THE PARK POST

  Winter Formal 2016--McKell's crew of friends McKell went with Kade Whatcott Sydney's band concert--they all improved from 5th grade!! She won 2nd place in the school-wide spelling bee.  These two battled it out 10 rounds beyond everyone else.  She got out on the word "castellated."  Mr. Ball was so proud! Weddings, Temple Lights, and David Archuleta Concert! Christmas Time = Family Chatting with our missionary made our Christmas complete!!  And then Mike ran into his new besties at the airport.  I was so jealous.  This text meant so much to me.  I treasure these moments cause they don't happen very often.

November was a busy month because Grandma and Grandpa Ogden packed up and moved to Arizona for the winter.  I flew out to Utah and then drove back to Arizona with them.  Kalli and Critter drove a truck down with all of their big items a week later.  We spent many hours shopping for furniture and everything else needed to start a new household.   I actually realized I love shopping with someone else's money.  :)   Licia has been their tech guru and gets phone calls daily.  Tammy helped with the interior design details and Mike helped with a wall hanging that turned out beautiful.  It really is quite a process to establish a new home out of state, and my mom handled it extremely well.  In fact, I think she kind of enjoyed the challenge.   Grandpa thought it was a piece of cake to move. . . . wonder why??  These two love to make fun of their dad.  They got in his closet and impersonated him....
