Busy Week!

I can tell the end of the school year is drawing near; it seems like there are activities to attend every day and time seems to be zooming by at an alarming speed!

We had two track meets last week, with one of them being a JV meet where 8th graders competed.  The kids did well; Jefferson took 2nd in the 100m, and Krissia made it to the finals in the long jump.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the Tuesday meet because Mathison and I spent the day in SLC for an appointment at Primary Children's Medical Center.  Mathison was born with bilateral clubfeet, which required intensive intervention his first year and periodcal adjustments after.  Despite stretching and casts, his right foot keeps turning in, so it looks like he'll be having surgery in May.

This past week was also "D" week at the college - which meant nightly activities.  The ones we attended were so much fun!  Thursday night was "Party with the President", an outdoor 60's themed BBQ.  There was sand volleyball, hula hoops, and a dance contest ending with the bunny hop.  Jefferson put his ballroom dance skills to good use and was quite the popular partner with the college girls :)

Friday night was the Great Race and carnival.  Krissia was asked to be on a team; her leg of the race was swimming.  However, there was a twist:

That's right - the swimmers had to swim the length of the pool and back inside of an inner tube!

Of course, Krissia did a great job and caught her team up a few slots during her leg of the race.

Afterwards, DEl and I took Mathison to the carnival.  It was held on the field just below the track, and I think the location was better than in past years:

It was a perfect evening; not too hot or cold.  There were all sorts of bouncy houses and equipment for the kids and Mathison had to try them all:

I couldn't get a decent shot of his face because he kept running from activity to activity :)

Saturday was the Alumni Showcase and "D" dance.  Ragin' Red performed for the alumni, so we decided to go and support Krissia.  It was so fun to watch her perform; she has made so much progress during the past year and seems really comfortable on stage.  And, of course, we think she's beautiful!

Afterwards, they invited former member of Program Bureau (a Dixie College student performing group from the 60's - 80's) onto the stage to sing.  Ragin' Red had learned some of these songs, so I was able to snap this picture of daddy and daughter performing together:

All in all, it was a great - albeit EXHAUSTING - week!
