Kyle's Been Busy

Kyle has a full week!

Of course he has school each day. But this week he stared a pre-engineering LEGO club after school. Each Thursday, for 6 weeks, he stays after school and has lunch. He also gets to play on the computers in the tech lab. Then he gets to go to the library where the LEGO club is. He and 15 of his classmates get to build things out of LEGO's for an hour and a half. This week they built a moon crawler. He loved it and talked about it all weekend! He can't wait to have class again.

Saturday morning Kyle had a birthday party at Jump Street. For those of you not familiar with it, it is an indoor trampoline place. Kyle had fun as always and wore himself out! After the party, Kyle and I went with Dad to pick up Brian from the airport (he had a grad school interview at UNC). Kyle fell asleep in the car and slept for close to 2 hours.

Henry and I went out with our favorite couple, Mike and Cori Holloway. We went to Outback for dinner and then to a movie. We were supposed to see Sherlock Holmes 2, long story but we missed it. So we had 2 choices, We Bought a Zoo and The Artist. Henry has NO desire to see We Bought A Zoo (and Kyle would kill us if we saw it without him) so we saw The Artist. Critics said it was a must see, I would beg to differ! It was 100 min. of black and white (which I don't mind) and silence. There is noise at 2 parts and that is it. It was painful to watch it. We were the ones in the back of the theater that people hate, laughing and whispering. We were checking our watches and facbooking back and forth. Cori checked her clock 17 times. It is a great story and memory now ;)

Henry left for Las Vegas yesterday morning and will be back Wednesday evening. It is his trade show and Kyle really wished we could have gone with him. We will try to go with Henry in July/August.

Update

I know it has been almost 2 years since I have updated this blog. Here is an update and I hope to do a little blurb each Sunday.

Kyle: Kyle started kindergarten this fall. I can't believe he is already in school. He is going to a charter school that I am on the board for and helped start. He loves his teacher and has made some good friends. He also played on a flag football team. He did really well and enjoyed it. He can't wait to start baseball this spring. He is going to take a 6 week lego pre-engineering class at school. He is so excited!

Staci: I have been swamped with the charter school stuff. I am just now getting a little break. I am still teaching piano lessons and have 10 students. I am busy driving carpool from school. I am now a ward missionary and have weekly meetings and visits.

Henry: Henry has been busy with work. He was on the road 63 days in 2011. He went to Vietnam 2 times, had 4 trade shoes, and sales training trips. He still has time to shoot his bow. He doesn't get to tournaments often but he still hunts. He shot a deer and an elk this fall. Our freezer is full! He is still the Young Men's President. He has been busy with weekly activities, dances, firesides, campouts, church meetings, etc. We are hoping this year will be much more relaxing, but it is not looking that way.
