A week of school events

A couple of fun things went on last week. First Tae had a big event going on at her school. The 5th grade did a wax museum. This was something she had looked forward to all year. The kids had to pick a hero and really learn and study about them. Tae wanted to be Emila Erheart. Then on Wed night they dressed up as this hero, brought props and turned there classrooms into a museum. It was very fun. The kids had to hold very still like they were made of wax while the visitors walked through. Each kid had a pretend button on their display that you could push and hear them say a famous quote or saying from that hero.


She was so cute. Her dad helped her make a airplane out of boxes and
she sat inside trying not to smile.

Kaitlin had a good week too. There were try outs for the dance team at school, Dance Company. She made the team. She was so excited. Then there was the Valentines dance at the end of the week. She went with a really nice guy and had a lot of fun.

The theme was "Masquerade"
Leaving for the dance.

Florek Christmas Tradition

I wanted to share with you a fun Christmas tradition we do with the Florek side of the family. Each year for the past 10 years or so, we get together a week before Christmas and meet for pizza and bowling. Its probably the one and only time of the year we bowl. Its alot of fun.
For presents ,we all draw names earlier in the month and each spend about 5 to 10 dollars each. The added twist we added was, the present also had to start with the first letter of their name.
Its been fun to see what each other comes up with. You never know what your going to get!

Birthday and Temple Trip

I took my girls through the Draper Temple last last Friday. Loved it. It is a very beautiful temple with beautiful murals. It is very different then any other temple I have been in.We are so lucky to have all these temples so close to visit as often as we like. If you get the chance to go through this temple, go. Its awesome. Before you go through it, you meet at a church and watch a short video about temples and the city of Draper. In the video they showed a picture of my great-great-great-(not sure how many greats)grandparents. They settled the city of Draper. It was kind of cool to see that. I recognized the pictures from my mothers books she has. I then got to go with our youth last Wednesday. Lots of fun. I loved seeing there faces when they saw how beautiful it was inside. The girls loved the brides room and celestial room. They said the brides room makes them feel like a princess, which of course they are.

This is a shot before we left. They are a fun group, and Kate and I at the reception they have after you exit the temple. It was cool. They have lots of cookies and drinks for everyone and beautiful displays of temples and other church things. You should go if you haven't already!!!


It was Skyler's birthday last Sunday. Can't believe he is 22. We had a family party for him on Monday. He kept saying how birthdays aren't as fun when you get older. Funny huh? The Fiso's came over and we had his favorite meal. (which are very few) and after the Fiso's left I realized I forgot to take pictures so we took some after. It was like torturing him.
