Road Trip! - 2009 - Week 7

We are currently in Flagstaff for Mike to interview with a couple of companies. We made the decision to start looking in other places and he came up with interviews right away. Back home he only had 2 interviews in 4 weeks, one of those jobs was only part-time!

There is a bit of snow around - old snow that just hasn't finished melting. It is warm during the day right now (55 was the high) so this snow will not last long without another storm to come in and add to it. It was so fun to walk/drive around and see the beautiful snow and trees. We saw different types of animal tracks. I just love the smell of ponderosa pines!

We decided to go with Mike and take school on the road. I packed up all the books and we decided to take this opportunity to have a nice, long fieldtrip. We were able to accomplish quite a bit even with the disruption in routine.

Kid's School:
  • Devotionals - Gospel Principles lesson 14 - Audio CD "Rough Start, Great Finish" by John Bytheway
  • Classes/Clubs Attended - Principles of Leadership
  • Read Aloud Book - Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder - Activities we did along with this book: hand sewing, different straight stitches, darning.
  • Educational Games - Risk, Wii Music
  • Fieldtrip to the Mountains
  • P.E. - Dog walking, kick ball, roller blading, snow ball fight and snow hike.
  • Projects - Humanitarian - We are sewing several types of balls for the LDS Humanitarian center.
  • Math
  • Individual Reading
Mom's School:
  • Reading list - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (finally finished this one), The Love Dare (a 40 day challenge so I'll be reading this one every day for awhile - see this movie "Fireproof"), Leven Thumps and the Gateway of Foo
  • Projects - Humanitarian project with the kids.

  3. Congrats on the trip! Last year Ryan interviewed with a company in Prescott. He was one of three considered and so we made the trip, he didn't get it but the break up north helped us to regroup and recover from all of the stress. I hope Mike is successful in his job hunt and that you guys get to relax and have fun!
