PSIA Competition 2010

Lucas and Jackson

Competing TCS 1st graders

On March 27, 2010, Jackson participated in the Private School Interscholastic Association competitions of Storytelling and Creative Writing. I was so proud of him. He worked for months to prepare and he did a great job! I got to watch him tell his story and his confidence simply amazed me. He is cool under pressure. Actually, he's just cool...period. :)

We ate at Bubba's in Jackson Hole for Bubba's birthday dinner.

Spring Break 2010! Jackson learned to snowboard and Savannah Grace learned to ski! Mommy and Daddy learned we are not as young and fearless as we use to be! We headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for our first ever family ski trip. I picked this ski town, not only because it is Jackson Hole, but because it has one of the top ranked kids ski schools in the country. Jackson's 2 day ski instructor happened to also have been Shaun White's ski coach when he was a little boy. She gave us all kinds of inside details about Shaun. I couldn't believe how brave Jackson and Savannah Grace were. I was so proud. By the end of the second day of ski school, Savannah Grace was doing jumps and totally beating me down the mountain. Jackson could do 360's on his board and actually make it down the mountain on the snowboard. Crazy! Lilly Claire went to ski daycare and had a great time! When Jody and I were younger...aka, no kids....we would ski as fast as we could from the top of the mountain down, over and over. This trip...and 3 kids later...we would leisurely ride the lift to the top and actually discuss over cupcakes whether we were going to ski the mountain or ride the lift back down. Ha! Funny how time changes things. The week was a great one, and the kids are already talking about going skiing again. I love that!

Sacred Piano Recital...February 2010

So far, Jackson and Savannah Grace are sticking with and loving piano. For the sacred recital, Jackson played "Jesus Loves Me" and Savannah Grace played "Oh How I love Jesus."

TCS Valentine's Day Party 2010

The most hilarious party ever!

I had the priviledge of helping plan partie's for Mrs. Langford's 1st grade class and I believe the best party we had was Valentine's Day. We filled the room with small balloons and gave each child a package to unwrap. Inside the package was a one piece pajama outfit. They had to put it on over their clothes and then stuff as many balloons into the outfit as possible. It was seriously the most hilarious thing ever. While the kids had a blast, the adults had even more fun laughing and watching.
