Basketball

We are almost at the tale end of Basketball season for Jr jazz we have one all our games but one. Saturday his team won 61 - 14. Deacons ball they have also won all there games but one and are the number one team. We are just waiting for our play off schedule. 

Marshal has done really well and has had a great coach who has taught him a lot. In years past we have always ended up on teams with kids who have never played before or kids who all think they are the all star player. I have really enjoyed watching how much fun he is having working on teams that really get the concept of team work.

Worldwide Broadcast

Saturday Evening Chuck and I attended the worldwide broadcast for all adults of the church. It was such a good meeting. Both Chuck and I Have not stopped talking about it. I came away feeling so enthused about so many things. Sometimes you leave these meetings a little down with the list of things you need to be doing better. I left knowing I need to do better and that I can do better. 

It was also exciting to see and hear our new prophet speak to us for the first time. It is so amazing to me watching him from a few weeks ago he seems older and a little gentler, you knew when he was talking he is the prophet.

I would love to hear everyone else's views on the meeting.

I was hopping to do this earlier today but like normal the day got away from me.

Happy Birthday Nicolle !!!! 

I hope you had a great day. I love you so much. I find myself very blessed to have you as my sister and one of my best friends. I am so grateful for all the support you are for me I know that no matter what you will be there. I don't think I will ever be able to repay you for all the help and support you give me. It does not matter if it is helping me with car pool or just lisitening to me, you are always there. Thanks for being such a kind and loving person. You make life just a little bit brighter for all those who know you.  I love how you are always trying to improve yourself. You are always willing to learn new things even if it scares you to death. Keep on being you. YOU ROCK!
Love Ya,
Andrea

I'm Back!

I know it has been several months since I posted. Life sometimes gets a little crazy for me. I thought I better take the time to post something so my siblings will stop bugging me about my blog.(I do appreciate the concern everyone)

Yesterday was Marshal's birthday I can't believe he is 13. He got a new snowboard and all the gear for his birthday. (actually he got it a week and a half ago) so not having anything to open made for an odd birthday. We went to dinner and Kendall made him a cake. I think he had a good day. He is a really good kid and a great example to his sisters I can't believe that he is 13 It seems like yesterday when he was Kendalls age.

I hope to post pictures of some of our recent adventures. For Christmas I got a i mac computer and I finally got high speed internet this week so i am still trying to figure this thing out so be patient. Lara I might need your help he he!

Chat with you all soon

Halloween Picture

Here is this years Halloween picture. I hope to post more latter.

Catch up

It is amazing to me that when I have the most to share I can't find a second to get online. We have had such a fun October Marshal had his first choir concert which he did a incredible job he had a solo part in one of the songs. I was very impressed.

We had several Halloween activities. School carnival, parties, Boo at the Zoo. The Youth did a carnival for all the primary age kids it was a great success but boy am I glad I do not have to prepare an activity like that every month.

I will send pictures latter but the kids costumes turned out so cute. I was so afraid of sewing charly's costume that I kept putting it off but after 2 days strait of sewing I finished it and still can't believe I sewed that (she was belle from beauty and the beast) She looked gorgeous. I made Kendall a candy corn costume she was adamant that she was going to be a candy corn heaven for bit she pick one of the many costumes that would fit her in my bin. Noelle was Snow White (thanks Noelle for picking a costume that was already made) and Marshal was white trash. The weather was so much warmer this year that once they started I never saw them again till 9:oo They had a wonderful Halloween

Witches

I thought it would be fun to take Kendall on a field trip. She has been missing her brother and sisters so much we needed an outing.



I thought the witches at Gardner village would be fun, Easton disagreed with me. I was holding both Kendall and Easton's hand as soon as he saw the first witch he did not want to get anywhere near it he tried to let go of my hand and run to his mom. After a little talking and coaxing he was alright with it.

They thought the witch on the bike riding high in the sky was pretty funny.










Kendall wants to go back she had a great time. The kids played on the grass and liked looking for fish in the water.



We had a good time thanks for coming on such short notice Colle.

Yeah We Started School

Last Monday the girls were finally back in school. Although the school is not a 100% complete its great to have them back in school. Kendall was a little bugged how long they were gone. She makes me laugh when they are all leaving for the day, she yells "have a great day kids and hurry home".


When I got to school to meet my new teacher I found out that I have a sub for a month. My real teacher just had a baby. My best friend is in my class. The cool new play ground is so much fun, the wood chips really aren't wood chips they just look like it but they are made out of rubber. weird
I was so tired from walking home. I thought it took forever, I miss the bus.
I am really glad to be back in school. Noelle
I could not wait for Monday morning to wear my new school clothes. I woke up at 5 a.m. (my mom was not to sure about that) My teacher is so cool, I really like her.
I think fourth grade ROCKS! so far.
I have met a bunch of new friends. Everyday i eat in New York. Just kidding we have a huge map of the United States painted on the play ground and I like to sit on New York so I can tell everyone I ate in New York. I can't wait for the lunch room to be done. I like home lunch but I really miss having enchiladas and stuff like that.

This year we are working on our times tables but I already know them so it is kinda fun to help my friends. I also get to learn all about Utah History this year that will be way cool. Chat Latter, Charly

As a mom it is so fun to watch your children tackle new experiences. I am proud of Noelle for taking first grade in strides. It is hard enough going full day but to then add a substitute for a month and not to have school lunch. (She is positive lunch is going to be so cool, which makes me very afraid.)

I think we are off (finally) to a great school year!
