Steelers

Chase got to play Tailback against the Rage. He carried the ball about 5 times and had several good gains. This was the first time he played tailback in a game. His Coach said he is one of the fastest on their team. This was the first game in the playoffs and Chase's team won 44 - 0.

Chase Moore #85

Chase is playing football this year and is on the Steelers. He plays Safety and is making a tackle on a Cardinal player.

This is Chase's first interception of the year. He was so excited (as was Dad)! He took off and ran about 25 to 30 yards.

Way to go Chase! (This is his run after his interception)

3rd Grade Field Trip

Today I went with Taige's third grade class to the Arboretum.  We learned a lot about plants, enjoyed lunch together and watched a bird show.  It was a lot of fun.  We even got to quietly watch while they trained a bird (crow) to put plastic in the recycle bin and dollar bills in the paper bin.  It was amazing how smart the bird was! During the bird show, a hawk flew right over our heads; so close that it's wing brushed against my right eye!

 

Do you know how to tell the difference between a Spruce and a Fir tree? You need to reach out and shake hands (needles) with it.  If it is a Spruce then it will be Spikey.  If it is a Fir, then it'll feel soft and Friendly!

This is Taige and Spencer Larson - a good friend from both his class at school and church.

Kailan's 14!!!

Kailan loves the Jason Wolfe series.  This is the 5th book! She received birthday cards and money in the mail from Grandpa Randy, Grandma Cindy and Grandma Jackie.  She's looking forward to a shopping trip!   For breakfast, she requested hashbrowns and eggs.  When she arrived to school, she said she was ambushed by lots of her friends.  They decorated her locker with wrapping paper, brought her cupcakes, a big symphony candy bar, a scarf, etc.  During history (3rd period) she was called down to the front desk and there were her Beehive Y.W. leaders.  They brought her rice crispy treats wrapped up super cute (see picture) and sang happy birthday to her.  She will really miss them.  At the same time she is super excited to now be a Mia-Maid!  Her dad brought her lunch (she requested a spicy chicken sandwich from McDonald's).  For dinner she had a date with mom and dad to Oregano's.  It was her first time eating there and she loved it!  She ordered Alfredo and the large cheesy bread.  Mark ordered the same.  I had a really yummy salad.  At the end they brought her a cookie - 1/2 macadamia nut and 1/2 chocolate chip with ice cream on top.  Following dinner she played in an orchestra concert at NPA.  She is doing well with her cello.  After her concert we came home and had strawberry cake and strawberry ice cream with all of the family and she opened a few more presents.  She had a great day!
