Today we got a phone call and found out that Ben and Zach got into the new Aspen View Academy! We are really excited as this is what we really wanted, but torn because they have such great teachers right now and they have already been in school for a couple of weeks. After thinking […]
Today was Brittany’s first day back to school as a SENIOR! Where has the time gone? Before you know it, Angela and I will be empty nesters! 🙁 I think that Brittany is excited for her senior year, but I also think she’s just as excited to have her senior year over, graduate, and go
Today was Kirstyn’s first day of High School! She was SO excited to jump right in, have fun, and start learning a ton! She was a little nervous as everyone is the first day of school, but when she came home, she was really excited. She made some new friends and that’s great! Brittany’s first
Today, Dad and I took a bunch of pictures for Brittany’s senior picture portfolio. We found a great spot, although I think that right there is the ONLY spot in Colorado with mosquitoes. We had to fend them off, but got some great pics! We love you cutie! After we got done, we had to
Today we got up early and went and had breakfast Applebee’s. It was for a school music fundraiser so we thought it was a great thing to support. The students served us. 🙂 After that, we went and watched the Douglas County Fair Parade in which the girls were both marching in the band. They
Today was the boys first day of school at Clear Sky Elementary. It was also Ben’s first day of elementary school as a new Kindergartner! 😐 That’s the last first day of Kindergarten we’ll ever have for one of our own! 🙁 We were feeling really old today! Ben was a bit nervous to go
Today was a busy day. The boys had swimming lessons (which have been going on all week) and really love them. They are quite the fish out of water. 🙂 Their teachers are having them jump off the diving boards and everything. Ben was a little nervous about that at first, but after the first
Zach is coming up on the last day of school and as part of this, they have an entrepreneur day where his class brought in stuff to sell and see how they could do. He decided to make cupcakes, but not only did he do that, he dressed up in his apron, had a great
The girls had youth conference (Kirstyn’s first) over the last 2 1/2 days. They had a blast! Came home talking like crazy about everything. Kirstyn and Brittany also had Marching Band kick-off and rehearsal for 4 hours on Thursday and Friday. They had to miss some of youth conference for that, but everything worked out
Today, Zach gave his year-end report on a famous person he admired. He has been working on this report for the past month and has been enjoying it very much. He chose George Washington. He dressed up like George and gave his report beautifully (from what we heard)! He gets done with school next week
Today was the last day of school for the girls! They are excited to be out. They have struggled with the move but have made some good friends and have been having fun as well. It will take a bit more adjustment, but they’re coming along! The boys still have another week of school, so
Tonight Kirstyn had the final band concert of the year at the middle school. Her teacher has been VERY impressed with her (no surprise there considering her talent and the district we just came from)! 🙂 She did a great job playing and she also got a band award with all the other 8th graders
