This morning we opened presents for Ben before going to church. He got some fun stuff, and can’t wait to read his books. This afternoon we had a fun birthday dinner and party for Ben. We asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said that he wanted “Uncle Dan” (Dan Oscarson […]
Today was a really busy day! To start off, Kirstyn had her Solo and Ensemble Festival. She performed both an instrumental number with her clarinet (which Angela accompanied her on) and a voice piece with a group of her friends from chorus. They did well. Kirstyn thinks that she did MUCH better on her clarinet
Today Kirstyn had a game at Still. Unfortunately, they lost, but she was more aggressive this game than in previous ones. In fact, she got a great rebound and went up for another shot and got fouled. She got to go to the line for the first time. 🙂 Unfortunately, she didn’t make either shot,
Today there was no school and so I took a vacation day from work to spend time with the family. The day went VERY quick, however!!! Angela and I got up early and went to the temple. We got back at around 11 and relaxed with the kids, played some games, watched a movie, etc.
Today the kids didn’t have school due to the holiday. They had Solo and Ensemble Festival for the High Schools today as well. Brittany and Sarah both participated in it and they did a GREAT job! Brittany played her violin and Sarah played her flute. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures. I wanted to stay
Zach had his basketball game today and they won again!!! He played really hard and although he didn’t get the ball much, he had a great time! Angela got to be the scorekeeper again and she had a fun time doing that… After the game was over, the coaches handed out the weekly “Hoosier Hustle”
OK, we are now 3 games in 1 week! We could call this week “February Madness!” 🙂 Today they played Middle School at home. They lost pretty badly, but Kirstyn got a lot of playing time and had fun! She was probably the most aggressive she has ever been and it shows from the pictures
Today Kirstyn had another basketball game, this time at Fischer Middle School. She was really excited for this because Fischer hasn’t won a game yet either. She got a lot of playing time and got to start the game with the jump ball again… They played really hard and well and WON!!!! Kirstyn was SO
Tonight Kirstyn had her band and orchestra concert at Still. She did a wonderful job and we are so proud of her! Ben came with and the only way we can get him to sit still is to bring the iPad or iPhone. 🙂 One of his little friends from church was there as well
Today Kirstyn had another basketball game, this time at Crone Middle School. She is getting better and better each game. We are working on encouraging her to be more aggressive. 🙂 Today she got to play a lot more and she even got to start the game with the jump ball! She did a great
Tonight we had a re-broadcast of the 100th Anniversary of the Seminary program. We missed the original broadcast due to the Youth Theme Fireside for the year. Our Ward, the Naperville 3rd Ward, and the Oswego Ward all met in our building and watched the broadcast. I was in charge of all the technical equipment
Today Zach’s basketball team played Coach Tony’s and Coach Jeff’s team. They got to play against the other half of their Packers football team. We were hoping so much that Zach’s team would win (at least to make up for all the losses on the football field). They did! They actually looked really good and
