Homecoming Dance

Derick asked Brooke to homecoming by wrapping a big candy bar with paper and a Willy Wonka label on it.  Inside the wrapper was a Golden Ticket.  Derick wrote on it asking her to the dance.  He then had Willy Wonka  give her the bar and Mike TeaVee  gave her a kiss on the cheek saying, “that was from Derick”.  Brooke then answered him back with this:

Brooke is Golda with Derick as Tevye, in the upcoming play “Fiddler on the roof”.

They started their day off with a day date of “Chopped”.  Each team drew a number and that was the bag that they got. 

Bag 1:

Ground Beef

Ranch Dressing mix

Dinner Rolls

Bag 2:

Marinara Sauce

Can of Biscuits

String Cheese

Bag 3:

Wonton wraps

Cream Cheese

Raspberry Pie filling

Then they all went to the store with a $10.00 budget to get anything else they wanted for their items.

Surprisingly, they all did excellent.  I got to taste test everthing.

Derick had a great time on the date.  The only thing he would have changed was that there were more slow songs played.

Willy Wonka the Musical

In July, Derick, as one of his Sterling Scholar projects took on the task of directing a children’s theater.  So he picked a play, held auditions, selected parts and then directed almost 50 kids from 8-14 years old.  I was a lot of work and he put in hours upon hours directing and making sets, with the help of a few other students and his Family of course.  Then on September  14 & 15 the cast performed it for the community.  It was awesome!!!!  To everyone’s surprise, there was a packed auditorium.  He will be donating what he earned minus expenses to the Schools Drama and Music department.

Football Season!

Tyler has been playing on the Delta Highschool Freshman team.  He plays both D-end and Center.  He does a great job too!  Unfortunately most of the schools that they have played don’t have a Freshman  team so they end up playing their Juniors and Sophomores.   They really have a good team and do a good job.  So far they have won 1.  But win or loose, I love being able to be there for each and every one of his games.  Rain or shine.  He started the season out as 66 now he is 89. 

 

Here is a link of him play center against Richfield.

The blessings of the Temple

In July, we had the privilege of doing my Grandma’s temple work.  Kaitlin was able to be baptized for her by my Dad and then Lori, Brett, Andrea and I were able to do her other temple ordinances ending with sealing her to my Grandpa and Grandma BB.  What a wonderful day.

Church History Trip

I’ve been putting of posting these pictures until I had the whole trip done but I haven’t had the time to get the others done.  So I will share the couple that I do have done.

 

To start of with, my wonderful parents took all of us kids and our children on a church history trip to Missouri and Illinois areas.  We drove out in three cars and met Kirk, Sean, Brett, Andrea and Jaron in Missouri.  We had a good time driving out there with the kids despite a horrible dust storm just before  we got to Colorado.

I may fix the order later to be accurate, but this is a layout that I did of our visit to Adam-Ondi-Ahman.  What a beautiful/sacred place.  I really loved the feeling that I felt there as we walked around.
