School So Far (Football, Seminary, Swimming & Fun)

It's been a really fun and busy school year so far! The weeks have been full of activities, and the weekends have been packed with various events and completing the room swap/rearrange.  (I'll do a separate post about that at some point, but I'm writing from my new office--the old guest room.). 
 

Seminary is in full swing.  To catch up on the doctrinal mastery that we missed over the summer, we did a human sculpture park.  This is Jesus creating the worlds.  (I let them edit however they wanted, haha.) 

This is through the ordinances, godliness is manifest. 

Snuck a pic in sacrament meeting when Grammy had the kids help her with an object lesson.  

Yesterday Ben went to a Bat mitzvah that included a Savanah Banana's game.  He hadn't met the girl before, but he enjoyed the event.  

Ben brought his buddies over after the SW Varsity victory on Friday.  Can you guess the theme of the game? 

Libby sent me this picture of her first weld! 

Sarah had her first swim meet.  She also missed one meet due to choir.  There have been a couple "meets" for dive (they do them at practice the day before).  I haven't been to one yet, but there is video evidence of her diving hopefully uploading here.  I'll get to see her this week, as they move back down to Helene Madison this week instead of up at Mariner HS. 

Grammy got this one after I had to go. 

I tried my hands at taking swim pics.  It's tough! I arrived just in time to see her finish her swim.  Then had to leave to help with a football dinner before her next one.  Ugh.  

Cutie BFFs. 

More DM--I the Lord am bound when ye do what I say.

Having fun in college. 

Ben has had 2 football games now.  So far they've won both.  They've been quite entertaining.  It's been good spectator weather--dry, but a bit chilly by the end.  I'm so glad wrestling is indoors! 

Libby is doing some private coaching in Iowa.  These are members of the Centerville Branch. 

First day of Seminary! 

Dad coaching.  A rousing post-game speech I'm sure, but I beat it to the car to get warm. 

Last Sunday I didn't blog because we had a wedding in Pasco for one of Derek's coworkers.  Made for a long day (3 hour drive each way.). But it was fun to spend time chatting.

Also week 2 of school and 1 of seminary I got a nasty stye.  I decided to go to urgent care after my head felt like it was exploding and I had a black eye.  The antibiotics really helped!

Hard to tell here how bad it was.  But ouch! 

This week on Thurs, Fri, and Saturday I did a workshop with WIFYR (Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers.). I'm hoping to submit one or two query letters for my book (now titled Reversal) before the Wrestling Season starts.
