Fun, New Things

It's pretty bad when you can't remember what's been going on so you have to look it up in your phone. I have learned how to play Futsal (indoor soccer). Our ward has a team. I even invested in shin guards and soccer socks. It is a good work out and one day I hope to be good at it. It is fun to learn though. I'm also going to play on a softball team which I'm pretty excited about! A lady in my ward invited me. I don't know how she knew I played, but it'll give me a chance to get to know new people here. Branden and I each took part of our tax return and man did I go on a shopping spree. I'm trying to look more girly. I also went to an open house and bought some necklaces and earrings. Now I'm trying to save up to finish out my ward robe. I was on the committee for the Relief Society Birthday Party so I've been working on that the past few weeks. It was a lot of fun, but I'm sure glad it's over! For our Primary activity we're having a Film Festival and each class was supposed to make a video of a story from the Book of Mormon. I got mine finished this week and I just sit and laugh. If I remember I'll post it on here before I end my rambling. I look forward to seeing everyone's videos. Other than that for me, it's been yard work and playing with the kids than come to our house. According to the neighbors, I may have 2 more kids that want to join our family. I almost forgot, last weekend I went to girl's night. We went to the Pizza and Pasta Factory. It was fun to get to know different ladies. Six of us rode in my neighbor's suburban and it was a blast!


Braxten has started soccer. He had his first game last week and did a great job. I forgot the camera though, so no pictures sorry! We've had a few practices and I'm the Assistant Coach. It's a lot more fun to watch him this year because he's a lot more aggressive and doesn't sit down every few minutes. He'll also start t-ball here in the next 3 weeks. He is growing and learning a lot! He also got 100% on his first two sight word spelling tests. I couldn't be more proud of him!

Branden has been all over the place this month. He went to Salt Lake at the first of the month. He had Scout Camp at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes a couple weekends ago. He also went to Pleasant Grove this past week for meetings. I didn't know he'd travel this much, but it's okay. He gets to learn new things and have fun! He helped with the scouting for food drive yesterday in the cold wind and fixed the sprinkling system.

We've had a few friends come down to see us and it's been a lot of fun to see them! We're so grateful for great friends and family!

A few fun things

Dr. Seuss Week

Brax had Dr. Seuss week at school the first week of the month and we had a lot of fun with it. Monday was Dr. Seuss hat day, Tuesday was crazy sock day for Fox in Socks, and Wednesday was crazy hair day for Thing 1 and Thing 2. We left town Thursday and Friday so he didn't participate in Green day or PJ day. I have included some fun pictures. We bought the green and white hat on Monday and he decided he wanted more, so I made them. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Trip to Wyoming

A new niece was born in January and we hadn't seen her yet and she was getting blessed on March 7th so we decided to head to Casper. It was a fun trip. We stayed in Salt Lake the 1st two night of our trip and then headed out. We stopped in Evanston and saw some friends. We stopped again in Rock Springs, to see some more friends. If you don't know, we lived in Rock Springs for a year and a half. We met some amazing people there and it was great to see them again. We hadn't seen them in almost five years. We stayed in Casper for 2 nights, enjoyed the baby blessing and headed home. It was fun to see amazing people. We drove straight through on the way home. It took us 10 hrs. and 10 mins. with five different stops. I am so glad we went.

Spring Break

This past week and tomorrow are Spring Break for Brax. He goes back on Tuesday and we're both excited! We have gone on some shopping trips and been to the movies twice. I love the cheap theater. It is nice. We've had a lot of fun with the neighbors and even had some friends come down this weekend. Our goal for tomorrow is to go swimming and then life back to normal. Anyway, I think I've put enough on here and really better get to bed.

Last Week is a Blur

I haven't posted anything about last week because I don't really remember much. Brax was out of school Monday and Tuesday with half days the rest of the week due to Parent, Teacher, Student Conferences. I learned he has come a long way in the 2.5 months we've lived here. He's catching up quickly!

Last Tuesday night Branden went ice skating for the 1st time ever. I didn't know he'd never gone before. He said he took some girl out because he started spinning and couldn't stop, then fell down! He said it was a lot of fun even though he hung on the wall a lot. My family used to skate a lot in the winters, so maybe I could talk him into going skating again.

The reason the week has been a blur is because I have been sick, yet again! I have this cough that is killing my throat and I think I'm better then get really sick again. I guess maybe it's supposed to be that way for now. I also have a constant headache. I'm sure it'll go away soon!

We did have a lot of fun Sunday night. Branden's aunt and uncle invited us over for dinner. We ate and they asked Branden a lot of questions about his mission. It was a lot of fun and I learned things I didn't know. We were there for 3 hours. We watched the kids play, talked, and Branden helped his cousin with homework. He loves math, so it was good for him. Anyway, short post, but that's all I have to say for now!
