Bleed Green News, Track, Snow...

Alex's one fun class is Video Productions. Here's a recent broadcast he was in. If you know who J.P. Sears is, I told Alex he reminds me of J.P. Alex said he was told that by someone else, too.



Danny is on the track team but his paperwork hadn't gone through soon enough for him to participate in the first meet, which was here. Parents had to volunteer to help, so even though Danny wasn't running or jumping, I "got to" help (Glen was administering  the SAT test that day).

I helped with the timing (which is what I did last year when Alex was on the team). It's an easy enough job, only I was freezing. See me in the background of this photo--I'm in the white coat. I look cold, don't I? There's a home track meet on the 24th, but the weather is supposed to be nicer that day. Here's to hoping weather.com is correct.

Sam (Hoonsiri) is on the swim team and recently had his first meet. It was an away meet, so we didn't get to see (well, all the meets for swimming are away). I asked how it went and Sam replied something that made me think he didn't do too well. Then I saw the article from the newspaper showing that Sam did quite well. Congrats Sam!

Last Friday, the 16th, Washoe County schools and Carson City schools canceled classes due to a snow storm from the previous night and that morning. Notice the difference in the amount of snow in Fallon vs. Carson, which is only about 60 miles away from us. Needless to say, we still had school (we did wind up with a heavy dusting, though).

Fallon March 16th

March Madness

Glen and I didn't get brackets in this year :( but Alex and Hannah did. Alex was #1 in the family from Thursday until this afternoon having predicted one upset (though not the record breaking #16 seed beating #1 seed Virginia...and Alex had had Virginia going all the way to win the tournament, so he's most likely out of the running). Anyway, there have been some great nail-biting games so far, including UNR's games. Too much fun. Just wish I had a bracket to cheer for. I guess I'll cheer for a bunch of upsets.

So, Ryan and Angeles have set the date and they are getting married on Thursday May 17th in the San Diego Temple with a reception there that night. We will have an Open House here in Fallon a week later.

And Joy's baby blessing is now set for Sunday April 8th in Provo at 10 am.

And Eric might be graduating from BYU-I on Friday April 13th.

And I'm overwhelmed just thinking of it all.    One...day...at...a...time...
