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 […]
When I got home from work today, Kirstyn was totally excited! She made the Still Middle School Basketball Team! She doesn’t know which team she will be on (7th Grade Double-A or Single-A) but her hard work and hustle at tryouts really paid off! 🙂 She thinks that she will be on the Single-A team
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
Today we had a great Ward Conference at church. The best part was that all three girls sang in the choir and it was beautiful! 🙂 The meetings went well and we learned a bunch… The theme of our Stake this year is “I am a Mormon,” which we are all excited about, especially with
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! 🙂
Today one of our friends was baptized and it was a really cool experience. Our whole family went and had a great experience with him. He is an ex-Marine and he and his wife moved into the Ward a few months ago. They just had a baby and are a great couple. We wish them
Well, today we’re back home now (although it feels good to be back in our own house after all that travel). We left Texas yesterday and drove to Dallas to the temple there. The freeways were incredibly hard to follow. The signs aren’t posted until right before road splits, and I always seemed to be
Happy New Year everybody!!! We are excited for a great up and coming 2012! Today we slept in (church was at 11) and I especially enjoyed not having to go to any early morning meetings! 🙂 We ate breakfast and then got ready to go to church. The kids were a little nervous to go
