Life Lesson Learned

In school this year Jadyn is taking a
teen living class in which they learn a lot of things I wish I they would of taught teenagers when I was young. This lesson was being a teen parent. They had to bring a 10 lb bag of flour or a baby doll weighed down to 10 lbs. Jadyn chose the flour and decorated it with her new baby cousin Jenna's face. They also had to name it she chose Oaklyn Mei. THey had to look up baby items and compare them. When jadyn did this she told me, "Holy Crap babies are expensive". My reply "Ha, Ha, Ha, and that's just the beginning." She had to take the baby everywhere with her, she could use a babysitter twice. She slept with her baby in a
doll baby carrier and had to keep an hourly

journal of what she was doing with the

baby. She only left her in the car once

(she felt terrible) when she went with

Terry to pick up Jantzyn at Robyn's.

I think this was a great lesson for the kids

to see they are not ready to be parents yet

and I think she learned that in that short

week.

Jorrin's 2nd Gekathon

Jorrin wanted to do the Gekathon (mini triathon) again this year.
Only this year she didn't have time to train and she had the flu 2 days before. But she finished it and we are sooo proud of her!

They both did a good job. Way to sing girls.

Jantzyn was STAR OF THE WEEK!



She had fun decorating her poster and picking out her favorite toy for the class to guess.

The girls met their newest cousin Jenna. We had to set the timer for each of them to take turns holding her.

Jaicelyn wanted to be a cat but when my friend at work said she could make a cute Cheetah costume Jaice was all for it (thanks Mandi!). Isn't she the cutest cheetah ever!

Jorrin decided at the last minute to dress up and went as a 80's workout girl. Work it, Work it!






Terry was the scariest thing of all, a Utah fan in a household/neighborhood of BYU fans.
