March Madness

1.  I was called into the Young Women's presidency recently.  I am the counselor over 18 Beehives (12-13 year old young women).  As challenging as this calling is, I'm grateful for the interaction with this emotional age group.  It won't be too long before I have two of my own in the class.  And my schedule just got busier.

2.  Somebody FINALLY let me cut her hair.  So much better for all parties involved doing hair every morning.

3.  All the big kids had their own special ski day with Dad or Mom.  (Annie and I skied Brighton in the blizzard).  Abby and Tim skied at Sundance and loved riding through the "Outlaw Trail".

Carter and Tim headed up to Brighton with a another dad/son.  They skied until the resort closed.



While the boys were gone, we got frozen yogurt.  Mmmmmm......

4.  I think these pictures speak for themselves.

5.  Abby really wanted a pair of "cool" new shoes.  BUT, she already has shoes (I guess they aren't cool???).  So I got her the shoes, but she had to earn them.  I even made her sign the list of jobs - if she didn't do the jobs, the shoes were taken away.  She finished every job and didn't complain once.  I was proud of that girl!

6.  I have THREE third graders who know all their multiplication tables.  These flashcards have been used every single day since September.  Yeah for US!
