Snow in October

Today has been nothing but snow, we are expected to get up to 6". Needless to say, I am not very excited about it, but the kids are thrilled.

Bike Ride with Dad

On Saturday, Dad took Caleb and Kallen to our local outdoor hiking trails with their bikes for a fun, adventurous, and scenic bike ride.  The boys had a great time and keep asking to go back.  

Carving Pumpkins

Last night we joined a few of our friends for dinner and pumpkin carving fun.  The kids did the hard job, of cleaning out the pumpkins, picking out patterns, pocking/tracing the patterns on the pumpkins, and even helped us carve them.  They turned out really good, unfortunately, I never captured a picture of them holding their pumpkins.  

Caleb is "Student of the Month"

In the last chapel of each month the teachers pick a child in their class that represent a  "Student of Great Character" for that month.  This month's word was, "FRIENDSHIP" and Caleb was chosen for his class. His teacher spoke about how he is kind and inclusive to all his classmates.  We were so proud of him!

Burning Furniture

One of our first pieces of furniture finally hit its end.  We decided today that the best way to get rid of it was to burn it to pieces.

Ian is VIP

This week VIP (Very Important Person) started in Ian's class.  Every Monday and Friday his teacher picks a child to be the VIP for that day.  The teacher picks one student who has shown great character and they get to spend the day sitting at the special table using the special markers and toys.  Ian was chosen yesterday and he felt really special as he should.  So proud of him!

Legacy Volleyball

With school being in session, so are fall sports.   Elyse started volleyball again and has grown to love the sport more this year than even last.  I too love the game, so couldn't be more excited.  She had a week of pretty hard tryouts and ended up mak

ing middle school JV squad, and we were so excited for her!  Their team had its first game last night, and unfortunately, they lost 2-1, but I couldn't be more proud of how well she played, and her positive attitude!
