January presses onward

 

Audrey and I hang out for a couple days because BYU takes an extra week to get started. We went skiing, walked Bagel in the Dimple Dell, and got Audrey's wisdom teeth taken out. 

Carson proves he is a genius once again. He gets a 35 on the ACT. Looking over what he missed, it is like 10 questions on the entire test of 238 questions, pulling off a perfect score in Reading. I am proud and very relieved. Congratulations, Carson!!!!

Kate is getting highlights!! She will look beautiful!

Kate's team competes in an indoor tournament at Skyridge in the High School Bracket and don't win a single game. Those girls were older and tough, but I am proud of how well these 8th and 9th graders did (and one 7th grader). Kate actually scores a goal, also!!!

Bagel's 2nd grooming appointment arrives. Here he is before and then all brushed out from the groomers. He looks so fancy, but I like the scrappy long haired boy he usually is. Funny thing is that a day after the groomers, he got covered head to toe in mud at the dog park chasing another dog through a creek. So, there goes his clean smell and fancy hairdo, and he is back to the adorable guy I am used to.

Graham is playing Jr Jazz. Here he is jumping for possession, number 31. He has really come alive at basketball this year. Though he is not a dribble and score kind of guy, he is aggressive and will win the ball back and make things happen offensively through screens.

Defending well!

Carson played a solo in the Solo and Ensemble competition at Alta. He did so beautifully. He got a 1- and is moving on to region!
