I have been so incredibly busy the last month. It has always been very busy time of year for us. Royd is busy with all of the sporting events he needs to organize. The kids have all of their extra curricular going on. And now I have started my masters classes, which makes time a huge issue at our house. I feel very lucky to live where we live. Everyone is going a hundred miles per hour in all different directions, but we can manage because we live in walking distance of most places we need to get to. The kids have been so good to make sure they are where they need to be with out a lot of help from their missing parents. Here is a little snapshot of what they have been up to lately.
Quade had the honor of being invited to join the Southern Utah Honor Band. This is a huge big deal. He did an awesome job I was very proud of him. He was a little nervous because all the kids in the band were so good. He felt a little intimidated. I had to remind him that they got the same invitation they did, and he earned his way there.
Taya is our little dancer. She has been performing at the basketball games at half time. Unfortunately, I was unable to make most of her performances. Others have told me what a good job she does, and how adorable she is. She also was able to participate in the school talent show. She had her first "REAL" babysitting job. Her"clients" were very pleased and are going to call her again when they need a babysitter.
Dace had a birthday! He is 6 years old. He had a huge party. We invited 10 rambunctious 5-6 year old boys. I don't think my house will ever be the same. Taya had all sorts of games planned for the bunch. They played freeze dance (Dace's favorite). They tied balloons to their ankles and tried to pop
others balloons. Upstairs Taya had set up centers. They rotated between, Bey-Blades, video games, and cupcake decorating. It was probably one of the longest hours of my life. Taya set a up a spanking machine, but Dace wasn't going to do it. It stop all of his friends going in for him. He opened presents. I took all of them home, and took a nap.
In December Quade was ordained a Teacher. He also has finnished all of the requirments for his Eagle. He is waiting for the paperwork to get back. He will be having his court with his cousin Jeremy as soon as it is official.
Dace is quite the artisist. Below his recent work titled "3 Snowmen". I am terrible at keeping this sort of stuff. I though this would be a good way to keep them, and show them off.
This next peice really did catch my heart.
The 5th-6th grade Valentines Dance is one of my favorite day's of the year. This is Reese's last year to participate. No more dance's untill he is 14. The kids learn and practice dancing for about a week, then get dressed up and party on Velentines Day. Reese's favorite dance was the Jitter Bug.
That is what we have been up to lately.
