Jackman Family Summer

I know I sent a text, but I want the whole world to know how excited I am. lol  I just passed 24 credits in 5 months and have submitted my application for January 2013 Student Teaching Cohort! 
Ben is down to 1 job this summer.  We are still killer busy.  I was hoping summer vacation would be just that, a vacation.  Morgan has a summer job babysitting, Carter has a summer job cleaning, both have summer games for soccer coming up, Carter has piano and Morgan has swim team.  They are both planning a few days in Idaho this summer after girl's camp and scout camp.  I let each of the kids pick a free summer movie, and a couple of library days thinking that a few wouldn't be too bad...I have 5 kids!!!  Needless to say, I am just as busy as before school was out but at least I have Ben home in the mornings and am done with school for a month. 
Logan had her first dance performance and did great.  Her group had the shortest dance, but they did actual ballet and not just twirling and jumping in tu-tus.  It was nice. :)
The fire in Hurricane had Ben stuck at work for an extra 5 hrs waiting for the word to evacuate, but all ended well.  They even escorted him down the mountain's closed roads so he could come home and sleep a few hours before he headed to work the next morning. :)
I finally got to sing my finished version of my Faith song from my personal progress Faith project.  It went well.  I have a fabulous young musician in my ward who was able to help me finish it and get it sounding right.
One of these days I am not going to be busy and I will have nothing to say...but until that day, I can't wait to see all my wonderful family and hold my new nephew!!!  ***Oh my sweet Wesley!*** Love you all!

Clark Family 2012

School is out.

Brooklyn had 6th grade recognition on Tuesday, and she received the Gold recognition award from the President of the United States.  In order to earn this she had to maintain a 3.5 GPA from 4-6th grade, and score advanced on the North Dakota State Assessment Test in Mathematics or Science. We are so proud of her, and she was grinning from ear to ear.

Chase had his 8th grade recognition today.  He was recognized for his activities in Middles School. Football, Track, Basketball, Student Council, and Honor Roll.  This year he has gone from a boy into a young man.  Shaving, voices changes, and more maturity.

Talli is officially done with Preschool, and it is on to all day Kindergarten next year.  I have mixed feelings about this moment.

Boston and Alora are losing their best friends this year. They are moving to Rigby with their mom, who is also my best friend.  We aren't nearly as excited about the rest of the year as we were. :(  It has been a great year though and we are very excited the summer.

Phil is moving into his new office next week. I am excited for him to have a quiet place to work especially during summer time when all the kids are home.  He can still work at home if he wants, but it is great for him to have his own space.....where no one stills his tape and their office supplies LOL!

I am headed to Spokane tomorrow to spend the week with Lacie, and her family.  I am taking Brooklyn and Alora with me.  They saved up enough money to make up the difference in cost from me driving with them as opposed to riding the train. 

This next school year will see Chase enter High School, Brooklyn enter Middle School, Alora in 5th grade, Boston 2nd Grade, and Talli as a Kindergartner.  Leaving me home alone all school day.  I have no idea what I am going to do with myself.

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 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

• 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!

Christmas surprise!

Thank you Lacie for posting!!!  I have been waiting to see him after gummie bear stage. 
We had the most wonderful and relaxing Christmas break, and our Christmas blessings were phenomenal!  As soon as I get the camera back from walmart, I will post the pictures of our Christmas Playhouse.  For those of you that don't know, Salisbury Homes has a program/giveaway each year, and someone nominated our family to receive one of the two playhouses.  Somehow, we were selected 'as deserving' of it, and on Friday, 2 days before Christmas, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Kevin, Dustin, Holly, and their two girls, Camden, a guy named Logan, a few other people from Salisbury that I didn't know, and a giant crane showed up and lifted a huge playhouse into our front yard.  Little Ben asked if they could sleep in it before it was even on the ground!  The kids were so excited!  Me and Ben too, I have to admit.  It is as tall as my 15 passenger van, has 5 windows, a little door, and power!!!  It has a front light and an inside light and an outlet inside.  It is bright purple with yellow trim.  After they set it in place and the kids were running in and out of it, they loaded it with presents!  My kids were so amazed!  They just kept coming!  We got some of the nicest things!  My husband looked so nice on Christmas Morning.  He got an entire dress outfit: a shirt with real cuff link things, a beautiful tie, super nice slacks, dress socks, a belt and black dress shoes...it was SO nice!!!  I seriously got the cutest boots I have ever seen!  Kayla agreed and let me know that she would wear them for me.  I got a beautiful flowy blue dress, a really pretty/sparkly headband, a silky shirt, jeggings (ya, I'm old and didn't even know there was such a thing lol), and more stuff that I was pampered with.  My kids all got similarly pampered.  I know Logan was so thrilled!  She got sparkles!!!  Skirt, shirts, boots...all sparkly!  She was in heaven and tries to wear some of it everyday.  Carter got duct tape...it was the only thing he freaked out about as he opened it.  I think his exact words were..."I love Santa!"  Morgan got music, perfume, a pair of head phones (not ear buds that hurt her ears) and things that I-think-I'm-a-teenager-even-though-officially-not-yet daughters love.  All my kids got at least 2 pair of shoes this year too.  The boys got cool stuff like footballs, Legos, things like that...plus clothes that they always need. So we have big plans for our playhouse.  We are going to start by covering the windows with Plexiglas to keep the weather out...then the kids just might move into it. lol
