We R Making Memories

Sunday, September 23, 2012

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.

Jazz Game and the Sinks

Derick’s choir group had the privilege of singing the National Anthem at the Jazz vs. Suns game. What a neat experience for them. Plus it was a great game to watch.

The “Sinks” is a body of water near Leamington. We drove out there the other day to see how much water is there. Plus Derick is scoping it out for a date.

Millard Invitational

Austin’s Baptism

We got to go down to Las Vegas over Easter weekend to see Austin become the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints.

Track Season Has Begun

We love track season! The weather is warmer and we get to spend time outdoors. Derick is throwing the shotput, and his favorite, the Discus. He has been throwing around 130 during practices. He tends to get really nervous during meet though which can be super frustrating to him. Just one of those things that he has to figure out. He did take first this past week at the Millard Invitational.

Tyler's First Soccer Game EVER!

Tyler decided that he wanted to try soccer this year. So this is his first game. He did a great time for the first time I thought. I was a little worried because when I watched him at practice, he kept catching the ball. By the end of the game his knees were super sore but I think that will get better with time. There are only two teams so they will be playing the same team all season. It will be interesting to see how they improve with each game as they learn how the other team plays. His team consists of both girls and boys that he goes to school with. I'm excited to see more games.

Scrapbooking Weekend

I'm at a scrapbooking weekend with Lori up in Orem. I haven't got tons of layouts done, but I've had a great time and I'm accomplishing lots of different things. I've also been working on a new kit called "The Orient" I'm excited to get it done sot that I can scrap Kirk's Mission pictures with it. I have handrawn almost everything you see in this little sneak peak. I thinks it's going to be awesome!

Kaitlin had a clogging competition in Lehi a few weeks ago. Their team did two dances and took first in both of them. It's so fun to watch her clogg.

Jr. Prom

Derick took this adorable gal, Paige Johnson to their Jr Prom yesterday. They went with two other couples, Micael Bennett who took Alli Finlinson and Matt Coles took Brooke Finlinson.

They started the day off with a day date put on by the parents/school. It was sort of an “Amazing Race” competition between all the groups.

First off they did Minute to Win It games
Headed to the golf course where they had to putt balls in the hole
Off to the Shooting Range where they had to hit clay pigeons.
Next to the Bowling alley where two of them had to get strikes
Then they had to go to 7-11 and the girls had to all drink a 32 oz drink.
Next they had to get someone to for fill their car up with gas and wash their windows.
Then off to the Car wash were they had to flag someone down to wash their car.
And to the Grocery store, where they had to bags someones groceries and take them to their car.
They ended at the elementary school where they did an obstacle course.

They thought they did pretty good for the most part but ended up taking 4th place. To finish off their day date they went to the theater and watched a movie. After the movie, they took the girls home to get ready for the big night.

They then went to the Paladium where dinner was served. After dinner they introduced all of the Junior Class and did the Promenade. The Fathers danced with their daughter and after that the Mothers got to dance with their sons. What a beautiful evening.
