One day this week when I ran the seminary carpool, Marisa came out twirling and spinning around (exactly like Julie Andrews in the sound of music) with a humongous smile. Why? Because the sun was up and it was warm!! Actually warm! It got up to 73 degrees that day and it was absolute heaven! Tyler and Alayna were able to go to school without a winter coat, gloves, hats , scarves, and snow boots. It was a great day!
Bob got everyone’s bikes up and running and had the first family bike ride of the year. Alayna was excited to be riding again and her goal this summer is to learn to ride the bike without training wheels.
I subbed three days this week and am now down with a miserable head cold. I predict a long week ahead. Spring Break cant come fast enough!
I am pretty sure we have the worst EVER luck with cell phones. This week Tyler accidentally dropped Marisa’s phone and now the screen doesn’t work. Ugh!
Kayla made a CO2 car in tech the past couple of weeks. They actually cut it out using the machines, sand it down, spray paint it, etc. She made her car in the shape of a clarinet! So creative! Then they get to stick a CO2 canister on it and race them. I will attach a pic of her with her car.
Upcoming this week:
Kayla has her band solo on Tuesday night
Parent conferences
Teacher/parent conferences for me with my students (10 hours total over two nights)

Abundant sunshine, temp of 15, BUT Spring is on the way!
Last Week Report:
Lots of sick germs this week! I think everyone of us have been down with something in the past week. 10% of the high school was out this week sick, including Marisa.
Bob and Tyler made it home safely from what they considered a “Totally Awesome” trip to Phoenix! They were able to go 4-wheeling and to the all-star basketball jam session. I think Tyler really enjoyed being able to go spend some time with his dad away from the girls.
Marisa had her “Festival of the Orchestras” concert this week. She looks so beautiful up there and she is getting so good! I took some pictures and we are trying to get her concerts on a DVD so grandparents can see. Also, because she made the Chamber Orchestra, she is performing with the orchestra for the big high school production of “Les Miserables” at the end of April. She loves the music and loves being part of a “pit orchestra”.
This Week:
Bob was VERY sick this week and even missed 1 ½ days of work. Great news- he didn’t get laid off, but 3 guys from his group lost their jobs. He is feeling better now.
Tyler had the scout Blue and Gold Banquet. Once again he made an awesome cake for the contest. The theme was USA so he made a flag cake. He made it from start to finish all by himself. Impressive!
Kayla’s Battle of the books team won again! They head to the finals tomorrow!
Until next week…
