Its TIme for Picture Catch Up!

We shall begin where we left off. November 30th Abby... Now you see them...
Now you Don't! Big day for her...No more braces! When she went back to school that afternoon she swore the first one to see her smile would be her lifelong "friend"! She was able to pull it off and he was the first one to get to see Abby Roo with pearly whites! Abby at the first level of Reflection competition. Her Award of Excellence at Canyon View. Abby was asked to perform and demonstrate for The Arts Delegation from China. She loved it. The spirit was incredible in the room. Abby was asssigned to work with this woman. Abby was given a little Panda bear straight from China. You can see it in the bag in the next picture. Abby was the only dancer to be given anything .We are so grateful that she has been given this opportunity not once but twice. Both times her testimony has grown. She bore her testimony and became quite emotional about her passion for the Art of Dance, how she realizes that it is a way to share the Gospel in a way that breaks all language barrier's.
More to come....

Ponder

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
Jeremiah 6:16
Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow is yet to come.
We have only today.
If we help our children to be what they should be today,
they will have the necessary courage to face life with greater love. Mother Theresa

No Great for 200th!

Happy 200th post for me! I have yet to download about 337 pictures of all that has gone on but I felt for journal purpose here are some updates:
Our heart felt prayers have been for our dear Uncle Gruff1 We hope you are doing much better and resting,(as well as you can with Super Sam at your side) now that you are home.
Dallin is the Pinewood Derby Reigning Champion for the 2nd year in a row. For those of you who do not know Dallin he works hard at perfection. Both years D and Scott spent 40 or more hours doing research on what makes the fastest car. Looks as though studying pays off. As well as building the car TOGETHER!!!!! It was exciting for us as last year was his Cougar mobile and this year was the Collie Car! Unfortunately his heart was broken the next day when his Hero's team fell short of the Super Bowl Victory...Next year Colts!
Dallin also made it through the grueling suspense and tryouts for a Super League Baseball Team and we were notified Tuesday HE MADE IT.
First Team Meeting MONDAY! !!
Goodbye to all Saturdays from here to July! So FUN!!!! WE Love Baseball!
Abby was invited to perform her peice in the danceworks concert at BYU this Friday!
Emma is loving life as Daddy's little princess! She SO has him wrapped around her finger!
AS for Scott still fighting off whatever seems to have him sick constantly but he always manages to be in the many places he needs to be. We love him So very much!
I start on the new adventure as Miss Orem Assistant Director next week Yea!
Of course both girls are so excited!
And Last but not least WE ARE MOVING! Our home is up for sale! Any takers!
We have loved our home but as I enjoyed muchly " Jonah and the great fish" The other night sometimes we do things that are hard and we should always go where the Lord needs us to be. After 5 months of prayers and heart ache for me. We went to church in what would be our new ward and felt very strongly that that is where we needed to be. SO keep us in your prayers as we embark on this new chapter in our lives!
I promise pictures next time!!!!
