clarification on the schedule

Ok I tried to have the time separated by tabs... it didn't work. So the first time is the Weber County Fairgrounds time... (Tuesday) and the second time is for the Central Davis Junior High games (Saturday)

Brenden's Schedule

Ok here are the two different schedules for Brenden's Basketball games.
There are nine kids on the team, and I think Brenden is doing well and starting really learn some great stuff. He needs to get some big muscles so he can box out and be a good rebounder. I love watching and talking with him. He is really interested in improving and tries to work on the different things he deems important for that game or practice. It is Great!

Whoooo

Yes I am happy. I made the comp team. We are in two divisions one our record is 0-2 the other is 2-0.

Regan and the Eggs!

Regan and Kyra are so much fun to watch and listen to. The other day they were playing with their friends and they decided to take a few dozen eggs outside and break them on the sidewalk. Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that. I explained that eggs are very expensive these days and that if we don't have eggs we can't make some of their favorite foods like pancakes, or bread. They said they were sorry and cleaned up their mess. A few days later I was taking the garbage out and noticed a new pile of eggs broken on the sidewalk. I was really angry but tried to be patient. I asked them about it and they told me that they did it again because they forgot they were expensive. Well I have never "grounded" my children before but I took them over to the calender and showed them today (Monday) and pointed to Saturday. I told them that they would not be allowed to play with friends (their favorite thing to do) till Saturday! I expected lots of crying and pouting but they said okay. A week or s0 later I was talking to my neighbor Melissa. Regan and Kyra like to go to her house and they usually tell her everything that goes on around our house. So of course they told her about the eggs. She told me that a few days earlier Regan came over and told Melissa that she had learned how to play a song on the piano. Melissa said Regan started looking around for a piano so she could play the song for her, but she didn't find one. Regan asked Melissa why some people don't have piano's at their house, Melissa said well some people don't have room for a piano or some people can't afford to buy a piano because piano's are very expensive. Regan looked down at the floor and said "oh yeah, so are eggs!".

This is our New dinning room! It's just off the kitchen so I can see right into this room which is also connected t0 the family Room. Way nice















And this is the Family Room































































This is my organizational wall. Each child has their own board to write and keep things for school.

Here's the front room which is not done yet. Kevin is working on the bookshelf!

Good Afternoon everyone;

I have been thinking and thinking that I need to write down this funny conversation so we don't forget it, and I am just going to do it right now so I don't procrastinate any longer.  

Tuesday evening we had a little FHE, 'cause Monday was really busy.  After our discussion we played a game with candy bars and dice... if you roll doubles you get to start opening the candy bar to eat it, and when someone else rolls doubles, you give it up to them, etc, etc....  The catch is you open the candy bar up with a knife and fork.  your fingers cannot touch the candy bar or wrapper.  Fun, eh?  

Well anyway, we were done with the game, and had a few candybars left over, so we asked church questions and if you got them right, you got to have a candy bar (without the knife or fork).  So when Kari got to Regan, she asked her to fill in the blank.  She said 

"Jesus wants me for a ... " 

and Regan replied with confidence... 

"a popcorn ball!"

It was really funny.  And we sure love her.  All our kids are growing up really fast.  It is tough.  we don't want them to grow so quickly, but it is exciting to see the things they do and the surprises that come up.  I love my family.  : - D

Great Day Yesterday!

Thanks to all those who came over yesterday.  It was a ton of fun!  I really had a great time and felt like it was a great experience (spiritually and socially)

Thanks guys!!
