PRIMARY PROGRAM
I LOOOOOOOOVE the Primary Program. Did I get the point across with all the O's? I really do just love it! It's my favorite Sunday. My kids did so well on their parts too, made it that much more enjoyable! I always stress for them when they get nervous. Cute Erika did her part with Kelly's help- that was sweet- I was pleasantly surprised :). She did have a sad little moment when she asked her teacher if she could go down from the stage (not mentioning she needed to go potty), he told her, "I think we're supposed to stay up here." So she just sat up there, suffering with a full bladder. She started crying and luckily Nate saw her and rescued her. She was so cute about it. I felt bad for her teacher, I think he felt bad, but really, she didn't tell him what she needed to do. I know he would have let her come down if he'd known :). While Nate was taking her to the bathroom, he missed seeing Luke's part and that was a bummer, but other than THAT... it was perfect :). I loved it. Poor Charity felt left out, but it was fun for her to watch. Jack had a total blasty blast (letting my inner Steve out) waving and saying "Hiiii" to all of his cute siblings. They were all so happy to see him waving and waved back, I'm sure we were very distracting :). I loved it. Can I say it again? I loved it! 11-9-14
SEP'S
Parent/Teacher conferences were excellent this time! I have always loved SEP's, but this one was extra special. I really couldn't get enough of it. I was pretty proud of myself to be able to schedule all of the appointments back to back, so we spent a good hour and a half at the school, running from room to room and destroying the hallways. My kids got so many nice compliments from their teachers! It was so nice. I know they are good kids, but it's nice to hear that someone else knows it too ;). It's also nice to think that they get some credit for their hard work and self-discipline. Bradley was first, his teacher let us go in early, first thing she said was, "This is really cool kid you have here!" She kept saying nice things about him the whole time, pointing out all of his 3's on his report card, no missing work, good at making friends, it was so wonderful :). Kelly's teacher let us go in early as well (we were totally ahead of schedule, it was funny), she said, "I feel like I'm wasting your time, having you come, but I"m really happy to tell you how much I love Kelly!" Awwwww. And Kelly loves her to pieces, so the feeling is of course, mutual. We got to see how well Kelly is doing, no missing work, typing 55 wpm (doesn't need to take it in 7th grade!), she wants her to aim for the Presidential Gold award! So cool. And I just love Mrs. Williams. She has quickly become one of my favorite teachers. Right up there with Mrs. Ashliman, and Mrs. Nyholm. Luke's teacher was not busy as well, let us come in early, and we spent the entire time (up until our last appointment) in her room :). Talking about how amazing Luke is. His scores on Think Thru Math, how well-behaved he is, his reading scores, the math! It was a blast! She had games and treats for all the other kids too, so there was nothing stopping us from staying WAY longer than we should have :). She sat us down at the computer to look at Think Thru Math, she is so fun! I just love her! She's one of my new favorites too. She has motivated Luke in ways I didn't think possible. I owe her big time. Noah's was really great too!! Mrs. Horning had wonderful things to say about him and let us know that he is doing fantastic on all levels. He is reading well above the benchmark, and has been recommended by the district, because of his SAGE test results, that he should test for Spectrum. Pretty cool. It was fun to watch Noah talking so openly with his teacher. He seemed like a big kid. They are all so smart and such good readers. It's amazing. I give all the credit to scripture reading every night. That is the only explanation. Everyone wants to give me credit, which makes sense, but it is SO not me. I feel very blessed to have such good kids, and very blessed to have the tools that Heavenly Father has given us, like scriptures, to raise our children in His way. We couldn't be where we are without them! 11-13-14
SEALINGS
Nate and I got to go with our ward to do Sealings. It was amazing. The Spirit carried me through the rest of my week. 11-13-14
HEIDI
I was privileged to be Heidi's escort when she went to the Draper Temple to receive her endowment. What a special experience that was! I had such a great time. I loved being there with Heidi for her big day. Simon treated us all to China Town Buffet afterwards, good times. 11-14-14
BRIDALS
Charity, Kelly and I got to go with Heidi, Mom, Brent and Sarah to the State Capitol building for Heidi's bridals! It was a lot of fun. The girls enjoyed carrying Heidi's dress around and we all took turns holding up the flash/umbrella set up. It was a lot of fun. Heidi is way too photogenic! She looked gorgeous! I was relieved to see her dress turned out just fine! That was a lot of fun. 11-15-14
BASKETBALL
Noah's first game was Saturday. He was so excited! And so happy to have something of his own to look forward to! It was fun to listen to the kids all cheering for him when I showed up a few minutes late from Heidi's Bridals. He sure has fun out there. It's fun to watch Nate coaching too. They're a good team! Noah says the score was "20 something to four", but they don't technically take score, so.... who's counting :). 11-15-14
ADULT SESSION
Charity and all the Young Women in the Stake were invited to sing in the adult session of Stake Conference. I canNOT get enough of that song. It is so beautiful and carries such a powerful Spirit. I still get chills EVERY TIME I hear that song! And I've heard it a LOT!! More than I should to still be even enjoying, much less getting chills. It's such a cool song. I guess I should say what song it is :). It was our camp song, and the Youth theme song for the year, "Come Unto Christ". This was a perfect song for the theme. I'm so glad I got to experience it. The meeting was great too! I loved our "Bishop's Welfare Meeting" that we got to be part of :). Feels like we're trying to get closer to the Law of Consecration. Interesting. 11-15-14
