But I think I am finally able to get a few pictures posted.
We have had a lot of activities this month.
This is my "baby" girl looking way too grown up. She is dressed for a performance of singing & playing her flute at the Jr./Sr. High School potato-bar fundraiser earlier this month. (Zane also played, but the pictures didn't turn out--just the video). Zane plays the trumpet & both Brienna & Zane are talented musicians!
She had her friend help her with her hair--got it crimped. She looked beautiful. My camera wasn't cooperating, though. So I told her she needs to get all dressed up again soon!I didn't get to see all of the performance because I had a scout meeting--but I did hear about 45 mintues of their performance.
Cute Emmalee getting ready for bed--she too is growing up way too quickly!
Here is Brienna at the 4-H Awards Banquet. She was in 4 activities, and earned blue ribbons. I need to get pictures on here of them with their projects now!
This was Callum's first year--I think he was involved in 8 classes/projects. He was excited & had a wonderful year.
Zane also took 8 classes/projects. He would have loved to do more, but we were gone for some of the classes.
These kids took more than 5 classes/projects.
Callum worked really hard on his cake decorating (1st year)--and received the trophy for any year of cake decorating. (I will try to post the pictures of the projects later). I love his grin!!
These are the kids that received trophies in their categories.
Saturday (the 24th of Oct.) was Ethan's last game of the season (before play-offs). But it was in West Yellowstone. I decided I really wanted to go and watch him play. I have enjoyed watching him, & it is his last year to play. So I had planned on taking Brienna with me to help watch Ben & Emmalee. Rusty & the boys were going to be deer hunting (last day of that season). So as I was loading the van, Rusty pulls up with the boys. He decided he didn't want me to drive "by myself" with the little ones. So we changed plans, & we took everyone except for Brienna--who stayed home (she wasn't feeling that good).
So this is how Emmalee entertained herself on the way home--putting her leftover stickers all over her face & hair.
Ethan actually started in the center position--he has never played that position before this week. But there were a lot of sick kids last week, & the team rule is you miss playing 1 quarter of the game for every practice you miss. Since the center & back-up center were both sick during the week, the coach "taught" Ethan how to play center--snapping the ball to the quarterback.
Ethan played 2 quarters as center--and I think he did an outstanding job--especially because he had just learned how to play that position! He blocked really well & kept the other team away from our quarterback.
Our team didn't play up to their usual potential during the first half, so in the end we lost 32-38. So we placed 2nd in our conference, even though we have a better record than W. Yellowstone. Since some of our games (including when we won against W. Yellowstone) were not "conference" games, we are in 2nd place.
So that means we will be playing Reed Point, MT in Lima, MT (about 45 minutes from us) on Saturday (Halloween). And this week has the forecast of snow & cold (highs in the upper 30's). So that will be fun!!!Ethan was nice enough to get his picture taken with Callum & Emmalee after the game.
Coming next...........Senior day
