Bowdee's Football

So in Septemeber Bowdee joined his first football team. We felt bad because he wanted to play football at recess but couldn't because he didn't know the rules. If you know Terry and I you will know we just don't do much football in our family. But Kami on the other hand well their family does football so she talked us into putting the boys in together. I am so glad we did. We signed him up in Lehi because we didn't think AF did it. And his coach ended up being Kodie Francom, who is a kid I went to high school with and his wife Michelle was also another school mate. That was fun to see them and get to know them better. They did an awesome job coaching these boys.
Then Kevin stepped in to coach defense and I have to say he really knows his stuff. And he really cared for the boys you could tell he was on cloud nine at every game. He took Bowdee under his wing and taught him a few hints and practiced extra with him and Izak. I want to say thanks Kevin for being so cool to my kids. It was sad to see it end but it was fun while it lasted. Bowdee was named the best defender of the team.

3rd Grade Program

So Bowdee's music teacher Mrs. Miller put on a music program for the parents to come and see what she has done. Now me being a preschool teacher of just 20 children can't even imagine conquering such a task. The kids all did an amazing job. I was so impressed that they all knew exactly where they were supose to be and actions to the songs. Bowdee danced with Adi, Annie, Madison, and . He did a great job and I appreciate you really doing your best. My favorite part was the last dance where they learned about 9 different dance moves then they let the kids just do their thing with their dance partner. Bowdee was up on stage so we could see him really well and he could really groove. They danced to the 1 o'clock,2 o'clock,3 o'clock rock song.Terry was able to take a few hours off work to watch it and my dad even surprised us with his presence. Matia was heartbroken that she had to go to school and not be there to watch her brother. It was so stinking cute. Here are some of his best 3rd grader friends.

Wendover for UEA???

Well ya we took our kids to Wendover for UEA break. We decided since they did so great on their grades that we would like to show them how much we appreciate their work. So we had a free room to Wendover and took them there. It was great the kids all slept on the way out there until we got to the "TREE" if you haven't seen the tree it is amazing. We stopped and checked out the salt flats and we all tasted the salt. I think the kids just wanted to make sure it wasn't a field full of sugar. Then we went to the hotel, we stayed at the Rainbow. When we entered the room all of the kids jaws dropped to the floor. They were amazed at how nice the room was. They thought it looked like a Kings Palace. Then we hit McDonalds for happy meals and then the pool for a great time. The pool was really cold but after staying in the hot tub for a while the pool felt great. Then we all fell into a deep wonderful sleep. The next day they were invited to G-ma and G-pa's for a night with the cousins for a sleep over. They all had a great time together while Terry, Troy, and I headed out to Wendover for another night of fun. It was great not to have to think about homework and getting ready for school. We just love taking it easy on our own time frame. Thanks guys for the wonderful weekend.
