Ist week of High School

I don't ever remember having such a busy week as this past one for Shandraya. School started off great and then it got really busy when Shandraya decided to run for Vice President of the Freshman class. There was tons to do to ensure that she got recognized  and voted for. Posters to make a speech to give, a catchy phrase that people would remember her and vote for her. Hand outs to make and Summit dance on top of all of that. She was so tired last Thursday night that she fell asleep on the couch and then got up and went to her bed around 6:30 and didn't even remember going downstairs.  Know one knew where she was when dance girls called and said that she hadn't shown up. We all thought that Doug had taken her. Needless to say she missed that dance class. But the good news is that she made Vice President of the Freshman class at Mesa High School. She has to be at school at 6:45 every morning and that morning was an extra early morning that started at 5:45am.She is super busy with the dance (Howdy Hop) last Friday night at school, seminary opening social, dance classes and school, Mia Maid activities. I don't know how she does it all and keeps a smile on her face. We sure do love her. I think that Trevor and Tiffany were probably just as busy but I don't remember. High School is such a great time in kids lives if they make the most of it. Some do some don't. On top of her busy week we all got to enjoy Tiffany and family here during most of the commotion. I will have to post some cute picture real soon. We loved  having them here and sure did enjoy the grand kids. They grow up so fast.

Mission call

Caleb got his mission call in the mail on Thursday August 2, 2011. Not sure what he was waiting for to open it but he finally decided to on Friday evening. He is going to the Tampa, FL mission. He reports to the MTC on November, 16th. We are so excited and proud of him.

Braces off, yeepee!!

Shandraya got her braces off this morning. She was supposed to get them off on Friday, but the orthodontics office called yesterday and they had a cancellation so Shandraya could come in a couple days early. She was so excited when I told her. Here is her before and after pictures. So fine.
