<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, we told Dallin he could go on a trip if he earned his Eagle Scout Award.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He chose to go to Alaska.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turns out Shane had work to do in Alaska, so we worked for awhile and payed for most of the trip while we were on the trip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We traveled to Boise after church responsibilities were taken care of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We spent the night and continued the drive to Seattle. Shane chose to take a longer route to Seattle so the boys could see the sights. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now they can add the Seattle harbor, the University of Washington and the Space Needle to the list of things they have seen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ended up at the Airport about 5:30 with a flight that left at 8:30.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three things were very true:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) We had been in the car a very long time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) We were very sick of eating Subway</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little over two months ago we had the official Eagle Scout Court of Honor to recognize all of Dallin's hard work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was going to take pictures, but video was requested. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few disclaimers:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since this was taken I have lost 11 pounds. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And since I have seen the video I am glad I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first video is McCade leading the flag ceremony.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then Shane spoke a bit and then we heard from Dallin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ah, my Summer. . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the brief thing that is was is gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mind is cluttered and I hope I can find the clarity to start up school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fall is always hopping with Football and Cheerleading.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year we add the Miss Russet Pageant on to that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I will digress and catch up a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin graduated from Junior High (well Middle School). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seriously, what is Middle School?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is it in the middle of? *Whatever*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He received a special award for having the Highest Reading ISAT Score.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yep. Pretty cool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But before that we had dance recital. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY DANCED THIS YEAR!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">yep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">even Shane!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tacey signed tehm up for Daddy/Daughter Ballroom. She was by far the oldest 'daughter' in the class. She absolutely didn't care. She just wanted to dance with her Daddy.</span></div>

He is really the color of his left arm that is NOT in shadow. I turned off the flash on my camera because I didn't want to bother the poor little guy. He has enough to do with working at breathing! The tube in his mouth goes to his tummy to help relieve the air that gets pushed down there through his nose.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The speed at which life goes by sometimes astounds me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, it usually astounds me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seriously, it makes me need a nap.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to a class last night and they were talking about how we are all running so fast with the speed of our lives. It gets so hard to tolerate any other speed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't tell you how many times I have stood in front of the microwave and told it to hurry up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seriously?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wonder when we got this way. When we developed to obsessive need to hurry through everything. I am not going to hurry through this post. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At least I will try not to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I warn you, it is a REALLY, REALLY long one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, last week was a doozy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a track meet on Tuesday. Thank goodness it was at home!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was very, very cold. Seriously. I had five blankets on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been trying to figure out why Track seems so much colder than football. I think it is because you don't jump and down and it doesn't move fast enough to really keep you engaged. This means you get to sit there and think about how you are freezing to death. Plus, football lasts about 2 hours. Track meets are a good 3-4 hours. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin is the one, lone, smart eighth grader. He is wearing his heat gear from Football, his track uniform, a hoodie sweatshirt and most of the time his sweats and a warm beanie hat. He has listened and learned to stay warm. That is a good thing; to have warm muscles when you run.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The teams hang out in the middle of the field. I don't if McCade likes running or socializing more. But he certainly had a good time flirting at this meet.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took some serious convincing, but we did convince him that he should also wear his heat gear. He really didn't like to wear the legs, especially after a girl called him 'tights boy'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They both ran the 400, which is the event most people hate. It is a flat-out sprint for a quarter of a mile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin and McCade like it. I think they like that they can do it when most everyone else can't.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, as a bonus they do it well!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AND. . . backstory. . . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before this race began McCade had spent the last 45 minutes playing soccer and running around in the field. He was so distracted that he missed the first, second, third and final calls for the Triple Jump. In addition, he wasn't lined up for the 400 when he was supposed to be. Dallin had to leave his spot and go get his otherwise-occupied brother. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a nice brother thing to do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So in the end, McCade was kind of tired for this race because he had been running around for quite a awhile. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Granted, there are people who do nothing but fly by the seat of their pants, and they do just fine in this life. So maybe that will be him as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oooohh, Here is a GOOD story!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tacey was in Mr. Campbell's (a math teacher) with a friend before school. When she got there he was talking about these brothers who were incredible runners and had run in the Spud Run last September. He had been looking for them all over the Valley and was afraid they went to Firth. He mentioned that their last name was Matheson. Tacey laughed and told him that they were her brothers. Mr. Campbell asked about her brothers and showed up at the Track Meet that day to do some recruiting. As a good Dad does, Shane got in on the action.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was even a false start. Dallin was oh-so-very-glad it wasn't him. A false start is an automatic disqualification. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade ran the 800 for the first time, EVER. He had only 3 running events and they like them to have four, so they stacked everyone they could in the 800 and 1600. McCade wasn't overly excited about it, but then he started running. You can see the moment he realizes that he doing pretty darn well. In the end, he came in 6th, first for the Shelley team.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeah, makes me wonder what amazing things he will do if he focuses and tries his hardest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometime in the next few days their medals showed up. Both of them were in a relay that took third so they both got Bronze medals. I was thinking that was super-cool, but Dallin was pretty upset. Last year they gave ribbons all the way to 6th, and he had placed in the top 6 of every race he ran so he was pretty upset that they stopped at third.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am still trying to count my drops of awesome, but I haven't done so well at that the last few days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, maybe if I am publicly accountable I will do better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I remembered to buy Tacey treats for her ACT test.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drop of Awesome</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also remembered to put oils on her feet the night before so she would sleep well and be relaxed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drop of Awesome</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also got up at 6:30. ON. A. SATURDAY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She wanted Chorizo and Eggs for breakfast before the ACT.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did that, with homemade Tortillas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Several drops of Awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I sat through McCade's Dress Rehearsal for the Talent Show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yeah, lots of drops there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a show, but there wasn't all that much talent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of drops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought him a new shirt so he would feel confident.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drop of Awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I put oils on everyone's feet at least once this week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 people, 2 feet each</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is at least </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8 Drops of Awesome</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I did some of them more than once, so it is really more than that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, I feel better now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a week of Mondays.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The best part of this week was watching McCade sing in his school talent show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He completely killed it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, here is the video.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sound system in the Gym is less than superb.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But you can see his performance level and get that he can sing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And here is one of my students.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are running.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It might be the massive amounts of Easter candy we have been eating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tacey is occupied with ACTs, SATs, catching up on her schoolwork from a big year of cheerleading, and looking forward to prom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is also learning big lessons about loving friends in spite of their actions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade tried out for the school talent show; he sang better there than he did at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weird, I know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I anticipate he will be asked to participate in the show.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Video will come later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin and McCade are both running Track this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They had two days of practice and then a meet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were very sore! But my essential oils fixed them right up!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a fairly unorganized event.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin missed running in the 100m dash because he was signing up for the long jump, which they called at exactly the same time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was upset.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade completely missed the triple jump because it was at the same time as the 4x400m relay.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neither of them did as well as they had previously done on the 400 because they ran it as a waterfall start instead of in heats. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Dallin was feeling pretty bad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortunately, they were both on the same 4x400m relay team.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortunately, that is always the last race run at the meet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, that means I get to sit there the ENTIRE meet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And track is just as cold as football.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They ran the 3rd & 4th legs of the race.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They had a bad first leg, that runner didn't do so well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second leg repaired some of the damage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin and McCade continued repairing the damage, and their relay came in a respectable second.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**IN THE FOLLOWING PICTURES, IF YOU CAN'T TELL WHICH KID IS WHICH REMEMBER THAT McCADE HAS BRIGHT GREEN SHOES AND DALLIN HAS BLACK SOCKS WITH RED STRIPES UP THE BACK.**</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade also ran the 200m leg of the medley, but they started the Track Meet early, and that is the very first relay so we missed it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was not happy about that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I watched Dallin get stressed out and not know what to do when they called two of his events at once. I am trying really hard to break my old habits and let them grow up. I cannot tell you how badly I wanted to go down and fix the problem for him. But the time has come for all my kids to take care of some of these thing themselves. Yeah, he missed a race. But it is better to learn how to deal with unexpected situations and think on your feet at a practice track meet when you are 14, then to miss an important job interview when you are an adult. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It does kill me to watch them struggle though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin did his personal worst on the 400m, between the emotional upset and the waterfall start I was just glad he hot his head back in the game. He was still very fast though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade was only slightly behind.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is running pretty well for a kid that begged me to get him crutches after the first day of practice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, we had the 4x400m</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mac took the handoff.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, he looks much more stressed than usual.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was also a talent show the cheerleaders performed at.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, they drop her here.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was kind of a controversy. But we choose not to think about it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And she sang at the talent show as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not to add a disclaimer, because I think they are cop-outs, but she had only worked on this song for a week. Add to that the fact that she was gone for 4 of those days at State Basketball. She did a good job. We are still working on the song, she will do it even better when we actually have a chance to work on it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And since no one ever gets to see what I do, this is another one of my students. A little girl with big pipes; loads of talent. The thing I like best about her is that she works her tail off for me. She doesn't take anything for granted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today is National Tortilla Chip Day!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that is a Holiday worth celebrating! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And we did!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The construction of Nachos is a very intricate and personal thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But first, top-notch nacho ingredients are needed!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have to get the bulk tortilla chips. You know, the 5 pound box that costs about $6.00 at your local bulk store. You must also get the canned nacho cheese from the same bulk store. Yeah, it is probably some form of liquid plastic, but it is very yummy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then you must get copious amounts of sour cream and salsa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, here I kind of went the easy route. I was originally going to make the salsa. I love homemade salsa. But I was lazy and bought some instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was also going to do a barbacoa (mexican bbq) roast, but I opted for easier taco-seasoned ground beef instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did draw the line at the refried beans though, and made my own. Those canned ones just don't cut it anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is interesting that all these people in my house have been living almost exclusively for all of, if not a good portion of their lives and still have such varied tastes in nachos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some like them plain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some are not too excited about them mixing and keep all parts separate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some have a specific stacking technique so the chips can be easily accessed when covered in toppings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some (um. . . Shane) declare their nacho actual works of art.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No matter how you do or don't stack it, it is yummy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yea, not on any health food plan, but it is an official holiday so it is worth celebrating.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had other celebrations this week as well!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">McCade turned 13.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now all my kids are teenagers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am officially old.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">McCade has very few foods he actually likes, so getting pizza that day was an easy decision.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, again I was lazy and bought cupcakes instead of making him a real cake. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will admit to a love affair with cupcakes the last little while. I feel like it is cake with portion control.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He asked for a clock that would also charge/play his iPod, a video game, an outdoor basketball and some cologne from Hollister. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this birthday list is a good illustration of where he is in his life - somewhere between childhood and being a young man.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Growing up is a hard thing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday night they boys had basketball again, but McCade didn't play.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He ended up running the board as he really hit his head hard on a shelf the day before. I am certain he has a concussion. He asked me if I was going to take him to the doctor, and I said no. He was surprised, but I know from experience that they do less for a concussion than they do for a broken nose. So I just brought him home and started putting essential oils on him.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tacey & Shane were not there either because they were at their Daddy/Daughter Ballroom class.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tacey is the oldest girl, I think the one closest in age is 11 years old.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I warned her this might happen, but she said she didn't care; she wanted to dance with her Dad. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This makes me think that maybe, just maybe I have accomplished one of my goals in this world. She loves dance. She doesn't care when or what, she just wants to dance and share that with people she loves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, I am still counting my drops of awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is a good day, and I am truly feeling good for the first time in a long time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, here is today's tally:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My student this morning is seriously struggling with one of the songs I have given her. I knew this would happen, and I told her it was going to be a great challenge. We worked really well together today, and she finally saw the progress in herself that I see in her. She said "Wow! I didn't want to murder the song this time!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I drove the boys to school. I know that may not seem too awesome, but whenever I manage to drive somewhere and back on snow-filled roads, it is awesome. We did have a moment of funny as we got in the car: we all (meaning the three of us. . . ) were convinced that three of the four doors were frozen shut. We tugged, pulled got inside and pushed until Dallin realized they were still locked. Yeah, it was pretty funny. I guess the fact that we all laughed and McCade didn't get freaked out about not getting to school early enough to hang with his friend is </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also got dressed, (yes, wearing sweats counts as dressed!) and took my camera into Dallin's GT (Gifted/Talented) class so he could use the video we took at home to make his project. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I came home and decided I should probably shovel the porch. That turned into shoveling the driveway, that turned into shoveling the sidewalks. About 30 minutes later, I had this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47MHzM6eB3bm0NLZboPotrw-s7j9MgZO8FIysflQQhnFCh2SXHKO2sZy8Ao9B0_QWafKBAiEBqBFr1ErdQavL8pCYE2OfKMtQP860-eTAFR2FU10lwEJDtcFa4WONPSdLJ3Tx3AKr5rbo/s1600/2013-02-21_09-07-21_229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47MHzM6eB3bm0NLZboPotrw-s7j9MgZO8FIysflQQhnFCh2SXHKO2sZy8Ao9B0_QWafKBAiEBqBFr1ErdQavL8pCYE2OfKMtQP860-eTAFR2FU10lwEJDtcFa4WONPSdLJ3Tx3AKr5rbo/s640/2013-02-21_09-07-21_229.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yep, Awesome!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So then I looked across the street. My neighbor has serious back problems and has had several surgeries. He also has a pacemaker. His wife is still recovering from a leg injury. They are both always helping other people. Their driveway and sidewalks were full of snow. I headed across the street and in another 30 minutes I had this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY058JmMRU9Lsu8kf5mYxIwVnmk6j2dZwCniQrK8ELLFIrjeRwqDyZOW2mwhtl9y4Y44IIYnkr594dvn4JqTN5Kb9iimVl0N80HOkIsUYqBLokl391b76z9pI4winyuVo-pGV2j6_2nhdk/s1600/2013-02-21_09-01-57_251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY058JmMRU9Lsu8kf5mYxIwVnmk6j2dZwCniQrK8ELLFIrjeRwqDyZOW2mwhtl9y4Y44IIYnkr594dvn4JqTN5Kb9iimVl0N80HOkIsUYqBLokl391b76z9pI4winyuVo-pGV2j6_2nhdk/s640/2013-02-21_09-01-57_251.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They didn't catch me, which was the most awesome part of the entire awesome thing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I had a super-close friend/student come over for her lesson. We visited for a really long time about lots of things, and it was nice to have a conversation with someone who you think is awesomeness personified.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I took Dallin the English homework that was due today that he didn't realize he had left on the kitchen counter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I answered Tacey's phone call that started with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Do you love me?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She had forgotten her cheer shoes. I took those to her, along with the cheer skirt that I KNEW belonged to the school that I found at the local thrift store. I KNEW it belonged because Tacey had worn the exact same one. So I bought it and returned it to the school where it belonged.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Awesome x2!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I finally got around to cleaning my house.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My plan had been to get my month-long menu and grocery list organized, then go to the gym, then shop for the month.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead I have shoveled a lot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Found companionship with my friend, plus we had a great voice lesson! (Awesome!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Taken care of my kids, a lot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And now I have just returned from picking McCade up from school.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got a call from the office saying he had hit his head on a desk and was dizzy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He has a small bump, but both pupils seem to be the same and he isn't queasy but he still has a major headache.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think he has now learned to leave all four legs of his chair on the ground - maybe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't tease him; I got all his stuff.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yeah, my laundry is still undone.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yeah, my house is still a mess.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am still walking around in my sweats wearing yesterday's mascara. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My poor children have been over photographed for a very long time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, recently I haven't been quite the shutter-bug I used to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not quite sure why.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, if I had taken pictures, you would know that they kids got their traditional extra-large Hershey kisses for Valentines Day and that I bought them Pizza for dinner that night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You would also see Tacey dressed all business-like before she walked out the door to her interview for Girl's State. She did an amazing job, which we know for two reasons - 1) Her friend who was on the panel that picked the girl's told her so and 2) She got chosen! If I had taken pictures, you would also see the big smile she came home wearing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You would also see that Tacey was a super-cute cheerleader wearing a lei at the district Basketball game, that our team won. That game was a serious nail -biter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You would also see that Dallin & McCade started city league Basketball. They had a very hard time getting coaches, so they are actually spending 1 1/2 hours on Friday nights running 30 minutes of drills to work on their skills, then they split up and scrimmage. So we don't have actual teams, but the skills practice is a really good thing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yeah, you won't see any of that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I could show you is a picture or two of Shane teaching Dallin how to shave, but I decided that some rites of passage don't necessarily need to be shared with the whole world. But I he didn't cut himself, so that was good. He also decided only to shave his mustache right now, even though the rest of his face is getting fairly fuzzy. He will wait until it starts to turn dark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead you will see our trip to Universal Studios.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took a lot of pictures of things, but not a lot of the kids. We are going back in the near future, and I will make a note to get more pictures with the kids in them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dallin - talked his brother and a neighbor boy into running with him to start to get ready for track. He likes to run alone - so lots of drops there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">McCade - his grades are up - lots of drops there too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me - Brought in the groceries below budget again, bought Shane a Roku so we can finally watch good TV for a very reasonable price, bonded with Tacey as I went out with her BFF and her BFF's Aunt for dinner and a movie, and made breakfast for the kids every single day.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I read a blog awhile ago about finding success in the things we do, not beating ourselves over those things we do not. It talked about little drops of awesome, and how those little drops make a fully awesome day, week, month and therefore person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last night I will admit to a bunch of drops of awesome.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tacey had her girls-choice Sweetheart Masquerade Ball. She asked her current Boyfriend Nick to be her date.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dances are a big deal, they include new clothes, a date during the day time, dinner, the dance and after-the-dance activities. They also require groups: and they are a very important thing. The thing that makes these occasions fun is a group of people all having fun together. These groups can get quite large, but usually they are between 3 & 7 couples. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to say I was really pleased with Tacey; she helped organize a group of good kids that wouldn't necessarily hang out together but would have a lot of fun. Her best friend Martina was not in her group, but had chosen to be in another group. Well, some things happened - not anything of Martina's doing - but she ended up without a group at all. Tacey asked her group if Martina could join their group, but it was already so large they had all agreed not to let anyone else join. So, even though it meant leaving the fun she knew she would have with one group of people, she left that group and formed just a 2 couple group to help out Martina. Then she found another group of 3 couples for them to join.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are not a lot of nice restaurants around here, so most of the time the couples opt for prime-mom cooking at someone's house. This group wanted to go to a restaurant for dinner, but Tacey wasn't a big fan of the restaurant they chose. So she and Martina planned dinner at Martina's house. Good thing too! It seems both their dates had gotten sick with food poisoning at that restaurant before!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition, if you can find someone who dabbles in photography you can get your pictures much, MUCH cheaper and avoid waiting in a hideous line at the dance. The other group members wanted to get traditional pictures taken, but Martina and Tacey asked me to take them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, they met at a house then went M&M Bowling for their day date. There is a chart that tells how they have to roll, launch or hurl the ball down the lane. Each one is given a color and they have to pick an M&M out of the bag to figure out which color they should do. They left at about 1:30 to begin picking everyone up and returned around 5:30.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tacey went on ahead to Martina's house to get ready, and I followed after I waited for the text messages I knew would come. 'Mom, I forgot. . . '. It took less than 5 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I set up the photography studio with lights and a backdrop I borrowed from friends. The girls picked up their dates and brought them back to the house. We took pictures and then they ate dinner. They left only 15 minutes later than planned; which is pretty good for a couple of teenage girls. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About 9:00 they were off for the dance. Before they knew it the dance was over, and they were on their way back to Martina's house with ALL of the original people to watch a movie. The movie began about 11:45, and by the time everyone had been delivered home Tacey walked through the door about 2:15. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A big day indeed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was home about 9:30, but did the good Mom thing and waited up for her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Drops of awesome: Making dessert for the dinner, picking up the last minute things - like a special Mexican Coke for her date and nylons, being smart enough to wait for her to remember what she forgot, taking pictures (awesome ones at that!), editing and posting them on Facebook before the dance was even over (that might be several drops), spending time helping her get ready - make up and hair is a serious business, and a drop of awesome for every minute I stayed up past midnight - 135 of them. Do I also get drops for going dress shopping? For reminding her to order the boutineer? For making sure she had enough money for the day?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But anyway, here are my awesome pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a funny line to find. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do I spend my time blogging or actually doing things with those people I blog about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where is the balance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Balance is a difficult thing for me in every way: Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel like I spend a lot of time wondering if what I am doing at that moment will be something I regret. Not that what I am doing ins't a good thing, but did I make the BEST choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am trying to trust myself more and find more joy in the every day things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, it looks like my last post was way back in November.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I have I done since then?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have attended a lot of Basketball games to watch Tacey cheer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I probably should have attended more, but when they are as often as 5 days a week. . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She did get to travel with the High School Football team and be part of the whole event as they won the State Championship.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dallin and McCade tried out for the Basketball team, and both narrowly missed making the team. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have had issues that we have had to deal with: making sure the kids have appropriate priorities, helping them deal with unpleasant situations and remembering to have fun with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We spent a fairly traditional Thanksgiving at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Everyone knew dinner was done when the fire alarm applauded me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shane tried to get the kids to agree to go out for dinner, but McCade was afraid it wouldn't taste right so I cooked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And contrary to the alarm going off, I didn't burn anything and it all tasted good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dallin ate four full plates between 2:00 & 7:00. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With dessert in between.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't keep him full.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a really bad cold/flu season this year. And since I teach so many little kids I have gotten a mild case of EVERYTHING.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been grateful for my essential oils. With all the nasty stuff that everyone has gotten we would have lived at the medical center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I took a trip to El Paso and found the gravesite of my Uncle who was stillborn. He was born in 1930. I am certain my great-grandfather visited his son, but as time went his little unmarked grave was lost. My Aunts (Tias) were very happy I was able to find where his tiny body is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also learned more about my Great-Grandfather's hard life. I wish he would have left more of his thoughts with us, but he didn't want to burden us with the pain of his past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went to California for Christmas and had a good time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stayed with my Grandma and Muffie which was a change. Grandma enjoyed having us there, but I think Muffie enjoyed it even more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We came back and got immediately back into school. The kids were up to their ears in finals within a week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now it has been days, possibly weeks since we saw the sun. We almost had school canceled one day because it was so cold: -18, but more importantly -27 degrees with the windchill. However, school district policy states that it must be -20 air temperature or -30 with the windchill before they cancel school. So we bundled up and left.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We did get a good old-fashioned Snow day though! It came on a Monday and everyone so happy for the opportunity to sleep in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a little entertainment, here are the 4-6 year old girls from a Cheer Camp Tacey taught at with the rest of the Cheer Squad. I was really proud of her! She ran the group, choreographed the song and was amazing with the little girls. I got texts from parents telling me how good she was with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, so do all my children. During church almost every person under 4 years old ends up sitting with us for awhile. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, football season Dallin didn't last a whole lot longer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They lost the next game to Madison, and didn't make it to the championships.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a very sad night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not just because they lost, but because they didn't play any where near their best. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They knew it too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is tough to have an off night and lose an important game. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And you know what? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sun rose the next morning and he got up and went to school like always.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Isn't that life? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You get knocked down, you get up and deal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess that is what football teaches literally and figuratively.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now we transition from a painful football season into basketball.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a ton of excitement the next week though!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade got his nose broken in PE!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were playing Baseball in the gym, because it is too cold to be outside now. The kids had been complaining because they thought the little plastic wiffle bat was dumb and wanted to play with the aluminum bat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am glad she didn't cave in to the kids that I am sure were really bugging her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If she had, we would have been in full facial-reconstruction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead we just a got a little broken nose.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He did bleed for a long time though.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like 2 1/2 hours long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think that is why he didn't bruise too much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is some hospital pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Emergency Room, was an eternal adventure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took them over an hour to read the x-rays.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was brave and didn't even cry, until I showed up.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Honestly, it was emotionally exhausting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Official diagnosis: Even though the bat hit him on the right side of his nose, he broke off the left side. He is sporting a hard bump on the left side, and still has a bit of trouble breathing through the right side. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is a little concerned about the bump.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I told him to give it a month or so.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe he will think the bump is cool after awhile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was an up side though: the girl he 'likes' walked him to office when he got hurt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(That would explain the lack of crying)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And when he went back to school the next day: He was - in his words - a 'chick' magnet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I guess there is always a silver lining!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, Highlights:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade played his last game Tuesday night. He made the tackle that saved the game.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">GO MAC!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin played his first playoff game. They won 51-6. Not a surprise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, the score could have been a lot worse, but the coach had mercy and started kicking 3 pointers, instead of running in touchdowns. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those boys are on fire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, this is Dallin's game from the week before, but look at the look on his face.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Number 43 doesn't have a chance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About 3/4 of the way through the game this kid just sat on his rear and pouted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He didn't like getting schooled by a smaller guy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Size isn't everything.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had one of his coaches tell us that Dallin isn't by any means the biggest lineman, he is definitely the smartest. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He has developed an amazing knowledge of the game.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He will grow. He officially passed me last night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not that getting taller than me is difficult, but it is a milestone.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Man, did he play hard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Man did I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FREEZE.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Freak of Nature, it was COLD!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin's game was even colder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You know it is cold when the football coach puts on a jacket.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But as it was near or below 32 degrees, he even put on his sweats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was wearing two sets of thermals,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">jeans,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hiking boots,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">two pairs of socks,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a sweater, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a sweatshirt,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">my coat,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">gloves,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ear warmer, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">had the hoods on both my sweatshirt and coat on my head,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and was wrapped in 3 blankets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still froze.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pictures are getting poorer and poorer in quality. They play later, it gets colder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The low light and my shivering have not been picture-friendly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week it will be even colder as Dallin enters playoffs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition it is supposed to have scattered rain and snow showers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Someone asked me if they would cancel the game.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I laughed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FOOTBALL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I am a football mom, so I will be there freezing to death.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love my football boys with all my heart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is to hoping they win and I don't get frostbite!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin had a Birthday a little over a week ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't blog about it back then because we were running around like crazy people!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He got an experience and a half for his birthday!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I guess I should talk about the stuff leading up to it.. . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He had one required Merit Badge left for his Eagle Scout Award: Swimming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took him in on Thursday to a local Aquatic Center to accomplish that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, both Dallin & McCade went as they are both Scouts and both needed it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway. . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He came out with tears in his eyes. He had failed to complete one of the requirements.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I talked him through it: it wasn't a really big deal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Except that it did keep him from completing the Merit Badge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had also scheduled both of them to return the next day (Dallin's Birthday) to complete their Life Saving Merit Badge. This one was going to require the same things as swimming, plus more and they would be harder. He was extremely tense and nervous in the morning: tears fell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can I tell you how bad I felt? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mean Mom, making her kid go do a hard thing on his Birthday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I picked them up this time, he was ALL SMILES.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He not only completed the Life Saving Merit Badge, but in the process completed the missing requirement the day before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They both learned a valuable lesson that day. The first instructor was not encouraging, and almost seemed to take delight in their failure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second instructor was supportive and encouraged them. If they did not complete something first time through, he broke it into smaller chunks so they could accomplish it in pieces before tackling the whole thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I pointed out that they should remember that as they become men and are asked to teach others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, then all the 'boys' got in the car and went to the BYU/Utah State Football game.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Football on Dallin's Birthday! Heck Yea!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a hard- hitting, low scoring game. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He had a good time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This guy is truly a special kid. He is so compassionate. One of his friends told us once "Dallin cries a lot. Some people might think that means he is a big baby, I know it means he has a big heart". He feels everything very deeply. He also keeps it inside, which is why i supposed God felt he needed a Mom like me who gets in his face and makes him talk! (Poor Kid!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He walks through obstacles like they are not even there. I suppose that is because he has had to walk through them his whole life: he knows no difference. He is strong, he is smart. Seriously brilliant; it amazes me. I love him with a love unique to him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, still playing catch-up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year for Tacey's 16th Birthday we took her on a trip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NEW YORK CITY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WASHINGTON D.C.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a blast. It was 10 days of walking and eating</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and watching Broadway Shows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Loved it, loved it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So did she.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year was a serious let down after last year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Told her we weren't going to try to top that until her wedding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But here are pictures of our trip!!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nope, none.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took some.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had football games.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Dallin won!! McCade ALMOST won!!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just haven't had 2 minutes to download the suckers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Been a busy week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead, I want to tell you about what I learned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had personal goal-setting interviews with each of the kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a point of NOT telling them what I THOUGHT should be their goals. I wanted this to be really theirs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was amazed at how well I knew my kids, also how well I didn't in some areas. But it was a very good thing because now I see better what they need. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of them cried the whole time, some went straight to work, some thought it was knid of stupid.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made them do it anyway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been thinking a lot about making sure I know where they really are spiritually mentally, emotionally and physically. Things are pretty strange in this world of ours. I have had pain in my heart this week trying to figure out how to help others with their kids. I am not saying mine are perfect, or that I have perfect control. That would be a big misleading on my part. But I see the pain in others as their kids go directions you KNOW will cause them unnecessary pain. This unnecessary pain is so much different than what I dealt with watching Dallin with his eagle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My heart breaks as I see the kids tangled in a web of pornography and drug addiction. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can we have hope for the future, when those that are the future have lost their hope?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can I make sure my contribution to the future understand how bright, beautiful and special they are?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How can I make sure they are strong enough to choose what is best when all around them are choosing what is easiest?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am trying to do all of that, am I succeeding?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week told me I am working the right direction to help that happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a person of faith, and I know that the Lord has felt and feels the pain and stress I feel in this journey. I hope to continue to enjoy the journey, to keep things in their proper perspective and help guide these individuals to success in whatever form they choose. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope to put my arms around those that have pain and help them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope to be a better person tomorrow than I am today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big Week. . . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade's Team</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Won!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He could have had wings that night, he was so darn happy.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Mom with an attitude here for a moment)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was getting a tad bit jumpy. The enitre first half went by and Mac didn't play except for kick off and kick off return.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did learn something I didn't know though.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) He is a better team player than I thought. He didn't say a word about not playing the first half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He can CATCH! He was helping the QB warm up the first half. Had no clue he can catch. Must work on that. . . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) HE CAN THROW! He threw every pass back with a perfect spiral. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gotta find him a football position that requires less thinking.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He does amazing athletic things when he isn't thinking too hard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seems to be a family problem. . . </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On my birthday we drove up and got the 'before' pictures.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The project was to take things like this and install stairs to prevent injury. They have had several injuries at Camp Cumorah. It gets wet, and people fall. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He got volunteers. He talked to them and planned what needed to be done.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see, an Eagle Project isn't about work, it is about leadership and planning. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was hard to watch him struggle, especially when he talked in front of groups and the inevitable brain freeze happened.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We didn't step in. We let him struggle. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scouts are told to 'leave no trace'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We left a BIG trace.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But we also left the campground a much safer place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Things I have learned:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) The Eagle is the ONLY award given by the Boy Scouts of America that can be taken away - at ANY time. If you don't continue to live to the standards you promise to live, they can and will take it away. I have seen it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) People want strong leadership. Strong leadership promotes hard work. Hard work promotes amazing results very quickly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Dallin will be an amazing Eagle Scout!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now we must finish the paperwork, and he must stand in front of the Board of Review and answer their questions and talk about his project. He will be asked about the scout law and the scout oath. He will be grilled.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thinking on his feet isn't easy for him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be hard for him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will worry and be stressed out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He will do it, and he will be better for it because life is hard. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We do hard things.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I were to be totally honest,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I could be in two places at once I would wish to be in three or four.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is just so much to do and dividing myself to hit the best things, since I cannot it all is never easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not sure I always get it right.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not sure I did it right this last week, but in the end everything worked out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade had a football game.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wish the coaches and the players would find a way to work together. The kids are trying, the coaches are trying but in the end they are all frustrated. It is not a good thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Emotions get wonky and things get worse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't do anything to fix it, but I will keep hoping and praying McCade is learning something from this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even if it is exactly how he doesn't want to act to others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We won't bother with the score, just drop some pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, see the wrap on the leg? It is ice. I guess he got tangled and got someone else's knee in the side of his. He wasn't really that hurt, but I think with the yelling and lopsided score and frustration he had just had enough.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shane went down to make sure he wasn't really hurt. After awhile I couldn't handle it anymore and told him if he was too hurt too play, that was his choice, BUT </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TO GET THE ICE OFF THAT KNEE!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He wasn't swollen. All that I was doing was stiffening up the bruise and slowing down the blood flow to help it heal. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I asked him to consider going back out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ice came off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He went out and played again, but not as hard as before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But he did get back out there.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, both McCade and Dallin had been pretty amazing that day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They both ran in the Spud Run 5K.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin ran it in 23:39 coming in 10th overall, and 2nd in the 11-18 age division. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McCade ran it in 24:06 coming in 14th overall, and 4th in the 11-18 age division.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pretty darn good!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why did I miss all this stuff?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I was at a doTERRA convention. It was AMAZING. I came back with a whole new perspective, ready to find balance in my life. I goal is to sit down with each of the kids and make sure I understand what their goals are, what their priorities are. For a long time I have just assumed I knew what they are. It occurred to me that the contention in the house may be that I am not looking at things from their perspective like I thought I was. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are going to find out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we are going to make goals as a family and work to help each other as well as ourselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also learned that my current eating plan is probably responsible for every health issue I have. I currently can't eat anything other than dark leafy greens, fruits and whole grains without feeling guilty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NEVER FEAR!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure my over reaction will fade within the next few week and I will continue my love affair with brownies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also learned a lot of useful information about essential oils. It is very nice to feel empowered about my health and the health of my family.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ugh, here we are already several weeks into school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I want my summer back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a very mild winter in Idaho last year, and I am seriously worried we are going to buried in snow this year. I am not looking forward to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had our traditional summer vacation to California, it was so very needed. Shane didn't get to go for very long, and Tacey left early because she was worried about missing cheer practice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dallin, McCade & I stayed for a solid 10 days. It was wonderful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But after we had been back a few weeks, and in an attempt to keep my tan and spend one more lazy summer day we went to Jensen's Grove. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is the Idaho version of a beach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took the kids right before school started for one last lazy-do-nothing day before the schedules of school kicked in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mac, my water baby was the only one who truly went swimming.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(I LOVE the water, but I restrict myself to pools & the Ocean. Those smaller bodies of water feel slimey to me. . . and when I can see the fish swim up to my leg I get weirded out. I can handle dolphins and sea lions, not so hip on those guppy-looking things.</span></div>
