Homecoming

It is homecoming weekend for Westside. Westide beat Omaha North at the homecoming game last night. It was a good game and I enjoyed watching Dawn and Clayton march in the half time show. Today was pretty busy as Dawn and Clayton had a band competition in Papillion today. They did a great job even though it decided to start raining on them. We left the competition, got home and Dawn had to get ready for homecoming. She went with a bunch of her friends. I remember when I was in high school you didn't go to dances if you didn't have a date, I have to say I really like the idea of her just going with friends instead of with a date, I am not ready to have a daughter dating! Overall we have enjoyed this weekend, homecoming week is always fun, with the parade, pep rally, game and dance.

First Class down, many more to go!

I finished up my first class this week and passed with a 97% A! I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot that is helping me out at work. I registered for fall and am taking 2 classes- Introduction to Early Childhood Education and English Comp 2. My English Comp class is online and I am a little nervous about it. I hope I do well.

Going back to school

I have made the decision to go back to school and get my degree. I am going to Metropolitan Community College to get my Early Childhood Educator degree. It is an associates degree. I will decide after if I want to then transfer to UNO to get my teaching certificate. I am excited and nervous at the same time as it has been a long time since I went to school.

Winter Formal

Dawn had winter formal at school on Saturday February 13. She had a great time and went with 5 of her friends. They went to Applebee's first for dinner then I drove them to the dance.

Sorry!!! I am bad at posting

I know it has been months since I posted last, sorry!!!
We have been busy with band concerts, church activities and snow and more snow! We survived 2 blizzards so far this winter, the kids enjoyed 6 snow days already this year when we usually only have 2 a year. So different than when we were in Utah and didn't have a single snow day.
Dawn is enjoying her first year at high school and Michael his first year in middle school.

The older kids started church basketball last week and are all doing well. Both teams won this week so they were excited and Dawn even had 1 point!!!
Colin turned 5 December 15 and now thinks he can do anything since he is now 5!



We had a quiet Christmas at home this year due to a blizzard that kept us snowed in.
