It’s hard to believe that it’s September already and that the kids have been in school for 2 weeks now. Zach seems to be doing well and we have had no hint that he’s just got up and wandered out of his classroom during the day. 🙂 Sarah continues to enjoy Seminary and is loving […]
Today was a wonderful day! We left at around 6:30am this morning and drove down to Nauvoo. Today was a big day for some friends, the Jordan Family. Carla went through the temple for the first time and then the entire family (Sydney, Carla, and their 3 kids) were sealed together. It was a very
Today we had curriculum night for both the elementary and the middle school. They goofed on the timing, so Angela and I had to split up. I went to the elementary and she went to the middle school. Both principals were very apologetic about the mix-up on timing. Anyway, it was fun to go to
Late tonight, I finished the 2009 Hobbs Family Reunion DVD. Fortunately it fits on 1 DVD and has not only the DVD movie content, but the full-sized photos of all the pictures in the show, a .WMV (Windows Streaming Media) movie file of the slide show, and 2 web albums (1 flash and 1 standard)!
Today Metea Valley High School had a great celebration and kick-off for the year at the building with scrimmages for all the fall sports teams. The marching band played their pre-game as well as performed their halftime show for the crowd. Things are really coming together for the band and she LOVES being a marching
Well, Zachary rode the bus for the first time today! 😐 Today was his first full day of school and he was pretty nervous! He went with Kirstyn, however, and she took GREAT care of him and made sure he got to where he needed to go! It was very funny however… When he came
Well, it’s that time again! Today the kids went back to school! It’s amazing how fast the summer went. The kids got out in June and with school starting earlier than normal this year, we lost almost 2 full weeks of summer! Oh well, school will be out before Memorial Day next year which will
A new record has been set! The 2008 Halliday Family Album DVD is now finished! Normally it doesn’t get done until Christmas of the following year, but it’s August! This year’s theme is “Unplugged” and refers to no flashy dress-up like in the past (i.e. previous years were things like Halliday Incredibles, Meet the Hallidays,
Overall, the past week went very well (Zach party, High School Orientation, parties, band parent preview, etc.)! The kids will be starting school this week and aren’t too wonderfully excited about that! This has been a short summer. The kids got out in June and this year, school starts on the 20th of August! Where
Today Angela and I went up to the new high school to the Metea Valley High School Marching Mustangs marching band parent preview. We met with the marching band director and found out about all of the schedule for this season, including more details about the Disney World trip during spring break. We then got
Even though we had a birthday party as a family when Zach turned 5 on July 5th, he still wanted a friend birthday party, and today was the soonest we could do it. Angela worked really hard to pull it together. The theme? Spalsh Bash! Zach invited 11 friends over for a backyard water party.
Today was quite the busy day! While the kids were having fun at home, I was having fun at work. I went to a seminar from LanDesk this morning (about workstation patching and software license management) at a movie theater in Rosement that was supposed to be a casino. It’s an incredible theater!
