Our Week

Bella was sick off and on.

Sammi and I’s “Floating Egg” experiment.  She was also able to finally have a friend over that she has wanted to come over forever!  Yeah!

Practicing piano and doing homework

Yeah for Fall candy showing up at the stores!  Playing train

Happy girls

Coloring and looking at the iPad with Daddy

Lizzy finished her first chapter book!!!  So proud of her!  Daddy’s new CPAP machine.

Jumping

Sammi’s cake she made in YW                        Joy in therapy!

5th Grade Strings started this week!  Becca is a student assistant/teacher-y person.  Jessi loves that she gets included hanging out with the Director and assistants after Orchestra.  It makes her feel so big and special!

Sammi is loving all of the fruit available right now.  My garden is very happy.  I have gotten more cherry tomatoes in the past week than all summer long!

Joy loves that hat!

Sweet girls

Busy Becca – she spent six hours on Saturday helping the Orchestra directors make name cards for all of the 5th Grade String players (about 200 of them).  Orchestra is her life right now.                                                   

The girls headed out for a bike ride.

We decorated for Halloween.        Holding the beautiful Bell

Conference morning picnic                         Watching Conference

Jason and the girls painted these fun decorations.  They chopped down the bushes next to our house.  They died in the drought.

A piano duet.                                               So cute and ready for Halloween

On Friday Sammi spent the day and evening with the Homeschool Teens.  They went to a no kill animal shelter and volunteered a few hours (Sammi loved that!), then they went to the Temple.  They had dinner and then some leadership training, followed by dessert.  She had a great day!

 

Monday night we all (minus Bella) went to Becca’s Fall Concert. 

Right now Becca’s life is Orchestra.  On Monday she goes to Frank Elementary School to help with their 5th Grade Strings program.  On Tuesday she has rehearsal after school and then her private lessons.  On Thursday she helps out with 5th Grade Strings at Theiss (the program Jessi is in).

Can you guess what she wants to be right now?  An Orchestra Director.  She is looking at SHSU at the moment.

Fridays she has reserved as pizza night.  Well, if throwing $20 at Domino’s keeps my baby home one night a week, I’m all for it! 

This Friday Jessi started her Cello lessons and Lizzy had a birthday party.

Oh, one thing I haven’t blogged about…we have a dedicated volleyball player in this house.  For the past few Thursday nights this individual has faithfully gone out in the evening to play volleyball.  I am proud and a little surprised to discover this side of this individual.  Who would have thought Jason loved v-ball so much?

Two of the songs played at the concert – remember I was filming and holding a 4 year old who was done during this, so sorry if it wobbles!

Handed the camera to Daddy at this point!
