Happy 8th Birthday Maddy Girl!

My baby girl is officially 8. As usual we had a big Halloween birthday party for her and it was a hit. For 3hrs we had music, games, and hyper children everywhere. The place was scary with Halloween decorations, and we had black lights so everything and everyone glowed. And we couldn't have a successful Halloween party without scaring the kids with a good scary story and Jon going outside with a scream mask jumping out in front of the window. It was great and we got it on video, unfortunately it's too long to post, but it was great! Our goal is to make it more scary every year.

Tragedy at Work today

Some thing horrible happened at work (Orem Jr. High) today. One of our students was hit by a car this morning by another one of our students that was driving when she shouldn't have been. It is said she was afraid of being late to school so she took her aunts car. It was in front of a bus stop so a group of students witnessed it. We had a lot of sorrowful, sad students this morning but by lunch time it was announced that she had died. This is a sad tragedy and I please ask everyone that reads this to pray for this little sweet girls family, and also for the family of the girl driving because she too is a victim in this story. She has no record, has never done anything wrong, always came and said hi to me with a smile. She only made a bad decision that she will have to pay for now. It is very hard to handle for me and for everyone at my school that really care for our students, so please take time to pray.
