We had a really fun day Monday. I told all my girls that we had practice to "work on a few things before the club season." They all came dressed and ready to play. Kolt had promised them earlier that if they won the Idaho Falls tournament, he would sing a song for them. He had been putting it off for a long time, so we did that then. Kolt didn't really feel like singing would be a good idea, so he put on some sunglasses and a hat and did a dance to Call Me Maybe. The girls loved it, and he did a great job. Kolt told me before hand, "You can do anything with a hat and sunglasses!" After the dance, I told the girls they finally needed to be tested and prove if they were any good, although they did go undefeated. Right then, 10 moms walked in ready to take on the girls. I was so impressed to have all 10 Moms come in to play. We lined them all up and played Moms vs. Daughters and then mixed them up a little bit. We made it all official with the score, and I was the ref. I guess the girls really are good because they even beat their moms! The Moms all brought dinner for the end of the game. We had a great day of laughing, and I think the girls loved it. Being my first week without volleyball, I am sure missing those girls! It's good to see them at the football games and at the varsity games.
Monday night Kolt was up all evening with a fever and flu symptoms. He has had a pretty miserable week, but has been so diligent in not missing any class or work. He went to the doctor a little later in the week and has been feeling much better. It isn't any fun to have a sick spouse! Tuesday night we volunteered to watch a couple of boys for Kristi's friend who is a single mom. We had a great time with the boys who were 3 and 1. Jarden & Jackson were quite well-behaved boys, and we had a great time entertaining them. We also had Kamrie with them while Kristi was at District Volleyball. She is a very fun baby, who definitely likes to have her mom at bedtime!
Kolt and I started a new job this week. It's a temporary job in a call center until the elections on November 6-7. It's definitely out of our comfort zones, but we glad to be able to have a chance to make a little money. One of my longtime friends who I grew up with in the ward, Natalie Davidson, now Baird, got us involved with it. Her husband is one of the team leaders. We are sure glad they thought of us. We also enjoyed seeing Kolt's Aunt Jan Staker at Melaleuca one of the nights we worked. I only work Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and Kolt works Wednesday and Thursday evenings, in addition to a full 8-hour day on Friday in Rexburg. We are learning a lot about call centers and working with people!
After work on Wednesday evening, we ran over to Rope and Brand's football games. We saw the end of Rope's game. He won the first game of the playoffs 19-7. Rope had a fumble recovery at the end of the game to seal the deal. Kolt enjoys watching him grow as a football player. He has sure improved over the last 2 years. Brand's team played right after Rope. He won 45-0. They got matched up against the other Bonneville team in the first round of the playoffs! We are excited to see them both play this Tuesday as soon as we get out of class!
Friday we went to Tyler's Senior Night football game against Rigby. It's hard to believe that Tyler is a senior this year. They beat Rigby handily 49-7. We were glad to sit with my parents, Bryant & Kristi, Ashley & Kevin, Dylan & Jordyn, & Paul. After the game, we went to town and bought a couple of things to put in our kitchen. We are living in my parent's basement, so we've been working on putting in a kitchen downstairs. Finally, things are starting to get settled! I'm excited to get going in the kitchen!
Saturday Kolt and I rode the bus down to Pocatello High School for the 4A District 5-6 Volleyball Tournament. We started off at noon playing Century and lost in 3 sets. Century has a very good middle hitter and some pretty consistent outsides. We had a hard time stopping the middle! We played Pocatello in the bottom side of the bracket and won in 3, then we played Century again. We lost again in 3 sets. We get to take 2 teams to state from our district, so we will go in as the #2 seed, which means we start off with Skyview next Friday at 8 AM at Skyline High School. I'm excited we don't have to travel so far for State this year!
Sunday I got called to fill in for the choir pianist who was sick. Kolt got to be the official page turner. Brother Smith talked in church; his son Andrew is one of Kolt's best friends. He even acknowledged Kolt for making the right choice by, "Marrying talent and then being the official page turner for the choir." We were excited to be announced as new members of the Iona 10th Ward. Kolt got called today to team teach the 12 year old Sunday School with Malin Reynolds, a longtime friend. He excited to start teaching next week about The Presidents of the Church.
We have had a fun week and hope to get rid of the sicknesses fast! We
are also happy to get wedding pictures back this week! We are so happy
that our family is sealed in the temple forever.
