If it wasn't one thing...it was another. Of course I need to start the month off with what is the BIGGEST thing of ALL...Well maybe the BIGGEST MIRACLE of ALL...
...Seth's Baptism!!
Yep, he made it! I know some of you had your doubts, ok-ok, mainly his father and mother, that this day would come. that he would even survive to the ripe old age of 8~BUT he did and on Saturday Jan 2, 2010, our last baby was baptised by his dad (tear~tear)... it was a nice day. His grandpa Waldron spoke and after, all his family and friends got together at our house for a 6 foot sub. And of course the traditional gift of scriptures was given (boy are we so predictable as parents).
With Seth turning 8 he started scouts and on the 5th, Seth had his very first Pine Wood Derby. This was Crazy. NEVER send an 8 year old up to his toys and say "go look at your cars and pick one you want to copy." He came back with one that was the sleek sports car. Dad was all over it, of course the design got modified a little. Oh and talk about giving mom a HEART ATTACK!! So "THE BOYS" are out side working on the car with the dremel tool. Theres noise going and everything ~ still noise going when DJ comes in and sits down. Did I mention there is noise going. All of the sudden I realize that the noise is STILL going on and DJ IS IN THE HOUSE. SETH IS OUTSIDE WITH THE TOOLS, that are making noise! I look at DJ and say are you CRAZY!! He says Josh is out there and he has the on/off switch in his hands...like thats suppose to make me feel better! SCARY!! Anywho, Seth had fun at his first pinewood derby. He didn't win, but he didn't care and that's what its all about!!
Josh got to go on his MAKE-UP hike this month. You see a few months ago the scouts went camping and were going to go hiking, which they sorta did, but they sorta got rained out. He looked like a drowned rat when he returned home back then. So this time the weather was perfect and he had fun with his dad. He also had his Induction ceremony on the 10th into the National Junior Honor Society. It was short and to the point, which I liked! Josh was really on a roll this month, cuz he made Honor Roll (get it roll and roll... ok so it wasn't that funny...give a gal a break already)! (He really is a smart kid, when he wants to be, he just hides it well). Right now he's off playing Boy Scout at a day camp earning, I hope, lots of badges!
Cayla's life has been crazy this month, but looking at her life, it's crazy every month. The last few weeks she's been going over to a friends house who is currently taking the missionary discussions. Which is pretty cool. Earlier in the month, the cheerleaders had to go and cheer for the P F Changs Rock N Roll Marathon...oh my heck, you should have seen the outfit she had on, I wish I had gotten a pic of it, it was unbelievable! She's had SAT Test this month and Scholarship dinners, Student council, dance, plus cheer and YW's, speaking at other schools for NHS...and so on and so on and so on. Right now she is up in Prescott at a POM competition. Really how does she fit it all in, cuz you know I haven't figured it out yet, and she still manages to get to seminary. Well, it's no wonder she is sick all the time!
Now for all of your sports fans this will be cool to you but for those of you that don't care for sports or should I say football then you just wont care!!! DJ's month was busy with Football games!! Not like what you think. Yes he watched some but his was mainly working them. And of course he worked the BIG one for AZ -- THE FIESTA BOWL!! He was put in charge of protecting one of the coaches and was right there on the field.
