Honor Roll Girl

Courtney made the honor roll again this past quarter!  Yeah!  She got a certificate and a rice crispy treat.  Score!

Young Women Recognition Award

Courtney worked hard and with the December deadline looming, she finished her Young Women Recognition Award!  I was so happy for her.  Our previous bishop made the young women bear their testimonies but our new bishop doesn't do that.  They tried to get her to stand up in Sacrament Meeting but she wasn't having any of that!  She just turned bright red and tried to sink down in the pew. I am so happy for her and the work she did on her award.

I loved putting her name on the plaque in the hallway of the Stake Center!

Dancing

Ethan started doing a little dance and Courtney couldn't resist joining in.  I took a video but I won't post it.  These kids are hilarious and I love their personalities!

The dance involved bobbing from side to side while clapping and turning around once in a while.  He's getting his moves on for Junior Prom this week. haha!

Birthday!

It was my birthday!!!  I got a Texas donut and a granola/strawberry parfait.  It was perfect!

My parents took us to dinner, so that was really nice.  It was a good, relaxing birthday.

He-Man

Ethan likes to see how many grocery bags he can carry at one time.  This time he got all but one bag of the weekly groceries in ONE TRIP (Courtney took the eggs in)!

Just call him He-Man!

Back to School

You can tell when it's back to school time for Ethan....he gets another swag bag from Dixie State.  This year it has a tshirt in it, but I don't know if he has even opened it so he may not know that.

Gray

Did you know that it is super difficult to find a plain gray color?!

These are all gray:

 That, my friends, is why you test paint before you paint an entire wall.  The color I thought I would really like is actually the green on the bottom!  We decided to paint the ceiling, doors and baseboards in our bedroom/bathroom/closet, the white and then the walls the gray that is to the left and below the white.

Who knew?
