What We’ve Been Up to…
We are closing in fast on Spring Break, its just two weeks away! After the snow, ice, and cold of this winter we are looking forward to some fun in the sun. Two weeks ago Tatie’s class celebrated Black History month by putting on a play for all their parents entitled “Follow the Drinking Gourd”. Tatie […]

Basketball Season
Sydney started games this week in her after school Basketball clinic. She is doing a GREAT job! She even made a basket! Though I have to tell you she is best at defense. She was stuck like glue to her opponent!

Valenitne Contraband
After two days of no electricity. I am ready for all of this weather business to be over and spring to arrive! After spending the day in the house without electricity – with Kinsey who had a stomach bug and enjoyed the distinct pleasure of barfing by candle light – we opted to abandon the house and camp out […]

Winter Break

And having three girls in three different schools meant three different programs. Kinsey started us off this week with her very first choir […]

Road Show in a Day
I am convinced the following story would make an excellent LDS film script. Preferably by the ever popular Halstorm Entertainment. Some Mock-u-mentory that chronicles one Stake’s journey into the drama and competition of the phenomenon known only to us as “The Road Show”. For my non LDS family and friends let me offer a small […]

State Cross Country
We had an AMAZING meet this last Saturday in Lexington. (Though it did feel odd not to have Aunt Heather there…we missed her). Tatie and Sydney were first to race. We expected good numbers from both as they have been running 2 miles every single day after school and on the weekends. And let me […]

Dragon Meet
This last Saturday Sydney and Tatie had their last regular season Cross Country meet. It was an amazing day filled with personal records! Tatie finished her very first 3K race at 19 mins. 7 sec.! And Sydney zoomed in finishing 4th on her team and 53th over all at 15 mins 28 sec placing her […]

I believe in Foo!
Do you? Tatie came home from school on Tuesday with news of a special surprise guest that visited her school that very afternoon. And who was that guest? It was none other than Obert Skye, the author of the Leven Thumps series! He spent an hour telling the kids all about the land of Foo […]
