February on trial

Deanna's class put February on Trial today. Deanna was the prosecuting attorney, who thought that the month of February wasn't pulling it's weight in the calendar. Unfortunately, her side lost after the onslaught of witnesses for the defense, including Abraham Lincoln, a boy scout, the groundhog, Miss Valentine and George Washington. Better luck next next time Ms. Prosecutor!

Happy Valentines Day!

On the radio this morning they were asking people to call in and tell about when they fell in love with their partner. Every since I heard the question this morning I've been thinking about it. I fell in love with Jason on a Debate trip to Arizona. A whole big group of us were in a hotel room and Jason bought a movie from the hotel. The movie was Ghost (that dates us doesn't it!) We were all talking and getting to know each other better and I realized what a great guy Jason is. Somehow (I think our friends did some switching) we ended seated next to each other in the RV on the way home. We got to know each other more and decided to make a go of dating.

But that's not when I really fell for him. I really fell for him a few weeks later. He was working at Peter Piper Pizza in Sugarhouse. I told him I was coming out to visit him and he made me a special pizza that said I "heart" U. That was the best surprise! Happy Valentine's Day!
This guy was sitting on my chair this morning when I came downstairs. He's been keeping me company all day. My hubby is so sweet! I love you, Jason!

Did you hear me scream....

...when our girls won? I was sure that it was heard all over the world! The Li'l Devils, Dare Devils and Heat Wave teams all won their age divisions. Both the Li'l Devils and the Dare Devils also won the Grand Champion for their level.

Our girls had some stiff competition, a group called Cheer Tech. According to the score sheets, they only won by 1.5 points over that group. We stayed to watch the She-Devils do their routine, but we don't know if they've won yet or not.

I'll be updating the blog when I get home. Jason's computer doesn't like my SD card, so I can't upload any pictures yet.

Congrats to all our girls! GO DEVILS!!

This is the performance from Bingham High School. They did a great job. Our Li'l Devils are the best!



We are busy preparing for our trip to Vegas. So between getting the prep done for that and trying to celebrate B'Elana's birthday, life has been extra hectic. I'm hoping that things settle down after we get back (Yeah, right!)

Happy Birthday, BK!

Happy Birthday, B'Elana Kathryn! She turned 7 today. B'Elana was born directly on her due date at 10:28 a.m. It's lucky we were at the hospital, because once she decided she was coming, she was there! Grandma Sue and Grandpa Bud came out to Iowa to see our bundle of joy. Of course, it was also during one of Iowa's famous ice storms and there was about 2 inches of ice on everything. But Grandpa Bud and Grandma Sue both agreed that BK was worth it!

So far to celebrate her birthday we took her to see the Hannah Montana 3-D movie with her friend Kylie, took her to the Grille from Ipanema, and had ice cream cake with the family on Sunday. The Hannah Montana movie was really good. All of us enjoyed the movie, but the 3-D glasses started bugging all of us toward the end.

Responsible Coaching Award

We haven't seen the reports that were supposed to be in the newspaper today. I'll add those when they become available.

This is what it says in the article:
Coach Jason, as he is known to his players, parents, and just about everyone else, is one of those coaches you always want your child to play for. Though he has no children playing Jason has been an avid supporter of youth football for over 15 years across multiple organizations. His focus is on teaching the players how to be responsible people first and football players seconds. His philosophy is outlined in his three goals for every season. First that the kids have fun, Second that the kids complete the season safely, and third that they learn the skills necessary to play football. His teams have gone undefeated and have gone season's without a win, but regardless of the win/loss percentage the kids love and respect him and put their hearts into each and every game. Regardless of the situation he treats the kids, their parents, and other's on the field with respect and courtesy. He teaches the players how to play clean and courteous, and you can see it in how they play. Coach Jason's dedication to teaching the youth of his community how to be great people and great players is why he's universally loved throughout the league and the community.
