The Secret Garden

 "What a busy, crazy, fun week it was" The Missoula Children's Theatre came to Mesa School this past week, the students that tried out after school got to put on the play The Secret Garden.

 The 2013 cast. On Monday 55 kids tried out for the play. In the years past they have had to cut students, I was very nervous that not all three girls would get parts. They did a wonderful job trying out. We were all very excited when they told us they had parts for all the kids.

My little actors!!!

 Natalie was the garden, 1st grade

 Morgan a firefly, 2nd grade

 Madalyn a goose, 4th grade

 Monday- Friday were some long practices. It started after school 2:30- 7:30 they had a 20 minute dinner break so I would run dinner up to them and then bring them home after it was all over. Brooklyn got good at learning all the songs and a few fun lines the kids got to say. What a fun week but I'm glad it's only every 3 years with happens.

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

 Country Mercantile Pumpkin Patch 2013  Preschool Field Trip 3 years old

 My little Brookie Lue, she's so sweet.

 The field trip was so fun for the kids. We first went on a hay ride to pick out their pumpkins, then to the corn maze, the hay pyramid, to pet the animals, and then to eat lunch with everyone inside.

 I have sure enjoyed having just Brooklyn at home, we have become BFF's. I really enjoy the one on one time together.

 Watching for the perfect pumpkin

 She found it, she loves the "Baby Ones".

Preschool kids

I Love you more and more each day Brooklyn

We love games

Natalie stayed home from school sick, Brooklyn was excited to have someone to play with. But now she has to share the ipad to play games.

Soccer Fall 2013

The 6 weeks of soccer season has come to an end. We had to manage 3 different teams this year, so it got really crazy for me to arrange rides and schedules.

Madalyn 4th grade, Morgan 3rd and Natalie 1st This year I took over as the Mesa Area Director, I was so surprised at how much time it took. It was fun to see the kids have a great time.

Jande was Natalie's coach this year, Hunter was on her team so that made it really fun for her. Natalie is a great player, she was always running hard to get the ball. I think she had about 10 goals this season.

 

Natalie and Melody

Morgan and Kyla were on the same time, I think they loved talking on the field to each other. I even got them holding hands one time. So funny!

Yummy treats. One of the best parts of the game.

Madalyn is a rock star!!! Her team is 4,5,6 grade girls. But we didn't have any 6th graders and not so many 5th grade so we have a very young team. We didn't win any games but they sure have a lot of fun.

Boot it out of there.

Way to go Mesa Girls!!!! We ended the season with a Pizza Party for all teams.

Friends and Cousins Party

 Having a little family birthday fun!!

 Grandma and Grandpa McGary got her a new alarm clock. Oh lovely we get to hear that in the early mornings.

 Reese's Ice Cream Cake

Make a Wish..........Oh wait you already got your puppy

 Since Madalyn turned 10 and it's an even year that means a friends party. We did a few games, gifts, ate pizza and Ice cream.

They ended the party with swimming in the hot tub, so fun.

Double digits

 Our Madalyn turned 10 on Sunday the 22nd of September. She has been asking for a Yellow Lab for months now, checking craiglist daily and sometimes hourly. I can't believe that her time is half over and then she will be living on her own at collage. Scary!!!

 Sisterly Love

Brooklyn helping her open her new CTR ring

 

She was surprised to open a box with a collar and leash. About 2 weeks before her birthday she found a girl yellow lab in Boise Id. she fell in love. She was sold as soon as she saw her. Without her knowing I called and bought her. She couldn't leave until October 15 when she was 8 weeks old. Her name is going to be Holly.

 So happy, she got her wish

This is one happy 10 year old. Now we have to wait 4 weeks to pick her up. It's going to be a long 4 weeks.

New pj's, brush and comb, CTR ring, curling iron and a new puppy. Happy Birthday, your a sweet girl and we love you.
