Today was a full “play day” for the kids. Kirstyn did a mall trip with her friends, Brittany hung out with friends as well, and tonight, since it was spring break, we didn’t have any “official” Young Men and Young Women activities. That said, the Laurels and Priests decided to get together and have a […]
Today we got up early and drove to Starved Rock State Park, where we hiked for about 7-8 miles around all kinds of trails, canyons, etc. and really wore ourselves out! All the kids did a great job and we had a wonderful time! We all didn’t think we could keep up with Angela, but
Today, Mom and Dad Hobbs got home from their mission to Japan! 🙂 They landed in Idaho Falls around 2pm or so totally exhausted and probably a little sad to have left all their friends in Japan behind. They had a great welcome party waiting for them when they got home, however! Angela was really
Today Spring Break started and even more importantly for Sarah, Hunger Games came out to the theaters! They made shirts and went to the movie… Going to the movie was part of a birthday party for a guy in our ward. They had a blast and Sarah LOVED the movie! This week should be a
Today, Illinois held the Republican Primary Elections, and Angela and I decided to have some fun and go to Mitt Romney’s victory party up in Schaumburg (at least we hoped it would be his victory party)! 🙂 We got up there, got through security, and found friends to have fun with! We were right up
Today was a really busy day! Kirstyn had her EEP activities so we took her up to that. Sarah and Brittany participated in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Naperville with Anderson’s Bookstore. They had a blast doing that (as they always do). Zach had his last basketball game as well. They ended up losing
Today Angela went over to Gombert Elementary and helped Zach’s class with their “Super Science” activities. This is something Angela always loves to do and it made Zach SO happy that his mom came to help out in his class. He is such a sweet little guy and loves his mom!
Today the basketball tournament started for the middle schools. Kirstyn played hard, but they lost in the first round. 🙁 They are now done for the season. Kirstyn played hard and we are so proud of her efforts! She received a certificate in which she got the “No More Mr. Nice Girl” award! 🙂
Today, Kirstyn played her last regular season game. Unfortunately, they lost, but she had a great time and can’t wait for the tournament to start. It’s a single elimination round, but she is excited to play at least one more game. We’ll see how they do. We are so proud of Kirstyn and how hard
Today, Zach lost his first basketball game! 🙁 He played a little better but they still came up short. He wasn’t sad though. When they lost, he said, “well, at least our record is better than in football!” 🙂 We had to laugh at that one! After the game was over, Kirstyn had a band
Today Sarah found out that she was selected to be in the Pit for the Metea High School’s musical this year!!! Yea Sarah! She was so excited! The musical? One of her very favorites… Beauty and the Beast! When she got home from school, she was walking on cloud 9! She will be playing her
Kirstyn had another game today (which unfortunately I missed due to time). She did a great job and is getting better with each and every game. She is starting center now and the coach has her doing all the jump balls! 🙂 Brittany also had a Percussion Ensemble concert tonight which turned out great! She
