Today was a pretty busy day! Kirstyn (in addition to basketball practice) had auditions for the school musical. She is very excited for these and has been practicing like crazy. She really felt bad last year after not making it and is determined that this year, she will be in it. She is (as are […]
Today was Kirstyn’s first basketball game as a Lady Bulldog. We had a great time watching her. She still isn’t 100% sure exactly what she is supposed to be doing as she has never played competitive basketball before, but she did great! She even scored!!!! For me, that was the best part of it, even
Yet another really busy Saturday… This morning, Kirstyn went to EEP where they discussed electronic circuits. She loves being a part of the engineering program. I had to hurry and go pick her up after her event and ran over to Zachary’s second basketball game. He had a great time and they WON AGAIN!!! Two
Today, we all went down to the Morris ward building right after church to support Sarah as she received her Patriarchal Blessing. What a WONDERFUL experience that was for Angela and I to sit in on this very spiritual event. We spoke with Patriarch Burkhart for awhile and then he excused us in order to
Today was an absolutely CRAZY day! We had so much going on we didn’t even know where to start! The first part of the day was taken up shopping for basketball shoes for Kirstyn. We looked all over and it was hard to find women’s high-tops! She finally found a pair she liked and that
Happy Birthday Kirstyn (yesterday)!!! Big 13! 🙂 We opened presents, ate a great dinner in her honor, and had baked custard (instead of cake) which is one of Kirstyn’s favorites! Tonight Kirstyn had a birthday party with a bunch of friends from school and church. They had a great time eating a bunch of food
Today we had a scare… Sarah couldn’t get her car started after Seminary (and had to have it jumped). She then couldn’t get it started after school and so I went up in the dark thinking I would have to do all this work in the dark and cold and when I got in, it
Today we had our Stake Youth Theme Fireside and Brittany was asked to lead the music for the event. She was pretty nervous but she did a great job! She was so cute up there leading and smiling! 🙂 The theme for this year’s youth is “Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be
Today we got hit with a big storm that closed the schools early and closed work early. Even though I left early from work, it still took me over 2 1/2 hours to get home. The roads were a mess and I think that when it snows around here (especially the first big snow), people
Zachary started basketball today and had his first practice! This is the first time he has ever played and it is funny watching him. Most of the team have played before so they know what they are doing. They are patient with Zach, however. 🙂 When he came home, he said he loved it! We’ll
Tonight we had an Art Speaks meeting at Neuqua High School. We discussed an event we have coming up on February 9th which should be fantastic. ARTSpeaks features prominent speakers who will share how their involvement in the fine arts as a public school student molded their way of thinking and contributed to success in
Well, today the kids had to get up early again after a 2 week break and go back to school! 🙁 They weren’t too thrilled about it because they wanted to sleep in. Oh well, such is life! 🙂 It was a very nice Christmas break we had together as a family, though! 🙂
