Destiny driving????

So today Dave took Destiny up to Ely to test for her learners permit. There are 50 questions on the test, you must get an 80% to pass. She only missed 4, and there were only like 5 questions left and the computer stopped and told her to go to the counter. She had passed. You can't miss more then 10 to pass, and since she wasn't going to miss that many because there weren't more then 6 questions left. Too cool for her and us, now we can be chaperoned around town, at least just around town for me first until she drives with me with other cars driving around her. I am just a nervous mom I know. She did drive home from the Y tonight with Dave, which is only a little over a mile into town. Dave said she was kind of weaving a little down the road, but all in all she did pretty good. Well this is going to be a fun adventure for us for the future. :)

Lincoln County Fall Choir/Band Concert

Well it was a good concert last night. It is interesting to hear the changes from the 6th grade band up to the high school band. This year the high school band is a woodwind band. They lost a lot of band members to being graduating seniors this past June. Michael is in the middle school band, and Destiny is in the high school band. I think I need to buy Michael a white button down shirt. I think I am going to try to find him a red, black, and white tie to wear for the concerts to. I took some videos of the concert, and was going to post to Facebook, but it tells me the videos are too big. So I am going to try to post them on here. I think I have a couple pictures to, those should go on here with no problems. There are only 3 boys in the choir right now, they were up in the top left. Right now Mike is a little short, he kind of needed to center himself between the 2 people in front of him.

Really? Where did summer go?

I can't believe that summer is all but gone. School starts here on the 20th. For a change that is a Monday start date. Here they have a 4 day school week, usually school starts on the 30th, but for some reason it is starting a little earlier this year. My guess is that they weren't making up the missed hours for Fridays off. I mean they only added about 30 minutes to the end of the school day for the elementary. So Destiny will be a Sophmore, and Michael will be in 7th grade in middle school. Growing up like weeds they are!

Summer.

I can't believe summer is almost over, as far as school starting for the kids. Mike will be in 7th grade this year! Destiny will be a sophomore! We got her a Nevada Drivers Manual, so she can start reading through it, and learning and memorizing it. She can go take her test for her permit on September 5. I think she has gotten more into it now. For the longest time she has seemed kind of afraid of wanting to learn, I am not sure what was scaring her. She seems to have come around now. We will see as the practicing begins!

Haven't posted in a LONG time.

So I think it has been since last year sometime that I have posted anything. The school year is almost done! Destiny will be done with her freshman year in high school, Michael will be going to the middle school next year, wow! I can't believe it. I have a new nephew, Carson, born a few weeks ago. Anytime now I will have a new niece being born. I can't wait to actually get to meet them both.
On the 14th Lincoln County is having a Music Festival. That consists of the 6th graders, the middle school kids in band and choir, and then the high school band and choir kids. They will be hosting to Calvary Chapel kids. Then the last weekend of this month is the Music in the Park concert in southern California. Six Flags theme park is where they are going to be going. That should be loads of fun. Destiny was supposed to have gone last year, but not enough middle school kids could go. Well I will have to get back into a better job of posting on here again. Have a good night!
