Caroline has had her learner’s permit for several months but she hasn’t been very excited to go out driving and get her required 40 hours of road time in. She certainly doesn’t seem as excited to drive as I remember myself being. She’s been to the driving range a few times for Drivers Ed and… Continue reading Caroline Has Her Learner’s Permit

Week in review
This past week was a busy one for the family with the kids in school, and Young Women and Scouts, and volunteering at the hospital. Of course, the highlight of my week was the home opener for BYU against Texas. This year we are glad that Grandpa is finally retiring now that he’s turned 70… Continue reading Week in review
Science Fair
Instead of our family’s usual paper-towel experiment, Caroline came up with an experiment to see how well washable markers actually wash out. She had a good time shopping for supplies with Nancy and preparing the experiment. It was a good experiment but it seems that all the markers wash out pretty well so it was… Continue reading Science Fair

She mentioned that she had to go to her son’s… Continue reading Caroline’s 5th grade program
Caroline’s Mississipi State Report
I also went today to Caroline’s class to see her float she made for her state report. She has been working for a couple of weeks on it and was excited for me to see her hard work. All the kids in her class were sitting in a circle by their desks and showed off… Continue reading Caroline’s Mississipi State Report
2011 Spring Recital
The kids had their 2011 Spring Recital at a local music store. The action on the recital hall piano was much stiffer than the kids are used to so they had a hard time with it even though this recital they were probably better prepared than most. They didn’t want me to post these videos… Continue reading 2011 Spring Recital
Ice Skating with Caroline
The past few years the Activity Days group has had a daddy-daughter ice skating activity. I enjoy ice skating, although my ankles certainly don’t appreciate it the next day. In the past I’ve gone with Emily and Anne. This year was Caroline’s turn. Caroline is a rather timid ice skater at first but eventually she… Continue reading Ice Skating with Caroline
