A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF...

SUNDAY

Ducks are BACK!

I love this boy (coon hat and all)!

Neither of us looks too thrilled, but I am hanging on to these few-and-far-between moments while they last!

Monday

How often do  you find a score of a deal on a scout uniform? Jacob and I spent Monday night searching for a costume for his Wax Museum on Thursday. We made a stop at the scout store (Blue and Gold on Wednesday) and found this discontinued uniform! Couldn't find a Lebron James jersey... too bad he didn't choose Lord Baden-Powell.

Wednesday

Jacob and Gavin Shepherd

Good friends are hard to come by these days...my kids are blessed with good friends right in our neighborhood!

 

 

 

 

 

Jacob received his Webelos award tonight!

Wednesday Night

Jordan finally got a job! Ice cream is in the genes.  He is working at an ice cream store called Sub-Zero at the Provo Mall.  Sub Zero uses Liquid Nitrogen to instantly freeze ice cream, at -321 degrees Fahrenheit! Tonight was his first night of work. After 10 minutes of training, he was left to man the store by HIMSELF! The manager came back later and gave him another 10 minute training on how to close the store and left him to shut down.  

Should he be concerned?

He's thrilled with the uniform, though!

Later Wednesday night 

(or should I say Thursday am)

Still no Lebron James uniform...so Jordan took Jacob to Walmart and got a blank jersey.

(Thank heavens for Walmart and thank heavens for Jordan!)

A new jersey, some iron-on's, and voila'...wax museum costume ready to go.

Give him a break, it's 12:00 am!

Thursday

 5th Grade Wax Museum...

Jacob read a biography on Lebron James. The 5th graders dressed up like the person they researched and invited the school and parents to come walk through their "museum". They chose a "pose" and held it as long as they could. Jacob was one of the lucky ones and didn't end up nearly passing out!

Albert Einstein meet Lebron James...

Friday

Jordan returned from the State DECA competition in Salt Lake. Over 1,000 students from all over the state attended the two-day event. Jordan and his best friend Skyler have participated in DECA since they were sophomores. Tonight he came home with 2 medals-one for being a finalist and the other for placing in the top ten. They competed in the "Travel and Tourism" category. Woot, woot! :)

There is nothing I love more than these kids! 

The camera did not document the many other events of this week i.e. Kaylie's two days of high-fever, headaches, and chills, Kyle's 5 man domination in the stake basketball tournament (Jordan and Sky couldn't make it because of DECA), 2 visiting teaching appointments, 1 home teaching visit, 2 doctors visits, and lots of homework!
