Awesomeness

My kids are loaded with awesomeness.  They are doing so well in their lives at the moment.  Jacob won his flag football championship on Wednesday night.  They have only lost two games the entire season and kept pushing forward even when their coach got sick and wasn't able to attend the last couple of games.  A couple of the other teams got really frustrated with them to and would talk smack but these boys just played their own game and ignored it.  I am so proud of him! 

 

Jacob is in the middle of the pack here.  Last night he had his Fall Orchestra concert.  Alan went and said they did really well.  He is coming along with his cello and we are so glad he has stuck with it all these years. 

Daniel is doing awesome in his homeschool program.  We love the flexibility to just get up and go check out something that has to do with whatever lesson he is on.  We were passing by the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City the other day and the kids yelled, "Stop Mom, let's check it out!". So I stopped and because they were almost ready to close we got to go in for freeeeee!  I love free and they had a blast.  It is a really cool museum.  It was really awesome because they had real life examples of stuff Daniel had just learned.  I love homeschool.    I have some pictures on my phone I will have to add later.  

Sarah has been practicing for the upcoming Christmas play at her school.  She is a snowflake and I can't wait to see her in it.  She was really happy she got to have a named part this year instead of "being stuck in the chorus" as she puts it.  I love that she has gotten braver as she has gotten older.  She wants to learn how to clog now!  It cracks me up!  I love it though and because we are in Utah, they have clogging classes!  

Alan and I are coming up on our 20th wedding anniversary and can't believe that much time has passed.  We are excited to go to the Salt Lake Temple finally and have a good steak dinner.  Our grand desires for extravagant celebrations went away when we had children and got a mortgage.  We figure when they all leave home we'll worry about traveling to exotic places.  

I have more pictures on my camera but the batteries just went dead.  Oh well, I'll have to add them later....always later!
