Busy week, even though we only had school for 4 days. Having a long weekend is always a bonus, but it sure was busy! Homecoming was this week. Scholar's bowl, basketball, power lifting meet, meetings and life in general. Lots going on. Take a look at our week. . .
Sundays are our family days. We spend a lot of time together and enjoy playing games. Today we played the card game Bold which Mr J got for Christmas.
No school today, so I took the kids to lunch at a new place that has savory and sweet crepes. They were Divine! Mr J honestly did enjoy his, despite the picture :) Teenage boys are not always the best at being in pictures....:)P
Tried out a new recipe this week--chocolate marshmallow cookies. They were good, but a lot of work.
New Beginnings program at church Wednesday night and Miss E was the pianist. She did a great job.
Miss E loves ballet and when she saw (2 years ago) that the Russian National Ballet was going to do Swan Lake in the City, she begged and begged for tickets to go. Ben also loves Ballet and served a 2 year mission for our church The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was 19 in Moscow, Russia. He was able to see several Russian ballets while he was there, so these two headed off to the city right after school one day this week and got home really late, but they said it was amazing!!! So glad they got to go!
A new thing for Miss E this year is being on the power lifting team. She is in a weight lifting class at school, and her teacher convinced her to participate on the team. We have never done anything like this before. She competed in 3 events at the meet--bench, clings, and squats. She got 5th place overall for her weight class. It was intense! I was proud of her for trying something new. She really, really enjoyed it. It is a short season with just a few more meets and then state, so we will see how it goes for her. Always cool to try something new!
And after the power lifting meet, she drove (2 hours) home and she got ready for the homecoming dance! Busy day! She looks beautiful and had a fun time!
Thanks for visiting! Hope you are well and have a great week!
What a busy week but so much goodness! Tell me about teenage boys and pictures--it's challenging to say the least. Those cookies look amazing and I love that Ben and Miss E got to go to the ballet together. Justin is taking his second weights class in school and loves it but we don't have any power lift teams. It sounds like something he would like and good for her for trying it. Such a pretty homecoming dress.
ReplyDeleteGAH! I feel like it's only been a few weeks since I haven't read blogs, but it's obviously been way longer than that b/c I can't believe how grown up Mr J looks! He's changed so much in a few months. :)
