Making the Team

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

After a week of Intramurals and 3 days of Try-outs, the Silverado Soccer teams were announced.  Alexis was one of the few Freshman to make JV.  I am so proud of her and how much she has developed her skills in the past year.  She has been lucky to have her Uncle Ryan coaching her on the LV Galaxy to prepare her for these tryouts and playing HS Soccer.

1st Day

Monday, August 27, 2012

We all headed back to school.  Alexis started High School at Silverado.  We liked all but one of her teachers - she has 8 classes, so that is pretty good.  She is taking Spanish, Guitar, Math, Biology, English, P.E. and Freshman Studies.  She is trying out for soccer this week and has a great Seminary teacher, Sis. Taylor.


Camryn in in 4th Grade.


Her teacher is Mr. Suckow.


Seth is in 1st Grade.


He has Mrs. Janeksela this year.


Seth and Camryn are going to Fong, where I am the librarian again this year.  I am excited to be back and enjoy all the hard work I did getting the library back in shape.  Dave is a Computer Specialist at Del Webb Middel School.  He is especially busy at the beginning of the year.

Oh, What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Summer 2012

We were gone so much this summer, but when we were in town we spent time with our friends.

We went to the Summer Movies at the Colonnade theater for $1/person.  They showed movies that were a little older, but we saw a few we had never seen - Chimpanzee (a Disnety Nature film that showed the chimps attack and eat a monkey!) and Arthur Christmas (which was a cute holiday movie we really liked).  We almost always took a few friends and we always brought lots of treats.


We went to Flippin' Out one afternoon with the Peerys and the Shafers.  It was a huge trampoline place.  It was pretty fun for the kids to jump, and it was nice for me to chat with the moms.


We played Wii a lot.  I tried to get the kids to play more active games, like Wii Fit and Just Dance.  Here are the kids Just Dancin' with the Driscols, who came to play while the moms went to lunch group at Bachi Burger.


We also swam quite a bit.  We were able to "watch" the neighbors pool for a while, so we could swim all we wanted.  The McCrackens in our ward, were nice enough to open their pool twice a week all summer also, so we swan there a few times too.  The kids love to be in the water,


We had a busy summer and I was kinda ready to get back to a schedule when school came.
