Today we had a BIG scare! Ben and Zach were out on the patio shoveling off snow to make a fort, and Ben tripped and fell backward into our window well! 🙁 It was about a 6-7 foot drop. Fortunately he landed on his backside but he hit his head on either the window or […]
Today we got up REALLY early in Salmon and left (5:30am) to drive down to Rexburg for the blessing of Mark and Jocelyn’s baby Paxton. Leaving that early from Salmon requires everyone to keep on the lookout for deer and elk darting out in the middle of the road. It is somewhat nerve-racking as in
Today we found out that Kirstyn made the high school musical (Once Upon a Mattress)! She was SO excited and couldn’t contain herself. She didn’t get the part she had the callbacks for but another lady in waiting part which is one of the major parts as well. 🙂 That’s pretty great for a freshman
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today we had a wonderful time spending time with family and enjoying the Thanksgiving Holiday! Everyone met at Grandma and Grandpa Hobbs’ home for dinner and we all enjoyed each others company. As to be expected, there was a TON of food and we were all stuffed when we were done! The
Today we got up early and drove up to Rexburg to do a BYU Idaho tour. The girls did the tour while Zach, Ben, and I wandered around campus and checked everything out. There was no one in the big gym so we went in there and the boys had fun.. After the tour was
Today, Angela, Brittany, and Kirstyn got up early (after not much sleep) and drove up to Utah State University in Logan for a campus tour. Brittany was really excited and is leaning toward USU right now for school. They had a great time there while the boys and I slept in and then relaxed for
Today Kirstyn had her callbacks for the musical at the high school! She was really nervous, but she had practiced a TON around the house and due to the fact that she is such a drama queen anyway, we think she’s got a pretty good chance of making it! We picked her up after a
Our back yard is now complete and we love it! It took a bit with the torrential downpours we got and other weather-related issues, but it’s done and we couldn’t be happier! The only thing we don’t have done quite yet is the planter boxes. We’ll fill those with dirt and get the drip line
Happy Halloween everyone! Tonight, Angela and I went out with the boys, while Kirstyn and Melinda Liddell stayed back, watched Disney movies, and handed out candy. Brittany went with Taylor (her new “boyfriend”) out with some of his friends in Highland’s Ranch. The boys were really excited! We went out to our neighborhood and then
Tonight we were invited over to the Rollingson’s home for a Halloween party. It was a ton of fun! We had some great food, and then in groups we went out on a flashlight scavenger hunt for candy. They have about 10 acres or so of mostly unimproved land, so it was like taking a
Tonight, Brittany and Angela went to a Utah State reception (similar to the one that Sarah and Angela went to in Illinois). Brittany took her ACT score and transcript with, hoping to get accepted and to get some scholarship money… She was accepted and given the out-of-state tuition scholarship! 🙂 She is SO excited! Right
Today after church, we went to dinner at the Pedersen’s, some friends of ours from the ward. They’re great friends and Zach and their son Casey are joined at the hip! It’s funny to watch them. Casey said that Zach “gets him” and that’s why he likes Zach so much. 🙂 We all had a
