George Washington Goes to Clear Sky

Today, Zach gave his year-end report on a famous person he admired.  He has been working on this report for the past month and has been enjoying it very much.  He chose George Washington.  He dressed up like George and gave his report beautifully (from what we heard)! He gets done with school next week

Last Day of Middle and High School!

Today was the last day of school for the girls!  They are excited to be out.  They have struggled with the move but have made some good friends and have been having fun as well.  It will take a bit more adjustment, but they’re coming along!  The boys still have another week of school, so

Rockies Game with Denver Office

Today the Denver Office had an outing to a Rockies game and so I decided to go and meet some of the Denver office people!  It was a lot of fun.  Fortunately, one other IT person was there so I wasn’t completely alone.  We started off the activity eating Reindeer, Wild Board, and other exotic

Last Day of Seminary

Today was Brittany’s last day of Seminary!  She was bummed because she’ll really miss seeing her teacher, Brother Hess, every day.  We really owe a lot to him.  He took Brittany under his wing and made sure she felt accepted and welcome. Great job on another wonderful year, Brittany!

Kirstyn Band Concert and Music News!

Tonight Kirstyn had the final band concert of the year at the middle school.  Her teacher has been VERY impressed with her (no surprise there considering her talent and the district we just came from)! 🙂  She did a great job playing and she also got a band award with all the other 8th graders

Young Women Fundraiser

Today, the girls went to the church and spent all morning making hundreds of cinnamon rolls for a young women fundraiser for camp.  We bought 6 dozen from them, which we put in the freezer and will enjoy a TON for the weeks to come (if we can make them last that long)!  🙂 Can’t

Angela and Ben Back Home!

Angela and Ben arrived safely back home today and it is GREAT to have them back!  We also got Zach’s school picture today.  They all had tie-dye shirts for their pictures (his school class).  Since he came in late, they only had one left and it was a tad snug on him.  🙂  He hated

Sarah and Angela Leave for Utah

Today was one of the hardest days of my life.  Angela, Ben, and Sarah left home today to take Sarah out to the MTC.  I was able to give her a father’s blessing before they left, and I could barely get through it.  It was a very emotional time, and I sobbed like a baby.
