙂 She can’t wait until Zach becomes a Cub in July. She had her first Den Meeting today and although the kids are pretty rowdy, she had a great time and loves doing things with the boys.
This weekend was a pretty busy weekend due to General Conference. Kirstyn had EEP and then the rest of the weekend was spent watching conference sessions and learning a bunch. Last night for the Priesthood session, we did our usual get-together at Portillos for dinner and then went over to the session as a group.
Today was a full “play day” for the kids. Kirstyn did a mall trip with her friends, Brittany hung out with friends as well, and tonight, since it was spring break, we didn’t have any “official” Young Men and Young Women activities. That said, the Laurels and Priests decided to get together and have a
Today the basketball tournament started for the middle schools. Kirstyn played hard, but they lost in the first round. 🙁 They are now done for the season. Kirstyn played hard and we are so proud of her efforts! She received a certificate in which she got the “No More Mr. Nice Girl” award! 🙂
Today, Zach lost his first basketball game! 🙁 He played a little better but they still came up short. He wasn’t sad though. When they lost, he said, “well, at least our record is better than in football!” 🙂 We had to laugh at that one! After the game was over, Kirstyn had a band
This morning we opened presents for Ben before going to church. He got some fun stuff, and can’t wait to read his books. This afternoon we had a fun birthday dinner and party for Ben. We asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said that he wanted “Uncle Dan” (Dan Oscarson
Today there was no school and so I took a vacation day from work to spend time with the family. The day went VERY quick, however!!! Angela and I got up early and went to the temple. We got back at around 11 and relaxed with the kids, played some games, watched a movie, etc.
Tonight we had a re-broadcast of the 100th Anniversary of the Seminary program. We missed the original broadcast due to the Youth Theme Fireside for the year. Our Ward, the Naperville 3rd Ward, and the Oswego Ward all met in our building and watched the broadcast. I was in charge of all the technical equipment
Today Zach’s basketball team played Coach Tony’s and Coach Jeff’s team. They got to play against the other half of their Packers football team. We were hoping so much that Zach’s team would win (at least to make up for all the losses on the football field). They did! They actually looked really good and
