Angela and Ben arrived safely back home today and it is GREAT to have them back! We also got Zach’s school picture today. They all had tie-dye shirts for their pictures (his school class). Since he came in late, they only had one left and it was a tad snug on him. 🙂 He hated […]
Today the Stake held a Women’s Conference, and the girls went with Angela to it. They had a good time (although the girls didn’t think they would at first). 🙂 They got to know more people from our ward and some from the stake. Tonight was the highlight of the girl’s week. After another week
Today, Brittany had the ACT. We got up early and drove up to the high school they were taking the test at and dropped her off. We then came home and did some housework and unpacking. Hopefully things went well with the test. She feels she did OK, but we’ll see what happens! 🙂 We
Angela had a virtual lunch with her Naperville/Aurora IL girls group. They had lunch out there and then called Angela and Skyped with her and she did a tour of the house. Was quite sad when finished because she misses them. Today the first week of school finished up for the girls out here. Brittany
What a crazy moment for all of our kids! Today was their last day of school in Illinois! They are excited to go to Colorado, but they all came home wondering why we were doing this and really wanting to be more with their Illinois friends! Spring break starts this week, so I’m sure they
Tonight, Brittany had her last Metea Orchestra concert. Again, as I say in about every post concerning the fine arts programs in District 204, it never ceases to amaze me at how talented the kids are. We hope that the music program in wherever we end up in Colorado is good, but we can’t even
Kirstyn participated in the District 204 Solo and Ensemble Festival today with a group of her friends. They sang beautifully and got the highest marks from the judge. Before the competition, they all went out and bought matching outfits (which they probably had just as much fun doing as they did singing). 🙂 They were
Kirstyn made the Still Middle School Basketball Team again this year!!! We hope she’ll be able to finish out the season before we move. She was SO excited when she found out and couldn’t wait to get out on the court! Their first game today was against Scullen, and they did pretty well. They didn’t
Tonight, Kirstyn had a wonderful Band and Chorus Concert at Still. She did a great job (as usual). This could be her last concert at the school and she was kind-of sad, but is excited to move. The band and chorus teachers are not too happy about that, but she’s in 8th grade and will
Today was absolutely crazy busy! Kirstyn played in one of her last basketball games (and did very well I might add). She has really enjoyed the opportunity to play recreation ball to keep up her skills for hopefully making the Still Middle School Team again this year. Kirstyn then went up to Metea and participated
Sarah flew back to school early this morning. Sniff sniff. 🙁 It was great having her home over the past couple of weeks and we all sure enjoyed it! Her papers for her mission are going in and now we’re just waiting to hear where she’s going! Best of luck this Semester, Sarah!
Tonight BYU played San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl! It was televised on ESPN, and Sarah was there! The game was AWESOME and BYU beat San Diego State 23 to 6! Go Cougars! There was a sign there that we thought was absolutely hilarious… it said “The Mayan world may end tomorrow, but the
