Busy Prom Saturday

VERY busy day today!  Tonight, Brittany went to Castle View’s Prom with Austin.  They doubled with Sierra and  Dallin.  Before that we hurried and went over to Andrew Ahlstrom’s open house for his mission.  The Ahlstrom’s are friends of ours and she is in the Stake Relief Society Presidency with Angela.  This morning, Kirstyn and Angela had a young women’s service project (Project Recycle).  Zach and I started building a loft in the garage as a play place for the boys.

Brittany had a GREAT time at the prom.  They all looked so good and we took a ton of pictures of them.

The after-prom party was pretty cool as well.   They rented out an entire fun center with ice skating, broom hockey, all kinds of activities and tons of food!  I went and helped out from 11:00 to 3:30am.  I got home at about 3:45 and crashed.  🙂

Great Easter Weekend!

We had a GREAT Easter weekend this weekend!  Saturday we had our Easter egg hunt and then spent some time coloring eggs.  The boys and Kirstyn especially had fun doing this…

Sunday we had a great Easter sacrament meeting.  When we got home, we took pictures of the kids and the boys looked REALLY cute in their new Easter outfits.  🙂

We missed having Sarah with us for the pictures, but we have some great shots of her so you can check them out on http://sisterhalliday.blogspot.com.

Castle Rock Stake Teacher Appreciation Dinner

Tonight, the Stake held their annual teacher appreciation dinner for all the high school seniors.  Angela had to go to YW, so I took Brittany.  Had a GREAT time!  I love these kinds of events because I don’t think that we show appreciation to our teachers nearly enough.  They work so hard for our kids.  Brittany nominated Mr. Schneider from Metea and obviously he couldn’t come, so she had to go up front by herself to accept the plaque on his behalf.  🙂  We’re going to get a picture for it and  then send it out to him as soon as we can.  🙂

Castle Rock Stake Women’s Conference

Today the Stake held an incredible Women’s Conference that Angela and the Stake RS Presidency put on.  I went to help serve the food and clean up.  It was amazing how much work went into this conference and how many people were involved in making this a success.  Great job Angela and all!

Tonight we had a BBQ at the Liddell’s with the Bird’s and the Pocock’s.  It was great to have the Bird’s there and reminded us so much of all those old times in Naperville! Great food, great friends, and fun!

Julia Liddell brought her boyfriend (soon to be fiancee’) home and we all grilled him.  He seems like a really great guy and we’re really excited for Julia and her future.  🙂

Great General Conference Weekend

We had a GREAT General Conference weekend!  We were able to get our spiritual batteries re-charged in the comfort of our own living room.  Great talks were given.  We missed having Sarah with us, but we are so proud of her service in California!  We’re excited to see what insights she got from the meetings.

Chicago Trip and Zach Gets his Bear!

I left early this morning for a trip to Chicago for work.  Unfortunately for me, tonight was the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet and Zach got his bear award.  What an awesome little Cub Scout he is!  We’re so proud of him!

Being out of town, I also missed Brittany’s final internship presentation for her Birth Rocks experience.  That was frustrating to have to miss that as well.  She did a great job presenting!

Great job you two!  You guys are awesome!  Keep up the great work in all you do!  On the Chicago side, it was great to see everyone in Oakbrook again.  It’s only been 2 months since I went out last (hard to believe 2 visits that close).  🙂

Angela Speak in Church

Angela spoke today in our Ward and it was AWESOME!  She gave a GREAT and inspiring talk.  On the Illinois side of the house, Brittany went to church in our old Naperville 2nd Ward today.  Everyone was excited to see her and to talk to her about everything that has been going on in her life and in the life of our family.

We sure miss everyone out there in Illinois, but we wouldn’t trade our decision to move out to Colorado for anything.  It was the best thing for our family and we are seeing this.  🙂

Brittany left yesterday and flew out to Illinois to go to Mormon Prom with her friends.  She had a blast going to prom and seeing many of her friends there!

She called home after and had nothing but great things to say!  She’s having a BLAST out there!

Busy Weekend

What a busy day we had on Saturday!  Ben went to a party for his good friend Jake, and Zach and I helped some friends move.  Saturday evening, we went to Stake Conference at the Stake Center.  Brittany was assigned to speak, and she did an OUTSTANDING job!  Her talk was very inspiring.  Right after she spoke, I had to run Kirstyn to a party she was invited to.

Sunday we had the first Stake Conference broadcast in our new building.  It went really well and we enjoyed the meetings very much!  It’s cool having a new building so things are not so crowded.  Our ward was in charge of ushering and parking.

Sweetheart Ball

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Tonight we went up to the Timberline LDS building for the annual Castle Rock Stake Sweetheart Ball with Bonnie and Terry Liddell.  We had a great time and ate some yummy food.  There wasn’t much dancing, however.  Most of the time, everyone there sat and talked.  We left a little early to get home to the kids but had a great time.  🙂

Health Fair and Ward FHE Activity

Today we went to a huge health and wellness fair at the Douglas County Fairgrounds here in Castle Rock.  Brittany worked there with her job and so we went to see her.  The kids got a lot of vendor stuff.  The boys also had a chance to climb a rock wall.  They had a blast!

Tonight we had a ward Family Home Evening activity and our family taught a session on how to do FHE with teens in the house.  It was very well attended and we had a great time doing it.  🙂
