Dr. Seuss Week

Last week was Dr. Seuss week at school for the girls... The first day("I Can Read with my Eyes Shut day") all the kids were to bring in their favorite Dr. Seuss book to read. Tuesday was "Green Eggs & Ham day" and they were to wear green from head to toe. Wednesday was "The 500 Hats... and Foot Book day" where the kids wore crazy hats, socks, and shoes. Thursday was "Whoville Hair Day" (which Brooke did not want to participate in). Friday was "I'm Not Going to Get Up day" and the kids wore pjs and brought in a favorite pillow and blanket for a read-a-thon parade. Fun week!

Here are some (dark) pictures of Kara's hair on Whoville Hair day:

11 weeks!

Jeff is done with his bachelor's degree in 11 weeks!!!! I'm so proud of him for going to school and getting this degree done so quickly (almost 4 years exactly)!

Good job, Jeff!

Spring Break!

It's Spring Break. The first day off from school and I'm already waiting for school to start again. The girls are going stir crazy and driving each other (and me) crazy!
We just returned from a fun weekend trip to Salt Lake City to visit family... thanks to Aunt Katie for coming to puppy-sit so we could go!

While we were there we saw the newest temple in Utah: Oquirrh Mountain. Some pictures from that day:










Brookie's Basketball

Brooke was playing basketball (I think I've mentioned this previously) and her season ended last week.



Here she is with her trophy!

DSC Basketball (repost)

I'm reposting this post so I can get rid of the spam comment on the last one.


We were looking for something fun to do this past Saturday to get out of the house. I thought it would be fun to go to a Dixie State basketball game (espcially since I heard that they ahd been winning). I knew I'd probably get a discount, but was expecting to pay for Jeff & the girls. The best surprise at the box office: DSC students get in for free and kids 12 & under are free too! So with a $5 ticket for Jeff, in we went. We sat through most of the last half of the women's basketball game (which had a close finish), then watched the men's game. Both teams won! :)


It was also fun to see several people I know from different classes attending the game. And one of hte players for DSC's men's team is in my biology lab - and he had a great game. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.


Here is a picture of Jeff & Brooke at the game (from my phone... Kara didn't want to be in the picture to I opted out too!) (oh yeah, and this was between the games, so it looks empty inside the arena for this picture, but there were a lot more people there once the men's game started) :

comments being moderated

I guess I was finally hit by someone posting a spam comment. So, since one bozo ruined it I guess the comments will now be moderated.

Thanks, guys.
