From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. John 1:16

Viver Brazil

Emma's class took a field trip to Stephens Auditorium in Ames to see a presentation by Viver Brazil. Feet on the Ground took us on a cultural journey through Brazil where we learned about ceremonial celebrations and the Brazilian martial arts/ dance form of capoeira. We really enjoyed seeing the stunning costumes they wore and listening to the percussion and voices of the performers!

During the performance we were encouraged to participate by clapping and answering their calls with song. At the end of the performance some of the students were invited on stage to learn some of the dance. Emma was one of those students and had so much fun. What an amazing experience- I am so happy I was able to be there with them!

I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. Psalm 14:6

1st Quarter Report Card and Conference

Emma's 1st Quarter Conference was last night and again I am proud to say it went very well. Her teacher started off by telling me how great of a student Emma is. She works very hard and to her own high standards. She strives to do her best and is very determined. Emma is doing well in all subjects but can use the most practice in math, she is where she needs to be, but any practice can only make her better and will be useful when learning long division next year! She loves to read and has been reading 20-30 minutes each night (sometimes more!). She also never has any homework because she makes sure to get everything done while at school! She is also ahead on her memory work for the year and getting along with all her classmates. Keep up the good work Emma. We are all so proud of you!

Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7

Trick Or Treat

Sunday night was Boone's Trick or Treat. Emma left practice early so we could make the rounds in Ogden and Boone (Ogden's Trick or Treat was Saturday but we were not able to go). It is always a little crazy but we really enjoy being able to visit all the grandpa's and grandma's and great grandpa's and grandma's- they love it too!! We also went to our neighborhood so they girls could do a little more trick or treating. Enjoy the pictures from the night!

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. Psalm 121:7

Success Boo Bash

Our gym held a Boo Bash for the kids last Saturday night. The girls went with some friends while their mom and I got to enjoy a movie. During the party they were able to wear their costumes, do crafts, have a dance contest, eat pizza and do open gym, then the older girls got to stay for a movie and sleepover! They had a blast!! They are really looking forward to the New Years Party/Sleepover!
