Kayli Hall, Century Link CEO for the day!

 This was one of the most exciting days for Kayli! She was CEO of Century Link for a day. She thought it was the coolest. All the 5th graders at her school spent the day at JA City, which is at Discovery Gateway. They learned certain roles in a company, worked, and even got paid, and during their breaks they got to shop and spend their pay checks at the other companies.

 She is such a beautiful CEO!!!

They learned how to write checks, fill out deposit and withdrawal slips, opened their own checking account and had their own credit card for the day. She learned so much and loved every minute of it. Tim took the day off work and was a parent volunteer for Zion's Bank. I think this was such a fun experience for these kids to learn so much and have such a blast doing it. 

This was Kayli and her employee passing out phones to some of the companies at JA City. Some of the other companies were Questar, Real Salt Lake, Zions, RC Willey, Best Buy, Maverik, & Select Health to name a few.

N.O.V.A Graduation

 Sandy City Police sponsored a program at Kayli's school for the 5th graders called NOVA. It stands for Nurturing Opportunities Values and Accountability. They learn how to be good citizens, holding their values high, making good choices and being accountable for the choices they make. Kayli learned a lot and really enjoyed the program. In order to graduate, one of the requirements was to write an essay titled "My road map to the path of excellence.", and Kayli's was picked as a top essay in her class. For "Project NOVA" they got to make a rocket if they chose to. Kayli's turned out pretty cool, she did hers out of duck tape of course. The students voted on the best rockets and she won an award for that as well . Hers came in 2nd in her class. Another challenge they had in order to make the "NOVA Pack" and earn an Elite award was no "electronics" for 7 days...no TV, movies, internet, computer, tablet, phone, etc. It was tough, but Kayli did it! All on her own, her choice! I couldn't be more proud of her and the hard work she put into NOVA. I was a proud mom at her graduation as she excepted her awards, and certificate. She couldn't have done a better job!

Shower Remodel

We did a bathroom remodel this last week. We had our bath tub/shower torn out and replaced it with a beautiful tiled shower...

 Fun playing in the fallen leaves on a day off of school!

 

Happy Halloween 2013!

 Happy Halloween! The kids were so excited for all the fun of Halloween. We had orange rolls for breakfast and I decorated our table for Halloween. At school they had a parade and then all their class parties. I got to help in Kayli and Tyler's. They were all a lot of fun. Then I took them to the Mall to go Trick or Treating, we came home and had pizza and then we went Trick or Treating through the neighborhood. Kayli went out with friends and so Tim and I switched off taking Tyler and Zach.

Sooo much candy! I offered to buy their candy from them for $25 each, just to get it out of the house, we will see what they decide...
