Musical Theatre

Carol and Lucy have been doing musical theater this school year. They had a performance and it was great! Cole and Collin are doing it as well. Juliette wasn't old enough to be in it and Major was too busy with sports. Carol wants to do a solo for the next performance.

Sports

All the years of watching Major play sports are finally paying off. His basketball team this year is awesome! They have won both their games and are a very talented team. Everything is finally clicking and Major has been quite the scoring machine! The games are so exciting! Soccer was exciting too! I actually watch the games and enjoy it!

New Babies

We are lucky to have 4 new baby boys this year. Liz had little William. I got to come over and visit them in San Diego. It was so fun to just sit around and hold him and talk! He is so cute! I just loved his little hat! We enjoyed fat little Beck for Thanksgiving! He is so cute! He was such a good sport with letting us hug him! He didn't even mind when little kids held him. He is such a happy baby! Now I just need to hold Hank and George, the twins. I'm loving all these babies that don't keep me awake at night!

Mom's Birthday Party

My mom had the most fun birthday party. It was with extended family that we don't see often. We had a huge pot luck and an awesome D.J.

Carol, Clint and Major sang "Dust in the Wind."Mom and dad impressed us with their jitterbug.
The kids loved doing line dancing! It was so much fun!

The Priesthood -

Today Clint got a new calling. He is the 2nd councilor in the Bishopric. We are happy for him, but sad to not get to sit by him at church any more. When he went to sit on the stand, Carol pointed out that our family didn't take much room on the bench. She sadly said, "we are so small now." We will be even smaller in January when Major can help with the sacrament. But at least that isn't for the whole meeting!

Last Day of Fall Break

Today we visited Superstition Farm. Carol has been volunteering there every Saturday for the last month or so. She loves working with the animals. The owners are glad to have her and tell me that she is a great worker. The kids loved feeding the animals and taking a hayride and learning about the cows. Carol enjoys working at the milk bar. She stirs in the flavors of what people order - lime, chocolate, strawberry, grape, peach, butterscotch, pistachio, orange, cherry, banana, melon and raspberry. Carol knew all 12 flavors! That evening we visited their ice cream store in Gilbert called Udder Delights and had some delicious ice cream.

Day 5 of Fall Break

Today Major and Lucy went ice skating. I couldn't talk Carol and Juliette into trying, so we all just sat and froze to death! Major and Lucy loved it and did really well. fterwards we found a park and sat in the sun until we thawed! It took me the longest to get warm! That is why I live in Arizona!
