Tennis

It was such a nice day that we went to the park to play tennis.  We aren't very good but we had a fun time playing around in the sunshine.  Courtney was a little bummed that she didn't do better.

  

Snow Canyon Game

We enjoy going to the high school basketball games.  The coaching staff is made up of 3 of our neighbors and so the majority of the neighborhood shows up to watch the games.  It's pretty fun.  Courtney's dance group would also be performing so we had a double reason to be there.

At the start of the game they announced that the Denver Nugget mascot would be at the game.  How random is that?!  The students had a lot of fun with him and he was all over the place.  A couple of time I think he ticked the refs off a bit but it was all in good fun.

At halftime it was time to watch Courtney dance.  She did a great job!

School Newspaper

This is the latest article Courtney has written for her school newspaper.

Rockin' Rad Reader!!

Courtney has been working on reading all the 2015-2016 Beehive Nominee books. There were about 8 picture books and 8 young adult novels. She finished her last one this morning and took a quiz on it. The school librarian gives them a tshirt, a dog tag and a bag of M&Ms. Courtney was pretty happy and I am so happy for all the work she has done!!

Date Night and Cookies

Bryan and I wanted to go to the Snow Canyon basketball game but the kids didn't want to go.  They decided to stay home and Ethan would babysit.  Before we left, they decided they wanted to make cookies...so they did!

Courtney took some cookies and they "doorbell ditched" our neighbors.  We didn't know they were going to do that at all.  Luckily they saw her running away so they knew the cookies were safe to eat.  They actually told me the cookies were very delicious!

Courtney's Wall

Courtney loves owls and so for Christmas we gave her 2 Beanie Baby owls, a vinyl tree and some floating shelves.  It has taken us a few weeks to finally get around to putting it all up but I think it turned out really great!

The idea is the that owls are supposed to look like they are sitting on the branches of the tree.  She loves it and that's all the counts!

Another one gone

On the way to dance Courtney told me another tooth was bugging her.  I told her to just pull it out, so she did!  This is her second tooth in as many days.  We were in the van on the way to dance and it was good that she took my phone to take selfie pictures because the tooth fell and she "lost my lost tooth!"  But the tooth fairy still came and gave her money.

Now her two spaces match!!
