NFL Game

Jocey had her first college volleyball tournament in Lamar, Co the same weekend the Steelers played the Broncos. Jared was a little excited to say the least and lucky for us we found tickets, happened to be going back home through Denver, Jocey was still with us and my teaching partner Sha'Nell said she would teach for me that following Monday so we could stay and attend the game. Fun experience that was for sure but that experience meant for a LONG driving night. Jocey had to be back at Rock Springs for 7:00 weights Monday morning. We left Denver Sunday night around 10:00 and arrived in Rock Springs at 4:30 in the morning.... We also spent a day in Denver shopping at the 16th Street Mall (piano photo) and traveled into Kansas. It was a fun-filled five days.

First Day of School for four of us.

All of us, including me started school on the same day. More ironic than that is Jocey started college classes that same day and Jordon entered his new first mission area that day too. Lots of new starts!

Spelling Fun

A new school year which always means nightly homework. I realize that I am a teacher but as a parent I think it stinks and takes to much of family time, but it has to be done. Braxton reminded me that he needed to study for his spelling test and we had already spent an hour doing his other homework so studying wasn't what he wanted to do. I decided to take out some shaving cream and make it fun...it worked he loved it and we went over his spelling words three times. Bayli also wanted to join in so she worked on spelling with us. This activity actually made our "studying" fun and not a fight before they went to bed. Not to mention they looked cute writing their words.
