BRADLEY'S PERFORMANCE
The Third grade put on quite the performance on Tuesday. It was so much fun to watch!! Normally those things get a little long or boring, but not this one! It was just the right length and there was the perfect amount of action and entertainment. I LOVED watching Bradley! He was so animated and so fun to see in the spotlight. He had a special part he had to memorize for the opening, and he did a great job on that. He was just a goofy little guy when it came to the dancing and such. I absolutely loved it! He made it so fun and made Nate and I so proud. I hope I can get the pictures to upload eventually :). 12-17-13
CELLO
We got to go see Charity perform a few songs with her new orchestra. That was a lot of fun too! She's really getting it! I was surprised at how well they all sounded! It wasn't a formal concert, we sat on the floor in the gym :), but it sure was fun to get a taste of what she is getting up so early for, two days a week, to be a part of! Lots of fun! 12-17-13
CHOIR
Charity and Kelly had their first Choir performance at the school on Thursday. We went and watched, they sounded great!! I loved watching Charity do her special little part that she had so bravely tried out for and to see Kelly's cute kitty picture at the same time! My talented little kids!! While I don't plan on pushing them to do choir or anything else for that matter, I do love that they enjoy singing and being taken back to my choir days. I loved being a part of that. I think the girls were the only ones that knew ALL the words to their songs.As usual. It's fun to watch them. They had some pretty cute songs. I got pictures, but again, hopefully they will upload soon :).
That evening, they performed at Station Park in Farmington. It was SOOOOOOO cold that night! We had been dumped on that morning with quite a bit of snow, so there was plenty of it on the ground and also, still falling from the sky! My feet were freezing! But they kept the attention of our little audience, the little kids, Erika, Noah and Luke, stood there and watched the whole thing standing completely still and in awe :). I couldn't get enough of that :). Bradley wandered around throwing snowballs at his friends. It was a lot of fun though! I'm so proud of their hard work, their diligence with getting up early and to the school every Wednesday! They are so self-sufficient these days, it surprises me. 12-19-13
POLAR EXPRESS MRS. PIPER'S CLASS STYLE
I had the privilege of helping to plan Noah's class party again, being the room Mom. Mrs. Piper had quite a bit planned, she seemed to really enjoy doing a lot of it herself, so that's what we did :). But we were able to do a few stations and then a snowball fight with puff balls and then she gifted them with a little bell necklace at the end of the day. It was a lot of fun for Noah! I'm glad I get to be a part of it all. 12-20-13
THE MAUGHAN'S
The Maughans invited us over for a little game/run around their house and make noise night. That was a lot of fun! We played Apples to Apples, Luke won! The kids mostly ran around and were crazy, but we also squeezed in a game of Pictionary too. That was fun! I never enjoy pictionary, but I did this time!! It was a lot of fun.
Charity had to miss the fun though, her friend Laurie had a birthday party. Surprisingly it was difficult for her to decide which even to attend, but she settled on that, and from the blue frosting that was smeared all over her face, I think she made the right decision and had a good time :). 12-20-13
LESS SHAMPOO
So Heidi and I finally made it to a salon to have our eyebrows done! We have been growing them out since this summer!!! I can't believe I lasted that long! She came all the way out here to go to a Salon in Kaysville, and she sat there and helped me decide how to get my hair cut before finally getting our eyebrows waxed. It was a lot of fun to sit and visit with her. I love that she can help me out a little with my looks. I feel more confident when I know it's something Heidi suggested. I've never really gone with anyone else when I get my haircut or do other things, so it was a nice and welcome change. I chopped off about 6 inches off my hair. It's almost not noticeable because it's still kinda long. I did get bangs though--- we'll see how that ends up :), so far I like them. But in the past they're more maintenance than I am capable of. So we'll see :). My friend in my ward asked, "Do you normally wear glasses?" She could tell something was different, but she wasn't sure what :). Yes, my eyebrows were HUMONGOUS and now they are slightly smaller :). Maybe my eyes are more noticeable now :). Just kidding. Good stuff. 12-21-13
KAMBREE
We went out on a limb on Saturday and went to visit Kambree at her Mom's house. She got a restraining order on Don, so he is not allowed to see her til March after the trial, and he's been pretty depressed and worried about her. As he should be. Let's just say, she's not living in the best of circumstances right now. It's actually really sad. I hate thinking about our Judicial system and how it is failing my little friend Kambree and putting her life in the hands of people who don't care, and are not taking care of her in even the slightest way. She sure wasn't herself. I was glad we were able to see her and take her a little gift from our family. She is a sweet little girl. Nate got their number so that we can go get her and take her to a movie with us or something sometime soon, but I'm pretty sure that's not ever going to happen. It's too bad. I hope things can pan out soon for her. 12-22-13
