Our lives seem to be overtaken by a small ball. I start to wonder how something so small can have such power over a family. Luckily we are coming to the end of it. 4 games to go. Tomorrow should be kind of nice weather for it even. Then it's supposed to be back to brrrr.
Jacob and Reid are getting ready for their piano recital. It will be on Sunday the 4th. This is the first for them. Jacob is very ready, but Reid,?? hopefully he'll get his songs memorized by then.
Tanner and Blake started practices for the "Cultural Celebration" this last week. They practice every Wed. night till the performance in August prior to the temple dedication. They can either dance or sing. There is supposedly a 3rd option they are hoping for, lighting crew. I think there will be 2,000 boys lined up for that position. Oh well, they can dream. They say Pres. Monson will be there if he can, that would be cool.
Blake had his track meet Thursday. He didn't do as well as the week before. He said he was too cold to run. Funny, I remember dad telling him to take another jacket. He has only worn long pants ONE time this whole school year. He claims he never gets cold. He makes me cold most days just looking at him, especially at soccer games.
While Blake was freezing at track, the rest of us were at Jacob's Arrow
of Light ceremony. Good Job Jacob! He's been working hard to get this award for cub scouts. He's very glad, though to be in Boy Scouts now.
We are putting a bathroom in downstairs. Someday it will be nice for visitors. Right now, it's just a couple holes in the ground and 2x4's all over. We are really hoping to have this done before you come in August, mom and dad. Chad says it will be done long before then. We'll see. :)
Blake had a big project in science he did yesterday. All the 7th graders make an insect. We stressed a little when Tanner did it, but now we are old hats at this. If only he didn't decide to wait till 3 days before it was due to start it. It's a velvet ant. I'll try to post a picture of it. Turned out pretty cool.
Today, we were able to go back to the ward we moved out of 3 years ago. It felt like we went back home. The members there are so amazing. We went to see our old babysitter's homecoming report. Amazing how people grow up.
