Finishing October



Pete and Kendal had a team dinner on the 20th and got to celebrate the seniors that night. Ttheir district meet on the 21st. Kendal did great and got a season best in her run! She's had a good season physically, but needs to work on her mental toughness. Pete did well, but got a cramp on the last hill so he didn't get the finish he hoped for! He had a really good season with a lot of growth and has a solid determination for what he wants to achieve next year! Both Casey and I got out of work a bit early and grabbed Alice so we could be out there to cheer the kids on. We're so very proud of their hard work and dedication to this season!!






Alice had a Halloween activity days party on the 23rd. She had fun getting into costume and playing games with her group. She's also had practice on Monday and Wednesday's for her travel basketball league. Between bell club, basketball, and piano Alice will be the busiest after school this winter. 


Kendal gathered some cross country friends and she Sophie, and Sadie have their speeches for their class in my library on the 24th. We carved pumpkins later that day. It was an easy going day at home so we had the kids do their pumpkins earlier than usual. 


Alice had her primary program on the 25th. She did a wonderful job on her part and songs! Casey was up with his class and I helped with a couple of songs from the audience! I love the program, the primary kids being such an amazing spirit with their music and words!

This past week was parent teacher conferences. Casey went to Kendal and Pete's before his basketball open gym. Both are doing well. Kendal has her usual straight A's, and a lot of stress with a big load of classes this year. Pete is learning the hard way to keep in top of his school work and figuring out he has to redo tests when he should've probably studied better before. Alice got her usual report that she's a smart little lady, but can get chatty (which her teacher says she gets her work done so quickly that's when she gets bored and chatty.) 

Alice, Pete and I went to Tubbs with some friends on the 30th. The weather was iffy and had rained, plus the other schools in the area were in so we had the the run of the place. The boys took off in the maze, and the little girls went another, while us moms meandered around to we got out. That evening Casey went off to the district football game, Kendal and I watched a movie together at home, and Alice and Pete went to the Hunts for dinner and a movie night!

Halloween! Pete joined the Dansie's Boys and went over to Pocatello to watch the state cross country races. He had fun cheering on the team and got back mid afternoon. Kendal headed out to Alycin's for the night. They made dinner and treats, then watched a movie! Pete headed out with buddies and watched a movie at Austin's house. Casey's had a cold so I took Alice out trick or treating. It rained the whole time, but Alice wanted to keep going and we hit up most of Ballard's way for some goodies! She watched a Muppet show with Casey and I before bed. Thankfully we got some extra sleep with daylight savings. 


Some extra pictures from the lady two weeks.
