SAP Training

In the months of February and March Scott was gone for a total of 6 weeks! He did 12 accounting credits and earned his SAP associate consultant certification at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.  We had a lot of FaceTime dates.


Madelyn was the most affected, she needed a lot of extra snuggles to help her get through not having her dad around. Scott and I gave her one of my old lockets with a picture of Scott in it, to wear to help her through.   It helped a little.    But we would much rather have our dad home!

Scott finished his class by noon on a Friday and he called me at about 11pm that night to help him stay awake and Madelyn woke up with bad dreams and got to talk to him too.  She was bawling in the phone saying, "daddy I just want you home, I can't sleep when you are gone." Scott drove a couple more hours then slept in his car and woke up early and was able to be home by 8 am the next morning!  The kids (especially Madelyn) were really happy!

Being apart makes me appreciate being together even more.

Dare Essay winner

 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
