Jackman Update!

Ben

  •  He is working at LaVerkin Elem. in the mornings M-F.
  • He is working at DRA 3-11pm, M-F.
  • He delivers for Dominos on Saturday nights.
  • We still get to see him on Saturday mornings and Sundays...most of the time.
  • We just did 10 days of Valentine's for him, (adapted from Kayla's idea), and it was awesome!  Since we didn't get to go out on V-Day, I spent the time with the kids and we planned the great things for Ben, from long-stem noses to movie night, kiss jar to a red filled basket.  We had so much fun!
Tylia
  •  I get to teach a lesson in HeadStart tomorrow for my practicum (pre-student teaching).  I am so excited!   
  • I just finished my Faith song for my faith project in personal progress!  If you get a minute please listen to it. :)  http://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/7f4e0353df94a7beab09ed7a8232f6bad39ffd13
  • I am helping Carter's soccer team warm-up when the coach is running late.
  • I am trying to get a double semester done this time.
Morgan
  • The 1st soccer game is this Saturday!
  • Morgan completed her Faith project, she transposed We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet, and learned how to play it on the cello.
  • She goes to Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival with her orchestra tomorrow.
  • She and her friends now have a pair of red skinny jeans that are their 'traveling pants'
  • She turned 13, so she now has an email and a facebook.
  • She is also on the YW basketball team.  It is a new experience for her, and she mostly likes it.
Carter
  • Carter's first soccer game is this Saturday as well...of course they are both in town, 10.5 hrs. apart.
  • He also has a scout camping trip this Fri./Sat., so he will miss it, and we will have to hike as a family using a compass and map...for five miles.  He almost has his 2nd and 1st class. :)
  • He just had his piano recital, and grandpa came.  He is in percussion at school, so he rocked a LOT while he counted and played.  It was great.
  • He is spending some time with his Papa after school a couple days a week and helping prune and get the farm ready for spring.
Logan
  • She is taking ballet and is learning very quickly.  She bounces in everything she does, so maybe she should go with Jazz next time. lol
  • She is working on her last 2 Articles of Faith, and doing great in Activity Days.
  • She is a great helper and loves to cook with me.
  • She is starting to hold her ground and develop her pre-pre-teen emotions...yay! lol
  • Still singing in the choir! 
Benjamin
  • Has been getting headaches everyday at school around the same time.  We narrowed it down to his eyesight and he got checked today.  His super tough, flexible titanium glasses get here sometime in the next two weeks.
  • Spring wrestling started and he is loving every minute of it.
  • I spend a lot of time in Ben's class getting my hours for school, and working on the class' fluency.
  • Making a lot of progress on his speech.  His R's are coming along great!
Balian
  • He also started wrestling and seems to have a lot of intuition and natural movement that only appears while he's on the mat.
  • I get to teach his class tomorrow and he is so excited!
  • He got a haircut, by me...it's sad.  I dropped him off for school and he came right back out and said, "See mom, my teachers said it's not awful!" haha
Love you all and miss you!
