Wow, it has been a long time

I really need to update this more. Maybe once I graduate. Speaking of graduation... April 22, 2010 I will unofficially graduate. Technically I graduate in December, but we only do the cap/gown thing once a year in the spring. So it's now or never.

School is going well. I'm exhausted. Level III is kicking my butt. I'm lost, dazed and confused as to what's due when. I start practicum next week and hope to get everything caught up soon. Alot is due tomorrow through Wednesday.

Thomas is having a great freshman year. He was on the sophomore football team and Jr. Varsity Wrestling team. He took 8th in regions and DNP in divisionals. He's been working hard to make Varsity next year. He also earned a Wrestling Letter. This last week he got braces, and he has a girlfriend. She's adorable!

Julia is doing great at Excelsior, the charter school. She is getting As (mostly) and learning a lot. She has a great debate teacher and is excelling at playing the clarinet. She's first chair and earned second chair at the Salt Lake Charter School Honor Band.

Byron is also working hard at Excelsior. He is playing the trombone and is 4th chair in the Honor Band. He has found a new love, the Rubik's Cube. He's pretty awesome at it.

Kat is giving her kindergarten teacher a run for his money. She's stubborn, that child. We love her. She has a great sense of humor and is always keeping us on our toes.

Football season is starting again, this time we are running the league. I am coaching Kat, Julia, and Thomas (in addition to my school work). Is it too much? Probably, but what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right?

I'll be sure to attach pictures soon... (I hope)

She works hard for her money!

It's been a while... school, kids, work, football... it's a busy life. It was that time again, Ft. Bridger Mountain Man Rendezvous held every Labor Day weekend in Fort Bridger Wyoming. Here's the story of the year this year.

Kat Works Hard For Her Money!

On our first day in Fort Bridger, we were listening to a harpist play. It was beautiful. Kat took a dollar and put it in his hat.

Fast forward to day two. As we were parked by the guardhouse resting, she decided to "make some dollars". Kat got out her harmonica box, opened it up and started playing for the crowd. Mommy paid her a dollar for her great musician skills, so for the rest of the day, she walked around with her harmonica in her mouth and her box in her hand.

She's gonna make us a fortune someday!

We are the Champions my friends...

Way to go 49ers. We started our game out strong. By half time it was 44-18 with us in the lead then a storm came through to end all storms. With 8 minutes left we had to evacuate the field for lightening strikes. The Cowboy coach didn't want to concede victory to us, so we met on Wednesday to finalize our victory. On their first play they got all excited by scoring a touchdown. My QB slowed it down some to run out the clock and got us one right back. At that point there was nothing left to do but wait. The 8 minutes passed and we won 54-26. After that, we ate ice cream sandwiches. YUM!

Go 49ers!

So, we beat the Raiders 55-30. It was a great game, my team executed very well. We're on to the Championship game on 5/30 against the Cowboys. We will be victorious! (to be continued...)

Awesome Season...

The 49ers have entered the semi-finals winning 7 and losing only 2. They get to play my husband's team, the Raiders, in the semi-finals. The Raiders have won 3 and lost 5. It should be an awesome game as we all practice together. I'm pretty excited. The winner of this game is in the championship!!!
