JUST A LITTLE BLOG

Nothing really has gone on in the last few days. Chuck left on Friday and we all miss him so much. CJ cried for a little bit when he first left, and then it was Taylor's turn. I can not believe how much I miss him. I have a crazy busy week this week and so I think that it will go by fast.
Church was good today. I did learn that instead of a Christmas program the ward is doing a thing of Bishops. WEIRD. I think. Christmas only rolls around once a year, bishops are there year round. Maybe it will be good.

Hailey and Taylor did the Turkey shoot yesterday. Hailey made 7 out of 10 and brought home the turkey, Taylor made 3 out of 10 and brought home the pumpkin pie, they talked me into doing it and I got a whooping 0 out of 10, and I brought home nothing. After I was done, Hailey asked me if I was embarrassed. I really wasn't. Nan made 4 out of 10 (Hanana's mom) and some other lady made 1 out of 10 and took the pumpkin pie. As you can tell the girls get their talent from Nan and I. :) CJ can do it next year. He is real excited. I guess maybe I better practice my shots.

When Chuck gets home I will update on the killing of the deer. I guess if they all get one we can have a full freezer full of elk. The deer can go to someone else's home.

VETERANS DAY

I always love Veteran's Day, just for the simple fact that there is an assembly at the school. They invite all of the Veterans from around the valley and then the kids at the school sing and today they did a skit. There is one song that always gets me when the kids sing it. It is called "You are our Hero's". (if you want to listen to it just go to youtube and punch in "you are our Hero's, it is the first one that came up that I clicked on, after you listen to it you will understand what I am talking about, then just htink in your mind all the grandpa vets crying). Let me just tell you about our choir teacher, she is amazing, so she teaches all the kids this song and they all sing it together with the music. I just kept talking to myself (in my head) so that I would not cry, I have learned over the years NEVER LOOK AT THE GRANDPA VETERANS, well I did, so it was talk faster in my head so that I wouldn't cry, then silly me look over at Mrs. Wagstaff and she is in a full fledged cry, CRAP!!! Well you know me, here came the tears. After the song was over I got it together but by now all of the kindergarten class is looking at us and just staring. After we leave one little girl asked me why we were crying in there, and I told her that it was just that all of these people have died in the wars so that we get to come to school, and before I could even finish my sentence she blurts out "or maybe you just felt the Spirit". Funny huh. So thank you to all of the Veterans!!!

I forgot to tell you that Taylor Ann did a great job on saying her part, Hailey said that when they played the Star Spangle Banner the Vets there cryed to because they sounded so good. Good Job kids, I love you.

TO MUCH STUFF TO REMEMBER

It has been forever since my last blog. I should do this every night so that I can remember what the heck goes on in my life while it is still fresh on my mind.
Hailey had her first band concert of the year. It was fabulous as usuall!! She was not going to be in the band again this year but she deciced to do it one more year. I can not believe how talented she is on the old trumpet. She needed a St. mute for her trumpet to make it not so loud and the cheap person that I am did not want to go and buy a $100.00 st. mute so I told her to just stuff a sock in the end of it, she idd not think that I was funny for one sec. She told me that she was not going to be on the stage and the hurry and put a sock in her trumpet. I thought that it was a great idea. She did get all A's on her report card and did make it on the higher GPA. That means that she will be in the newspaper with all of the other smart ones.
The Park City softball coach caught Chuck over there the other day and asked if Hailey could play on the Triple Crown softball team in the summer. She is so excited and this coach is AMAZING. This is all he does is work his guts out with the kids. I am excited because it is in the middle of summer and it is WARM!!!! Not like the weather that we have today.
Taylor has been busy herself. She just got her Halloween dance recital done. She did really good as a pirate. They dance to Yo-Ho a Pirates life for me. She is also being part of the Veterans day assembly, and in her 4th grade program. She has a lot of confidence. Which is a really good thing. She did get good grades to. She has been busy with a lot of projects in 4th grade. Lots of book reports, reports that they have to get in front of the class and present.
CJ is still praying for President Hinkley to be having a good time in heaven with his life, (wife in his terms). He is reading really good, he hates to do it but I make him and when he gets sat down to do it he likes it, it is just getting him to do it. I do not think that he has had to pull a card lately. Thank heavens. Although today I did tell him that if he did not sit down and get his work done I would go to the principle and ask her to change me out of his class room and I would never get to come back to his class. It worked for a bit. Goober.
Chuck leaves on his Montana trip on Friday. Two weeks is a long time to be apart. I think that the longest that we have ever been apart is maybe a week, when we went to Disney and the moms stayed and the dad's went home. Two weeks is a long time. But think of the projects that I will be able to get done. I think that he is pretty excited to go. I do not think that it would be fun to go, just for the simple fact that it is cold there and I like to be warm.
I have just been busy with work, PTO, mom etc. All of our fundraising stuff comes this week and next week. I am dreading it allready. O well it will be over soon. Today at lunch a little girl puked at lunch and it was all over her and the girl that was next to her. So the good person that I am went and asked the Vice-Principle needed help with something and he said "can you take them and clean then up?" So I get them in to the bathroom with Lindi outside in the hall dancing and singing at the top of her lungs, so I get another teacher to take her back to the kindergarten area, I go back in the bathroom and I just could not do it. I should have because they were so little and needed someone to help them. I just was not that person. I told them to wash their hands and stepped outside to see if I could find that special person. I was so glad to see Sandy Lott coming down the hall, so I walk very quickly to her and ask her if she can do throw-up (I knew that she could it was just my way of saying HELP ME!!! I have seen her clean it up on the bus). So I told her where to go and she must have got them cleaned up because about a hour later I seen that the kids were still at school. YUCK!!!! I wish that I could do throw-ups but I just can not!!! Bring on the blood and guts but keep the throwing up to yourself. As Mandie says my clicker is clicking right now. Changing the subject.
I will do better with the blogging. I think now that I have my old computer back I am going to try and do some pictures. Maybe. :)
