Middle School Sing Along

You all know that Christmas time is such a busy time of year. This year I have been a little down you could say. Not in the mood really to do Christmas stuff and all. Maybe lack of snow or mounds of things that kept piling up that I just keep putting off. So every day Tanner would practice his viola and play his songs. Well last Monday I did get the tree put up, with 10 days to spare before Christmas. We all went to Temple Square and saw the lights. I have not seen them in years. My children have never seen them. Last Saturday we went to a Christmas concert. But I still could not seem to get the Christmas spirit. Well I am happy to say that I have found it. I went to Tanners school today. And they did a sing-a-long. Then I realized I have not been singing any Christmas songs. I did not join the choir and I have been a humbug with songs when they would play on the radio. So now I have 1 week to celebrate and then take the tree down and return to normal what ever that may be. Merry Christmas to all of you.

Graduation from N.O.V.A

Tyler Graduated from the NOVA program this week. It is kind of like the DARE program but a little more involved. The officers come into the school every Wednesday for the past 15 weeks for an hour and they do hands on experiments. They wore glasses that made them see as if they were drunk. They did rockets. They even did a frog experiment. Tyler loved these two officers. The one on the left is Deputy Douglas and he live down the street from us and we go camping with. Lots of fun with that family and the other is Deputy Oppenshaw and Tanner had him last year. Just nice officers. I am so glad for this program. The children really learn from them.

This is Tyler's teacher Mr. Torrey and Deputy Oppenshaw and Douglas.

Good job Tyler. We Love you so much!!!
