Random awesomeness lately



A lot of random awesomeness has been going on in the Pugh household lately.

Jack and Marian had their end of season Mountain Bike banquet!  I wish I had taken a picture of the entire crowd.  One of the banquet halls at the expo center was filled to the brim with amazing high schoolers and parents who are SO DEDICATED and know how to work hard and make good things happen in mountain biking and in the community.  There is so much love and camaraderie in this group and I feel sooo lucky to be a part of it!


Jack was one of the team captains this year.  Awesome kids!


I had my school choir concert and it was awesome!  The kids did amazing and I got such good feedback from parents, teachers, and kids.  I LOVE music!

Ummm can you tell I'm excited?

No surprise at all but Grace won the leadership award for her soccer team!

This girls is small but mighty!  She's such a smart player and does a great job talking to her team on the field to make good things happen in the games. So proud of her!

Jack is the most amazing math tutor.  He is wicked smart and incredibly patient and creative in the ways he helps his siblings understand math.  Good thing because I am NO help in this department.



Chad and I took Lucy, Grant, and Grace to see the Kalani Sitake show down at BYU

It was even more fun that I expected it to be and we a fun BYU experience...something that has been hard to come by lately.  Hang in there Cougs!

Serious BYU fans in this household...not that you didn't know.

School "Skate night" at Classic Skating.  Grant (not pictured because he was off with friends in the tramp/bounce house area getting sweaty and gross all night...and having the time of his life) and Grace loved it.  I used to work at Classic and know too much to let me kids go there ;) but I figured for school night I'd make an exception.  I assumed all the parents would be skating/roller blading too.  It wasn't until my 2nd or 3rd lap around the rink that I realized that was not the case.  I wasn't the ONLY parent out there...but pretty much.  I didn't let that discourage me and I actually had a ton of fun cruising around the rink.   Let's just say I've still got it...sort of.


We had everyone's least favorite (I have mixed feelings) fall activity...FAMILY PICTURES.  Yay or BOO depending on which Pugh you are talking to.  My photographer friend took the real pictures...these are just some of the ones I was able to sneak in.  Based on who is and who isn't in my shots, you can get a good idea as to people's level of enjoyment of this whole enterprise.


are you kidding me with those gorgeous GREEN eyes?!!!





Can't wait to get the real photos back from the photographer!


Being a twin has it's ups and down.  Sharing a room with your sister/brother at age 10 is not ideal (but the least un-ideal set up....believe me we've tried them ALL) but these two twinners have A LOT of fun together.
Grace was very excited to style Grant's hair the other day.

This is their "rock star pose"

Not sure what this pose is....

this is their "Grant is only 1 minute older but a FOOT TALLER" pose

Last but not least...Grace had hat day at school and couldn't decide which hat to pick so....she picked them all.

Like I said to begin with...a bunch of random awesomeness has been going on lately and I am so grateful I get to be a part of it all!
