Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my semester being over! I'm thankful for a break from school! I'm thankful for my beautiful family, and my hunky honey! I'm thankful that my children are safe and smart and beautiful. I'm glad that we have a home that keeps us warm and let's us express ourselves in creative ways. I'm very thankful that I have the gospel with all it's blessings and truth. I'm glad to have friends that support me the way I am. I have a job that is enjoyable that allows me to be home with the kids and expands my capabilities in music each day. It really is a wonderful life.

This week we decided just to relax. After spending the week turning our family vehicle from a soccer mom van to a soccer mom suburban. We needed the break! Sariah had her soccer party thursday, we celebrated more than soccer, we celebrated the ending of coaching, yah! What a season!! We had a great season, but all being said we are very glad to be done! Ashley Rachel and Sariah are doing the play, so now we move on to making costumes!

This last week Jason had almost 6 days off a record for him, so we decided to go to the river. It was great fun! Everyone got muddy and we lost a shoe wading across the river that some call a stream. The kids acted like it was a day at the beach. They dug in the mud and made sand castles in the island in the middle. Jason was fishing for catfish. When he got one the kids were completely overcome with happiness, then the fish croaked at them. I told them that it was asking them to put it back and whoever did would get a wish, so we wrote another kids story to add to our collection. I will post the story tomorrow! It was a great day for our family. I'm going to try to post some of the pictures, knowing the girls will be angry with me, they were all in their underwear for the trip! Someday they will forgive me!

I still don't know how to fully use this blog, but I will get the hang of it! This week I had three concerts a little crazy, but it went rather well. The high school sounded better than I have heard before, the middle school is catching up with them and there are 85 beginnners in my elementary classes. The family is busy, but having fun. The girls are all in the play snow white. Ashley is weepy the dwarf, rachel is a bunny that talks and sariah is a deer!

I'm not sure if I want to use this blog or keep using my secure one. I'm going to start off using this blog for my orchestras.
