A Tribute:
Over a year ago I was blessed with the calling of Mia Maid Advisor. I cannot fully express the joy that it has brought to my life. These girls have brought such happiness to my life. Yes, they can be challenging, but not so much that I don't dearly love them. I have enjoyed the ups and downs we have experienced in learning how to make the classroom a good place for everyone. I was so excited to get to know all the new young women coming in this year. Today my heart is breaking. After church I was released from this calling. I don't remember ever crying in an interview, today was the first. Looking back I feel bad for the Bishopric member that had to talk to me. I of course accepted my new calling, which in itself will be a wonderful experience, but this is a tribute for all the girls I will no longer be able to see each week. Thank you soooo much for everything you have done for me. I will miss you!!

HE'S A ROCK STAR!!
For a second year in a row Dylan won the school Geography Bee. I can't tell you how scary it is too watch your kids up on stage in front of the whole school (340 students)! He looked soooo nervous. I was so proud of him! He started off with a little hiccup and then went running. By the end of the competition he was answering them all correctly. What a kid he is!! GO DYLAN!!

We have a Winner!

Dylan's team won their second game today. It's been a rough season for them and today wasn't any different. Travis is their coach and rather than work on a single "star" run and gun offense, he is actually teaching them the fundamentals. It's amazing to me how many coaches, even those at the Junior High, High School club level don't teach their teams anything! It's just about the win. For example at Dylan's game, Travis said the other team would just get the ball in and bring it down the court straight to the basket. They didn't work it around, didn't look for the open man; just drove every time. This might work if your guard could actually make his layup, but it isn't such a good idea if the team you are playing against has three boys a foot taller than your players! Dylan's team just kept working at their offense and found themselves dominating the whole game! I am so happy for Dylan and his team! Maybe we are starting a streak!!
I love that my kids are involved, but i hate the fact that so many games cross over each other. I haven't got to go to one of Dylan's games yet! And he's had 15! Today we had three games all at noon! And that wasn't all the games we had! I love watching the kids though. I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
