Hola!
Well, a good news item is that my carpets DID go back to normal! (See previous blog, after they were cleaned last week.) Whew! That was a huge relief, and it only took 1 or 2 days.
Otherwise, it was a good set of speakers in our Stake Conference. This was a fun thing, after the fact of course: Teresa (10 yrs old) gave a talk in Stake Conference! Yep, the building was full, after they put chairs up in the gym and on the stage. There were probably 1000 people there. I have never given a talk for that many people. I was more nervous than SHE was! Ha. We put it together early last week, and she practiced out loud each night. She did a really good job, speaking slowly and clearly. Just before she got up, MY heart was pounding…I really was nervous for her, but she didn’t seem scared.
I put together these scrapbook pages for the girls, for when they received their Recognition Awards over the past couple of months.
Teresa (5th grade) got a reading recognition award. She reads like crazy, and has taken “reading counts” quizzes on so many books. Each book, depending on length and difficulty, may be worth 10 points, or it may be worth 30 (think “Lord of the Rings” trilogy for that many points). This year she has earned 750 points! Very cool. (Here is Teresa's page. You can click on it to enlarge it.)
Kara got her award a couple of weeks ago. Hers was “Future Teacher” recognition. Her teacher says she is always helping someone in her 2nd grade class, or explaining if they don’t get it, or making sure they finish an art project or other work before everything gets put away. I didn’t even know they gave that one out. Very nice!

I’ll have to talk about David’s another day. Have a great week! Love, Kari
Happy New Year 2023

teresa did such a great job...i couldn't believe it when i saw her up there...she was so sure of herself, was so calm and collected..i was very impressed...and thought the talk was great also..
I say Hola to Brad when he calls and when Clark calls I say, Heloha!
Anyway, neat awards your girls received. I wish they would do that here it really is a great idea for self esteem.
Theresa spoke in SC? Was she even nervous? What was her topic. I bet you were so pleased with her and one proud mommy!
Wow-that is so great Teresa! Way to go.
And nice work on the awards girls (and on the pages mom, very cute).
Last post-I can't believe that about your gas prices. Ouch. I'm not looking forward to that this summer.
Congrats to your girls, and your pages are really a lot of fun!
Teresa did a great job! Nervous? I don't believe it.
Was it wrong for me to brag to my Pew Neighbors that Teresa was one of MY Primary kids? I just couldn't help it....
