No Power

Today was Kaitlyn's first day in ballet. She was so excited although she was very nervous. After her class we had a fun activity at the kids school. It was a movie night with Ratatouille with spaghetti & meatballs for dinner. The kids didn't eat the dinner so well but thought the movie was great! They colored pictures and some of them go to see some friends. It was for the younger grades so there really wasn't many kids Staci's age there.

Kaitlyn was picked up early from the movie and went to a sleep over at Tabatha's. They have been planning it for weeks and we finally had it scheduled. Brayden was so sad that he couldn't go.
We left the movie a little early since the dogs had been in their kennels for a long time. On our way out we noticed that the power was out.

A transmitter blew up on base and we were out of power all night. Dad had a fun night at the barracks on duty. Once the power went out a riot started and rocks were being thrown threw windows. So they secured everyone to their rooms at only 8:30 at night. But Dad had to stay awake in the pitch black on watch all night.

We were able to hook up our portable DVD players inside our camper and luckily our lights work off the battery. So we were able to watch a movie. The boys & Mom fell asleep but Staci stayed up until 11:30 watching a movie.

What a crazy night!!! It didn't help that it rained all night long so the dogs were up most of the night. So Mom didn't get any sleep.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
