Saturday November 3

Today has been a ridiculously busy day!!!!

And a day that Brent and I have been stressing out about!

I hate when we have so many things going on!

I'm a 'one big event a day' kind of girl.

I got up early with Porter today and we went and passed out bags for scouting for food.

That took about an hour and a half.

I spent time doing laundry and getting kids to put laundry away.

Elsie finally got her stuff put away.

And she even organized her closet.....by hanger color :)

Let's see, then Porter had his Y-ball game.

We took Max with us to watch.

Man, he's got a good team!

They won again, 51-12!

It is kind of funny, they have two Porter's on the team and BOTH of them are number 5!

I came back home and got more house stuff done.

Porter hung out with Max more.

We got to see Dad fly over during his helicopter training.

Well, I didn't, but Vern and the boys did.

These are picts he sent....(not ones we took :)

So he had a full day of helicopter training.

He got home in time to get ready to go to Cassi's banquet.

Porter went with the Edwards to the movies.

The plan with Elsie was for her to hang at home until the Morgan's got home from a baptism they were at.

Dad, Cassi and I left about 5:15 to go to the banquet.

Madi left at about 5:45 to go tailgating with work friends.

Dad was supposed to go with her, but he needed to be at the banquet.

Several weeks ago Madi got tickets from work to go to the BSU/BYU game.

She could have taken anyone....but she invited her Dad to go with her :)

This is the part that caused stress, needing to be in two places at the same time......and one of the places was in Middleton, the other downtown Boise!

So the girls made some compromises.

Madi hung with work friends.....Dad went with us to the dinner, and planned to leave as soon as the awards finished up.

Well, we got there at 6.m that is when dinner was supposed to start.

Well, they were running ate, which did not help with the stress level of Dad trying to get to the game on time!

So the time FINALLY came for awards.

This was pretty neat.

Cassi was awarded the JV MVP out of all the district!!!!!

And actually, we are the only district in the nation that is school sanctioned....

So she is the FIRST girl to ever receive this award which is basically JV MVP in the whole nation!!!!!

So cool!

It was fun to have her recognized for something that she loves so much!!!!!

Cass and I drove home, picked up Elsie from Stacia's, and Porter from the Edwards.

Then we had to stop by and show Bubble the award :)

She was pretty proud too!

Then I took Cassi to a friends to hang out.

These little ones were exhausted.

Elsie got to bed, but Porter needed some wind down time, so I let him hang with me.

He is currently sleeping on the couch :)

Madi and Dad are still at the BSU game...

It is late, but at least we get to gain an hour of sleep tonight.....right?????
