Another week is gone. This week was more eventful. Seemed that someone was always going somewhere. We had Scouts, Activity Days, Basketball, Meetings, and more basketball. Chad and I also went to the Stake Valentine Dinner/Dance. That was fun, except that Chad got an EMT call and left me there for about an hour or more! I felt a bit out of place. Luckily as I am the Ward Activities person, we were also asked to help out at this activity and so I could busy myself in the kitchen some. When he got back we danced until it was over. There were only about 10 couples left! Our main responsiblity was to stay and help clean up after the activity was finished. Unfortunately (and as usual) we were some of the only ones to do so. We left with the couple in charge at 11:45 p.m.! It was a LONG, but enjoyable night.

The boys basketball teams did much better this week. Skyler's team was ahead for a while, but ended up losing. Skyler did great and even scored a basket. This is a great feat for the shortest player! He gets many jump balls as he is not afraid to reach in and take hold. This also causes some fouls :) Jaydon's team won by a long way this time. He made lots of baskets and just keeps going. Only problem is as the game goes on he gets wilder and wilder! They were both fun games to watch.

The kids are having a snowball fight with their dad right now! It has been a beautiful snowy day! I love winter when everything is covered with fresh, white snow! It is very heavy snow and the kids all worked together and made a great snowman to guard their playhouse! Besides all the snow around Christmas, this is the first time they've been able to be out playing in good snow! We haven't even gone sledding this year.

That's our excitement for the last week. This week will pass quickly as we are heading to Disneyland! We should have a lot to tell about in two weeks when we are back!

Another week has passed! (Or was that two?) Some of us are better and the rest of us are sick now too! Chad, Alex, Jaydon, and Keiera seem to have the sore throat/congestion that Skyler and I already had. I hope that we are all better by February 13th because that is when we will be leaving to go on our family vacation to Disneyland!

I'm not sure much out of the ordinary happened during the last two weeks. There's always school, laundry, homework, chores, laundry, scouts, piano, laundry, and more laundry! Chad has been skiing a few times and Skyler got to go with him once because he was out of school for the end of the term. I have even scrapbooked two pages! (And figured out how to add a background to our blog!!!!!!!!)

Both of the boys lost their basketball games again. We're not sure how they always end up on losing teams, but they usually have fun anyway. However, Skyler is tired of losing with maninly because of soccer. His competitive soccer team disolved and so we signed him up for Rec instead--that should be good for all of us.

I guess this will be a short entry because I really can't think of anything to add.
