CALEB'S HOMECOMING
Bright and early Sunday morning, we made our way up to Day Break for Caleb's homecoming. He did such a great job!! Such a difference from the talk he gave when he left. It was great, just a different Caleb :). He has changed a lot and talked a little about some of the changes he's made- it was a lot of fun to hear about and get excited to hear more- hopefully he actually comes over and spends some time with us :). It's so cool for our kids to have all these cousins doing these things that they will eventually have the choice to do- I hope they are soaking it all in :). We had to hurry back for my Cub Committee Meeting which went SO WELL!! I LOVED IT!! 1-14-18
BARBARA'S LESSON
Barbara did a great job on her lesson in Sharing time- about babies in the womb being alive and being children of God. I loved it! Minus the part about it making me a little baby hungry. Gotta do something about that. 1-14-18
NO SCHOOL- LONG WEEKEND
I LOVE days off from school! It's just such a treat! I got to work out with Erika AND Bradley and had everyone's company all day. We played games and actually did quite a bit outside- Brad, Noah and Erika rode their roller blades down to Maverick! Crazies. But with no snow and almost April temps, it was a fun time for them. Tuesday we went to the Airforce Museum with the Maughans and Clemenses. That was nice relaxing time as well. Played some Nintendo, had another Ping Pong Tournament. It was great weekend! I loved it and am not looking forward to going back to life. 1-16-18
A STICKY SITUATION
Wednesday night, Noah and I cracked down and finished up his science fair project. We had been working on it for at least a month, off and on, and needed to get his board all put together. It was actually a fairly enjoyable project with Noah. He knew what he was doing and knew how he wanted things. Made decisions and worked really hard. I helped him a little, typed a few things for him, and coached him on how to display it all, but for the most part, he did it on his own. I was really proud of him and very relieved that he was able to do most of it. He did such a great job. I got to go and help judge on Thursday and although I didn't get to judge Noah's board and presentation, I did get to hear about it from a few other people :). They had raving reviews. I think everyone's favorite part of his project was that he glued his board together with the Froot Loops that he discovered made a very good adhesive :). Funny boy. Kelly and her AP class got to come and judge as well and she got the same feedback I had. Then his 2nd place ribbon that night at the open house confirmed it all! He really did amazing. So proud of him!! 1-18-18
CLAIRE HANGOUT/ALL NIGHT PARTY
Claire came over Friday night for dinner and then to keep the four littles and I company while everyone else went to the All Night Party for the youth. I just love Claire. I really can't get enough of her and really enjoy talking with her. She is hilarious and so non-judging. Not to mention we just have so much to talk about! We could seriously talk for days I think. Before running out of stuff to say :). I was hoping for a sleepover, but the snow let up and the roads were actually fine for the most part, when she left. But it was a fun visit. She said some really nice things about me being a good "counselor" when we were in YW presidency together. She's awesome and I'm so grateful to call her my friend. She also gave us a cute puzzle of a picture of us!! So creative!! So thoughtful. Luke and I put it together the next day. I loved when Luke asked Molly "do you want a piece of me?" HA! The big four and Nate had a fun time at the party. Well, the kids did, Nate not so much. Which was a bummer because he was looking so forward to it. Not as fun as last year. 1-19-18
