Happy Birthday to Me!


Haley and Mikayla with our school mascot, the eagle. Jenna and her friends with the mascot. Also they "sport" some of the prizes they won at the games.



Friday night we went to the Iowa Women's volleyball game. The girls gave Herky hugs! The good news is that I had my camera, the bad news is that my camera battery was dead! Oh well, there's always next time. Jeff and I, Mik and Haley left after the 3rd match. Iowa was ahead 2 matches to 1. Haley was miserable with her broken ear drum and Mik was very tired. Jenna caught a ride home with another family that was there with us.


Saturday I had a meeting at church at 9, Jenna had guitar at 10. After those 2 we ran some errands. I picked up 3 girls, the Wichharts. Dayna is Haley's age, Nicole is Mikayla's age (but in 2nd grade) and Ellie is in Jenna's class. I dropped the older 2 off at Kia's house so they could all practice their instruments together. The other 4 came home to our house. I was going to take them all back home at 1:30 when I picked up Jenna but they were playing so nice I said ok you can all stay until 2:30 when I take Jenna back into town for a birthday party. But then they were all playing so nice that they stayed until 4:30 when we went to the school for a fall festival. The pictures above are of that. Haley got to dunk her teacher! She was so excited all day to try! She hit the target but wasn't strong enough to "trip the trigger" so they let her go up and push the button. She loved it!




On Sunday we went to church. My parents came to our church. After church we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch. Jeff wasn't feeling the best on his stomach so he only ate my dinner salad. it was a nice birthday celebration for me.


This week is formal evaluations for my work. We will be observed/critiqued 3-4 different times by the principal and by another man at various times. My principal told me he would give me a birthday gift and not observe me today!


Pray for me this week when you think of me! It's kind of stressful. I loaded up on tums in my purse because I know that I will need them.
