A Silly Mask

My crazy Jaden!

He came home from school and wore this funny face mask for a while.

It looks good on him, don't ya think? 😉

We are now in the swing of our school routine.

The weekends are nice to change things up a bit.

Not many new things are happening to report.

No news is good news, right?

But, life is good overall!

Family Visit

We loved having Jeni and her family visit on Friday.

Noah performed a magic show for them.

We also had fun visiting and catching up with each other.

And Cozette is as playful as ever, still nipping and running around in circles.

Murder at the Pie Auction

Tonight was the last night of our play, "Murder at the Pie Auction".

Each night was a great show with a live pie auction.

Pies sold for up to $32.00.

The money went to helping the museum.

Daddy, Joyanne and I had fun being in the play together.

Who knew that Daddy was such a great actor!

Jog-a-thon

The kids had a Jog-a-thon today with some fun games and activities to participate in.

Jaden and James ran about 3 miles around the back of the school.

They got a lot of treats!

Crazy, Cute Cozette!

I just love this cute, crazy puppy!

She's a lot of work, but a great companion.

She loves walks to the park, to play with her toys, and get treats for her training.

With a head cold coming on strong for me, she snuggled on the couch with me while we watched the show, "Heartland".

Happy Life

Life has taken on an incredibly busy pace since school started.

Joyanne is participating in like 59 million things, from plays, to violin lessons, to piano lessons, to hanging out with friends.

Noah's been busy with friends, piano lessons, and school projects.

Hiram loves being at the Intermediate School and having his own locker and switching classes; and also getting involved in scouting.

Jaden loves his LEAP days at Fielding Elementary for the gifted and talented.

He's almost earned his Bear in scouting.

James is learning lots of Spanish in his Spanish immersion class, and he's enjoying school.

Grant is starting to read, rides a bike without training wheels, and loves taking bike rides to play at the park.

Daddy and I are busy with play practice, fulfilling our scout callings, and working.

So, life is busy, but happy!

Mud Football

The Young Men and women in our ward have an annual mud football game.

This is one of those times Daddy enjoys working with the young men.

As you can see, Noah really got into it.

Joyanne got a bunch of mud dumped on her head and smothered into her hair.

I've never seen Joyanne and Noah so dirty.

Fun times!

Happy Birthday, Emilee!

We enjoyed spending the evening with you.
