This morning the girls, Ben and I went to the Ward Christmas Breakfast and had a great time! During the night, Zach woke up sick and throwing up, so Angela stayed home with him. From the Facebook posts and everything about Ben, he was quite the celebrity this morning. Everyone wanted to know how he […]
Great news! Ben is going to be just fine! I went to Children’s Hospital today and picked up Ben and Angela. He’s doing MUCH better and has that cute smile back on his face. The doctors say he can’t do any jumping, sledding, going outside on the ice or anything for at least 2 months.
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
Yesterday, we got to see the Pocock family who we got to be friends with in Naperville. They decided to move out west and are looking to move to Castle Rock or somewhere close by! 🙂 Ben and their son Jake are really good buddies and Ben can’t be more excited! They came over yesterday
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
Today the new church building was dedicated. It was a wonderful service and it was very interesting to hear how the church has grown in our area. Not too many years ago it was one ward, and now we have a stake and 12 wards! Amazing!
Today, Zach had his 4th grade “Medieval Fair” at school. He and his group have been working on this for a LONG time, building things, creating costumes, flags, banners, etc. He had a GREAT time! Angela went over to help out in the classroom today with it and had fun as well. We built swords
