"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Journaling from the Kids

KELLY:
Journaling  Kellys Maynes  1-7-17 [but it was actually the 8th :)]
Station Park with Charity and Erika

We left around 5:45 to go to station park Because mom gave us a gift card to Cinemark and one to Claire's and 40$ to go to any restaurant we wanted.  This was our Christmas gift :).  I have to say that I'm really glad mom and dad made me wear a coat because it was soooo cold!  So dad dropped us off near Cinemark so we could hurry and get our tickets.  Our movie started @7:30 so we had about an hour and a half to eat and go to Claire's.  We had all agreed to go to Panda Express for dinner.  It was SOOO good!!  We all got pretty much the same thing- Orange chicken and rice- then I got an egg roll and charity got some honey walnut shrimp.  I stuffed myself to the brim so I wouldn't be hungry during the movie.  Then after we enjoyed our food.  we had to walk back in 9 degrees on ice back over to Claire's which was like right next to Cinemark.  I only slipped about a million times!  And had a wonderful audience to laugh at me (Erika and Charity).  While we were at Claire's we spend like 15 minutes just looking around then we realized that we only had like 10 minutes until the movie so we hurried and picked out something we liked.  Shopping when I feel rushed is so hard and I take 10 times longer.  I picked out 4 headbands, Charity got an eyelash curler and a notebook and Erika picked out an adorable baby penguin stuffed animal and a best friend key chain.  We went at the perfect time because everything was buy 3 get 3 free!  Then we hurried over to the movie theater.  We all got our popcorn and treats.  We had the best spots by the balcony!  And I absolutely LVOED the movie!  It was called "SING" and it was HILARIOUS!  Then we walked all the way over to harmons.  Slipping on the ice again!  We bought some hot chocolate and waited for mom to come get us.  It was a total blast!!

On Monday, I was able to hang out with my best friend from Bountiful that i hadn't seen in like 2 years!  We both thought it was going to be super akward but it really wasn't!  We both acted pretty much the same.  It was really fun catching up and looking back on fun memories.  Then Anna Belle had the idea to go to a movie!  So we hopped into their car and drove over to the Megaplex theater.  Anna Belle was really nice and bought me a ticket, popcorn and a drink because seh's "rich" (inside joke :) )  We saw this rom-com called "La La Land" which I absolutely loved!  It was really fun to catch up with her again because I've really missed havin ga best friend!  I love Anna Belle!  she's so much fun to be around and talk with.

BRADLEY:
Last week we had a day w/ a late start  It was so fun.  I played In the snow and got freezing cold.
This Saturday was my frist b-ball game  It was so fun.  I scored about 15 points and got like 8 steals and 7 assists.  It was exhausting.  We won 38 to 35.  This season is going to be exciting.

So for Christmas, Kelly, Erika nad I got a giftcard to Cinemark, dinner and Claire's.  We went on 1/6 and it was so much fun!  We left around 5:30 and ate dinner @ Panda Express.  Then we went to Claire's.  It was so fun to spend time together and be ourselves.  We each got something and then headed over to the movie SING! and got our popcorn and treats.  The movie was SO cute!  We all had a lot of fun.  Then we headed over to Harmons to get hot cocoa.  On the way there, we kept slipping and sliding on the ice.  It was a blast!  I loved spending that time together and learing more about each other.

JACK
Jack's latest thing is to color little scribblings of each color he can get his hands on.  Looks like a test paper for a box of crayons- kinda strange, but I gave him such a good reaction the first time, he's just stuck with it :).  When you find a winner :).  So he made a few of those this same night and I will try to get pictures of them to post in here.  Cute boy.
