Megan Turned 14!

Megan is officially 14 years old.   She chose to go to Red Robin for her birthday dinner.  She likes to go there so that she can have unlimited root beer floats.  She was nice and shared with Josh and Allie.  We went to dinner the day before her birthday and then on her birthday she had mutual. 

Then the next day, on Friday, she had a little friend party.  Four nice young ladies came over, and we had pizza and then they had a fire and made S'mores while playing Murder in the Dark/Mafia game that Josh narrated for them.  

They then came inside to open presents and have ice cream.  They then played some video games before the parents came over to pick them up.  I think that they all had a great time, and I know Megan had a great time.  She was nice to let Allie be included in the whole party and Josh was nice to narrate the game for them.  It was nice to see all three of them involved in the party and having fun together.

Megan is Student of the Month

Megan received one of the Student of the Month awards for CTE.  It was nice that she got it so close to her birthday.  Both Tony and I were able to make it to her awards ceremony and have a light lunch with her.  

Megan is a super smart girl.  She gets great grades and her teachers all love her.  She is a good friend and spends the most time with her friend Hadley.  They loved to get together and bake cookies and treats.  She is playing softball again this year and is excited for the games to start.  She has a strong testimony in the gospel and has a love for her Savior.  All though she can give an attitude at times, and I embarrass her often by just being me, I know she loves us all.  We are lucky to have her in our family, and she is going to do great things.

Josh's Concert Choir and Madrigals Tryouts

Josh had his Spring Concert.  He did a good job with the Concert Choir.  Margie and Lloyd were able to make it to support with the rest of us.

He had tryouts for Madrigals for next year a couple weeks ago and he made it.  We are so excited for him to have that experience, and he was so happy that he made it.   

Josh is a Granger High Tennis Player

Josh has decided to join the Granger High Tennis team this year.  The boys team is small, but they have a good time.  

Josh is really enjoying tennis and his coach said that he is the most improved on the team.  

Tony has taken him to the courts a couple times to work on his basic skills and that has been fun.  I think that this is reminding Tony how much he likes playing Tennis.

We are excited to continue to watch Josh this season and see how much he continues to improve.  I think this might spark something in all of us to go out together and play more tennis as a family.

Random Happenings

 

The girl's sweet youth Young Women's president made hearts for all the young women in our ward that uses their name spelled out with nice things about them.  

A beautiful Sunrise on my walk.

Koda sitting on Allie's feet.  This made her very happy and she wanted a picture.

I am lucky to see many beautiful sunrises on my walk after I drop off the girls at school.

Josh's First Date - Sweathearts Dance

Josh got asked to go to the Sweethearts Dance with a girl name Katie.  He has known her since last year and was pretty excited to get asked.  I thought that the Sweethearts Dance would have been before Valentine's Day, but I was wrong.  She asked him the night we got home from our trip and then we made sure he answered her the next day since the dance was supposed to be that weekend.

The dance ended up getting cancelled, stating low ticket sales so the girls decided to still get together and do a group date.  They went ice skating, did a murder mystery dinner at the Allison's and then finished the night watching a movie.  Josh said that he had a good time but was not interested in going out with her again.  I think it was a good first date for him and we will see if he shows any interest in going out again anytime soon.  He doesn't seem to care about dating yet, and that is okay.
