Exciting News!!!



Cole was just accepted into the gifted/talented program in language arts.(Which is all they offer right now.) We only have a program for 4-5 graders right now.

It is now official, Katie is going to Denver in the punt, pass, kick competition. Unless we can switch it to San Francisco. But either way she is moving on. She is incredibly excited.

October update

Hello everyone,
It has been a busy October although November is looking even busier. YIKES!!! Here is an update on what we all have been doing.

Katie: I did really well in my Punt, Pass, Kick competition yesterday. At the local level I won 1st place with 77 points. Yesterday at the regional level I won 1st place with a score of 136.3. (Punt = 49'-1", Pass = 31'-2", Kick = 56'). I'm waiting to see if I move on to Denver. The NFL will send me a letter if I qualify. In basketball I am having fun and have scored in every game. I am practicing the piano and preparing for the next recital. I will be playing tarantula's twist.

Cole: I started competitive basketball this week and we played our first game on Saturday. I scored 6 points in our 22-17 victory. For Halloween I will be a Hobo. My costume is really cool. I will be playing "The Storm" at the piano recital. No girlfriend yet.

Connor: I ended my football season this month with 5 touchdowns. I ran for 1 touchdown and caught 4 passes for touchdowns. My longest was 67 yards. I went to scout camp last week and just completed the Gardening, Family Life and Personal Management merit badges. For the piano recital I will be playing "He's a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean. My basketball team is playing for the championship tomorrow night.

Andrew: Not much has happened for me really. I kept scoreboards for the 3-4th grade basketball league. Basketball tryouts are in 2 weeks so I need to get practicing so I can make the team. School has been off and on between hard and very hard. That's pretty much it for me. P.S. I want the sun to come back and for the rain to stop. I don't want snow either. ☼☼☼☼=☺☺☺☺

Layne: I worked. I watched my children play sports. I survived scout camp. I fulfilled my calling in church (spouse of the Primary President) by teaching impromtu lessons twice this month. Life is great.

Julie: Work is great. I love hearing the funny things kids say. For example a little boy in the 1st grade class I work with said, "My hair is spicy." He meant spiky. I had to laugh to myself. Primary is going well. We are all healthy and happy. I love following my kids around and watching them in their sports and other activities. Life is good and we are very blessed.
