Muddy Spring Day

Parent Teacher Conference

Parent Teacher Conference

On Thursday of last week we went to Bailey's last Parent Teacher Conference. We knew there were no problems but we wanted to hear how AWESOME she is, and we did and it was fun. Stacy and I were so proud that our buttons almost popped on our shirt. She is doing so good and such a hard worker. We could not be prouder. She is taking a college Communication class and Mrs. Green asked her Special Ed teacher what she thought and she told her that Bailey could do it because she works so hard. Mrs. Green says she is doing so good and was proud of her too. Bailey told her that she was glad cause now she probably could do college and Mrs. Green responded no probably but that you can and made her repeat it back to her. It has been good for her self esteem.

Best Year of High School

This is an article that was in the War Cry

Best Year of High School by Lauren Birch

Entering high school, students expect tough classes, large amounts of homework and stressful teachers.  Others have more positive thoughts of dances, games and friends. Both can be expected from the 4 years students spend in high school. Making each year a huge mess of good and bad.  With different events happening for each grade, the question is asked: what is the best year of high school? It's a debate with many different opinions: Senior Bailey Lerwill says "My best year in high school was my junior year. Because that was the year that I really found out who I was and who I wanted to be". Although junior year was Lerwill's favorite year, that doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

Crazy Dogs

Crazy Guard Dogs. When we decided to get new dogs so that we could know what was sneaking around, we thought it was a good idea. They have been driving us crazy barking all night long. Yes it is still a good idea just kind of annoying. Yes we have had moose, fox, and coyotes, so it has been good. But the other day the dogs were going crazy. I looked out and found this one barking and carrying on over this.....the snow falling off of our roof.

Cute Bailey Boo

Aren't her cranky pants cute! Glad she really isn't cranky often.

Spring, Please Come!

Quilts

So excited to get the quilts all done. They turned out good I think. The star one is for Dalan and Stormi and the red one is Bailey's.

We got to go to Rexburg the other night and we went to Gringo's and ate. Yummy and fun to just be together as a family. I also made a table runner for Stormi's bridal shower. It was fun and turned out cute. Yesterday was our ward "family feud " and I made chili and bread. We also got to be one of the families to play. So Stacy bailey and I and John and Amanda helped us. We didn't do so hot. Good thing it isn't serious stuff. One cool thing is that when the other families were doing it one of the questions was what teen ager in our ward will be most likely to succeed and Bailey was the #1 answer. We are so proud of her. Dalan was not there because he left yesterday to go see Stormi. She is going through the temple this Friday. We will head that way tonight after school. Bailey doesn't have school tomorrow so it will work good. I will report on that after we get back.

Enjoying family time

Nice to have everyone home. Stacy and Dalan went on Friday night with Jeff and Ryan to Bozeman Montana to a gun show. I think they had a great time. Bailey and I did nothing all day long on Saturday. I have been sick for almost 10 days. It has kicked my hiney. I did go to church today. Hope my cough soon leaves. Today has been enjoyable just enjoying my family. Time is flying by so quickly. Dalan and Stormi mailed their announcements out. Stormi has her temple prep classes done SMS got her recommend and she is going through temple on Friday Bailey went to temple baptisms on Friday might and she was asked to take a minute or two and talk in sacrament meeting. She did such a great job. I am so proud of my family. Dalan had a huge week. Stacy and him taught the temple prep class this week for bishop. He taught his Sunday school class. Thirteen 12 and 13 yr olds. Heaven help him they are not the best behaved. Then he had to teach elders quorum he has also been studying for his cdl license. Tonight he got to Skype Stormi and gave her the last lesson because the guy who was teaching her couldn't. So this evening we have been to Alaska, wrestled alligators, watched snows chine racing and now watching bill riding. We also made chocolate milk shakes. So blesses and tired. We lost an hour today. It was crazy to have it been bright day light at six tonight.
