First term over for the Kids in School!

Okay, so we are already done with the first term (out of four) for this school year. I can not believe how fast time flies by. All three kids have done great with grades that are almost perfect. But I also "tease" them and say that we can not have anything less than a 4.0 in grade point :o) (Svarer til 12 i gennemsnit i Danmark)! They are all three working hard and that is what is most important! Off to second term and many more things to learn.

McKay at Debate Contest at East High School.

This ended up being a special Contest for McKay because he did not compete as a "Novice"(level 1)! His teacher Mrs. Gregg told him that he would take First place too easy again if he competed at Novice level so she wanted him to compete as a JV (Junior Varsity = level 2). Well they get there and there is no JV groups so he could either do Novice or Varsity (level 3) the highest in High School. So where do you think he ended up ? Varsity of course:o)

And yes he placed!  He took home 3rd place which is not heard of by such a new "debater". But we are talking about McKay as you know :o)!  His teacher is just so pleased with him and I am sure he has a great future in her classes:o)

Mika is so cute ;o)

 Concert Choir!

The first real concert of the year with Woods Cross 6 Choirs. Here Mika sang in 13 of the 25 songs because she is in the two best choirs! They did great and she looked like she had lots of fun ;o)! But you know how she loves to sing. Everywhere she goes is with a song!

Sick kids!!

Okay, so I have had sick kids or should I say Teenagers. First Mika on Saturday and today it was McKay's turn. Now we are just waiting for Millika to get it too and of course Lincoln and me ;o). Oh well, I am hoping to not get it this time but only time will tell if I get my wish!
Yep, Millika got it too and she kept it for longer than the 2 others. Lucky me I had 3 sick kids at 3 different times :o)

McKay went to his second Debate Competition  and he did not have a chance to speak. But he was the"chair" and the Judges liked him so much that he still took 2nd place in his group. There were a lot of Schools at this Event. McKay had 46 students in his "House" ( group).

Entering the Blogger world!

Okay, I am not sure how this works really but I am learning. Really I am making a Blog for the Young Women in our ward and it is enough to have me motivated to get started again on our family blog. Yes I started a few ;o) months ago and never really did anything with it. But now I am going to try and get it done. We will see how long it lasts!
