Today, Angela took Kirstyn, Zach, and Ben to the Denver Mint on a field trip. They had a great time and learned a lot! Zach especially likes these kinds of historical/social studies types of trips. He really eats up the knowledge that can be gained. 🙂 Ben’s favorite part was that he got a penny […]
Yesterday we got Kirstyn all packed up and ready to go to girl’s camp. For the 4th year hike, everything they bring has to be packed on their backs. Since it is such a rigorous and demanding experience (hiking and living on the trail), they take it very seriously. Tonight we had to take all
Zach and Ben are in swimming lessons now, as normal, love them. They are just two fish out of water we think. The recreation center teachers are good and the boys like them. Zach especially likes going off the diving board. 🙂 They both passed their classes with flying colors and can’t wait to get
Ben started t-ball and is SO excited to be playing! He had his first game today and loved it! He did quite well considering he’s never played before. He may just turn into being one of the best hitters on the team. He sure has an eye for the ball! He has a great set
Happy BIG 18th Birthday Brittany! When Brittany woke up this morning, she let us know that she was now an adult and was fully responsible and could do whatever she wanted now. 🙂 Not sure what the life-changing event was between 11:59pm last night and 12:01am this morning that would make such a difference. We
Today we inherited a new friend for the summer. Brittany’s best friend here, Sierra, just moved (which was VERY sad for Brittany), but she had a pet gecko that she couldn’t take with her. That said, she decided to give the gecko to the biology teacher at the school when classes start up again. Brittany
Today we had our annual teacher appreciation dinner. Unfortunately, this year, there were some last-minute conflicts, so some of the teachers couldn’t come, but we did have most of the seminary teachers (Eisele, Hermann, and Dawson), and the girls’ choir director at CVHS, Heath Walter. We had a fun time eating, recognizing the teachers, and
This last week was a crazy but fun week! I decided to lump all o f the craziness into one post… On Sunday after church, Angela packed Kirstyn, the boys, and Josh Ahlstrom (a friend of ours) into the van and drove out to Utah. The whole week Kirstyn and Ashley Smith, her best friend
Today we had a graduation open house/party for Brittany (along with a partial 18th birthday party for her as well). We had a lot of people come over and congratulate her on a job well done and have some food from our build-your-own nacho bar! We had a great time chatting with everyone and Brittany
Ben and Zach had their last day of school at AVA today! They both had parties in their rooms and Angela went to help. Ben was pretty funny! I wish I could have been there. He really loved Miss Kalaveshi, his teacher, and he said that he really wants to have her again next year!
Today, while Grandma and Grandpa Halliday were in town, we took them for a drive up into the mountains to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, Brittany had to work so she couldn’t come. 🙁 We drove up and around near Mount Evans and got some pretty pictures and enjoyed the cool weather. We thought about driving
Today Zach had has AVA Field Day! He had a blast playing games and enjoying being with his friends! Angela (as usual) went over to help out where she could and also to enjoy watching Zach have fun! 🙂
