Whatta fabu-lous-soooo summer we had!!! Hence the absence of blogging! We went and did a ton of stuff, we enjoyed nature, we enjoyed friends and family, we stayed up late and woke up later. This summer meant a lot to me, and I think to my kiddos. Now we are back to reality of life. And school! The kids are ALL doing good, which has been a big relief to me. They have wonderful teachers, and friends. SO life is good at the moment! :)

My Man-Tastic Little Guy!




Ok-I know that I am crazy about these kids of mine. But my little guy Nate is truly one of my heroes. He just earned his wolf in his cub scouts. He has enough for his bear award but isn't old enough yet. But that said he has been a go-getter with this scout stuff. He always wants to work on his book and I am VERY proud of his dedication. My kiddo's started soccer this week. All in all not bad, I did however get in a lttle tussel with Nate's coach the 1st game. He was screaming at these little guys. This is rec ball not a competitive league. We were told at the orientaion that this is to get kids exposed to the sport and encourage good sportsmanship. Well with the coach screamming at them the whole time-anytime the ball got away from them or if they missed kicking a goal-I had had enough so I told him to knock it off and help the kids not scream at them. He was VERY avended by this. So I may need to change Nate's team. I do feel bad because I didn't mean to cause such problems. but I did, so hopefully I can make it right becacuse Nate loves this sport and he is good at it. Live and Learn!

What a Relief!




Well I made it!!!!It was a very LONG two days BUT it was a huge success! We had a much better turnout than expected and everyone that came had a great time! Jo, our school principle, thinks that we need to do this every year, as a way to strength our community. Lot's people came out from my ward and stake and I appreciate their support. A lot of people didn't give this a fair shot, but the ones that did are the ones who care about making our area into a community. Here are a few photo's. Again Thanks to everyone who supported this event! The winners in this, are the kids!

The Insanity!

Well we are down to the wire!! Tomorrow all my blood, sweat and tears will be done. Our PTA has been working since last April to put together our fundraiser. A 5k and carnival. Unfortunately we didn't make as much money as I had hoped, but it is not from lack of work on our part. We had many things working against us. BUT if you focus on what we did do it is pretty incredible. I think everyone who comes out will have a fabulous time. The kids are so excited and they have had fun promoting it and talking about it so I couldn't be happier! I will let ya all know what comes of tomorrow and have some photo's! I will keep you posted!@!!

Big Buddah!



The long awaited day came. It was really awesome. We had a ton of kids show up, which was quite amazing considering we had to have them there at 6:00am!! Yes that is just an assault on everyone. But none the less they were little troopers and I hope they had a good time. We tried to give Big Buddah one of our PTA shirts, we had a 3XL for him. No way, he is a 5XL. So we gave hime the shirt but not on the air. Anyways here are some fun photo's!

TV Fun!



On Friday we got to go to GOOD THINGS UTAH! Nate, Jake and Brenda had the opportunity to appear on the show to promote our school's Hero program and our school's 5k fundraiser. Everyone did a fantastic job. I appreciate them all being so willing to do that. There is no way I could have gone on with my speech problems. So Thanks you guys!
