Tri-School Trot

September 2010

Our School joined with two other Schools this year to do a Fundraiser. Instead of selling Cookie dough or pizza they asked for donations from friends and family and then pledged to run/walk so many laps for 45 minutes.

It was a great success for the three Schools and community loved it. There was loud music and tons of family and friends walking the track to support this event. My boys loved it. Camron and Alex ran I believe 3 laps in the beginning and then walked a few more and then got lots of water poured on them. It was fun to watch.

The Corn Field

September 25th, 2010

After a great day at the Baptism that evening we went to our first Corn Field. None of us had actually done this so this was a fun experience for all of us. The kids loved this and weren't afraid at all. Luckily we weren't at a scary maze. I don't think we could have made it if there were chainsaw guys scaring us along the way. It took us about 45-60 minutes to get through it. We were greatful to Coby getting us through the maze. He is so SMART!!!!

Alex's Baptism

Alex had an amazing Baptism Day. We had friends, and family with us. After Alex was baptised the first thing he said was "Wow". We could definitely feel his spirit after he recognized his own feelings about what just had happened.

When we split off into our own rooms to finish up the talks and Confirmation we were put in a room that didn't have a piano so Grandma Johnson got off the hook of playing the piano. That was okay we sounded great without the pinao. Grandma Leisa gave the Talk on the Holy Ghost and then Coby did the Confirmation and Grandpa Ross gave the closing prayer. It all turned out great and we had a wonderful day. It started at 9:00 a.m. and was over by 10:15 a.m. so everything was short and sweet.

The only thing is I am such a Ball Baby. I cried all morning. I don't know why I was so emotional maybe because my first born was turning 8 and I couln't believe how fast the time has gone by. What an amazing experience.

Alex is 8 !!!

September 2010
Alex had a small birthday party. We took him and a couple other friends to McDonald's for dinner and then came home and opened Presents and had cake and Ice-Cream.
Some fun things about Alex. He is full of personality. He loves to be with friends and loves to entertain. He is very kind and helpful. Alex is enjoying school and loves Math but I think his favorite subject of Recess. Some of his favorite things right now is learning to skate board, trade Pokemon with his friends, and playing the wii with his friends. We love Alex so much. He is sweet, kind, loving, helpful, happy, friendly, loves to hunt, fish, and go on 4-wheeler rides, but most of all he is a great kid.

Labor Day Weekend!

September 2010

We spent the weekend with our families. We went to Delta Res with the Carling's and we had a Bar-B-Que with the Johnson's.

While we were at the "Res" we ate, visited, went on lots of rides, and almost lost Brett in the water. Lesson learned. Always wear a life vest. That was not a fun experience words can't describe how I felt. But needless to say we had a blast.
