My Little Girl Is Growing Up!

We celebrated Lexi's fourteenth birthday yesterday by throwing her a surprise party.  We invited over her five best friends and sent them on a treasure hunt, ate hawaiian haystacks, played games, and hula danced.  As you can guess the theme was Hawaiian Islands.  Al did a great job at helping me create the treasure hunt (Thank you honey).  I can't believe my little girl is growing up.  She'll be in 9th grade this next year.  We all love her so much.  She is a special young woman.  We all look forward to seeing her accomplish wonderful things in the upcoming years.  Happy Birthday Lexi!  

Jordan Blake

Jordan had a wonderful year in baseball.  I believe they ended up taking 2nd overall.  He will be a Junior next year and is doing great in school.  We just got a letter in the mail telling us that he passed the UBSCT (Utah Basic Skills Competency Test). This was his first time taking the exam - passing it the first time is quite an accomplishment!  Each student in high school is given 3 chances to take the test before they graduate - some never pass.    The results are given on their high school diploma.  It's really neat that Jordan did this as a Sophomore!  They have to pass in all 3 areas of mathematics, reading and writing.  We are so proud of you Jordie!
