Our Week

Our library trip was great – but I loved how Joy wanted to check out her own books!  Jessi’s very last service project for her Faith in God award.  She made a cake for our Primary President.  She was recently released after years of service.  Jessi thanked her for her service.nov 4 001nov 4 002

I got to go to Lizzy’s school and see her presentation on bugs.  She was so happy to have me there!

Sammi’s eye exam – wonderful news!  After several years of rapid deterioration, Sammi had barely any change this last six months – wahoo!  The girls working on Halloween crafts.

Becca missed three days of school with her croup.  That is an eternity for a High Schooler!  She had time to make herself warm breakfast.  Introducing her new fav – GF waffles, sausage, eggs, cheese, syrup, topped with another GF waffle.

When I pick her up after school, I always ask Jessi about each period of her day.  So she has started taking notes so she can tell me about her day.  Haha!  I think that’s brilliant!   

Sammi was delighted with her hair – we braided it and it came out looking like this.  She loves it when it’s curly and controlled!

The girls happy to be together.   My family stopped by.  The cows were processed and had to be delivered.

Halloween – we all went out except Becca.  She was still struggling with croup, so she stayed home and handed out candy.  Joy had an adventure – more on that in her blog!

Finger-painting – Lizzy couldn’t be left out!

Sometimes the big girls just have to leave and be teenagers – they usually just go and get a drink, sometimes they window shop.  I love that they spend time together!

Happy 12th Birthday Jessi!

Her birthday pencil from Orchestra.  The day before her birthday we gave her a blank t-shirt and fabric markers to make herself a birthday shirt.  She was so excited!  She wore it to school the next day!

Birthday Party – the girls went to see Wreck-It Ralph.  The power went out and damaged the projector about 3/4 the way through the movie.  So they got coupons to come back, but weren’t able to finish the movie.  We came home, had pizza, cake, and presents. nov 4 026IMG_2047IMG_2049IMG_2051IMG_2053IMG_2055IMG_2056IMG_2057IMG_2064IMG_2067

Happiest 12th Birthday my Jessi!  We love you and are so proud of the Young Women you are becoming!
