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
The last couple of days have been wonderful! The weather has been AWESOME (in the 70s) and we have really enjoyed going outside, relaxing and enjoying our time with family. We could definitely handle this kind of weather all year round! 🙂 The kids went for walks all over, fed horses, and they did some
This morning we got up early and headed out! We were excited to get to Texas and get our driving over with. What the kids didn’t realize is that once we got into Texas, we still had about a 5 hour drive to get to where we were going! 🙂 We crossed the state line
This morning we left very early and started our drive to Texas! We are going down to Harker Heights to visit Jeremy and D’Neill and their family (Angela’s Brother). It’s about a 17 hour drive down, but we decided to make some stops along the way and have some fun! Our first stop was in
Merry Christmas, everyone! This morning we got up early, got dressed for church, and then all went down to see what Santa had brought! It is always fun to see the excitement on the kid’s faces on Christmas morning. They love to be happy and we love it when they’re happy! I think the kids
