Duke vs State volleyball

A few weeks ago we went to NC State with some friends to watch the girl's volleyball team take on Duke. Of course Allias had to come and cheer for the Duke girl's. He also recruited these two.

K getting her volleyball signed- all the players remembered her (even her name) from the previous games and clinics. I have to agree that she is totally unforgettable!

of course Allias had to take the opportunity to meet and greet with the Duke girls......

We really wanted to get his picture taken with the whole team but most of them headed right to the locker room after the game.


and in case you were wondering Duke killed it- won three straight sets

I want to blog

but.......

I don't really have much to say so let me just share a couple of cute stories with you.

Sunday our whole family was fasting. Our ward meets at one o'clock so I was cooking dinner in the morning. We were having company that evening and I wanted everything to be ready when we got home. I had put chili in the crock pot and there were cornbread muffins baking in the oven and honestly the kitchen smelled delicious. Both kids came through as I was cleaning up whining about how I was torturing them. When I said how do you think I feel it is right here in my face. K looked at me and said "but you are more righteous then us!"


Travis was teaching the kids how to clean a bathroom. They started in my bathroom and he did most of the cleaning with them watching. Then they cleaned the guest bathroom with them doing most of the cleaning and him watching to make sure they were doing it the way he had taught. As we was explaining something to K she looked up at him and said, "Dad you would make a great janitor."


Yesterday I was sitting at the table studying my scriptures and getting ready for Seminary. K looked at me and said, "mom you know who you remind me of?" I asked her who and she proceeded to tell me that I reminded her of the girls in the scriptures who had the lamps and were prepared. I was having a rough day and that sure made me feel a lot better.
Love this quirky little girl!
