Well it will be official Friday. I have decided to throw my hat in the ring. I will be running for the Jordan School District School Board. I am setting up my campaign committee very soon. If any of you are interested in helping out please contact me by commenting to this post or emailing me at ken@duckworthfamily.org.
Well as many of you know politics has been a long time passion for Ken. After years of behind the scene work the time is comming for me to step up and practice what I preach to the scouts in my Citizenship merit badge classes. I am going to run for office so that I can hopefully make a difference. I have resigned my seats on the SRMS PTSA executive board so that I can focus on area where I can benefit our neighborhoods and children better. I am currently looking into exactly which way I can best serve so stay tuned.
We had a great time as a family last week at the UofU gymnastics meet. Kaylee and J even got to meet Swoop, the Utes mascot. Sarah would have nothing to do with Swoop. She prefered to stay as far away as she could get.
As you all can see life is fun with Sarah. She can light up the room and cheer up the most blue person out there. We love to watch for what zaney thing she is going to do next.
“J” is in the middle of a nice long break from school. He is off track and loving all his free time. now that Christmas and New Years are over he is loving the pool again. He started his swimming lesson agai and is in level 3. He love to play in the water as do the rest of his brothers and sisters. He has enjoyed playing with his cousins who are visitng from North Carolina. He is really enjoying the snow on the hill across the street.
He has become a little daredevil, trying to jump on or off anything he can. He likes to scare his Mom and Dad with his stunts.
Eventhough he is enjoying his vacation he still love school. He practices his reading daily and love to learn new things.
Yet another Thanksgiving has come and gone. I just can’t believe how fast time flies anymore. This year we had a simple family thanksgiving. Just us, My parents and Dawn’s sister Kimmy. It was a somewhat laid back day. We didn’t do much but cook and eat (2 of my favorite things).
We turned on the outside Christmas lights (much to Sarah’s delight) last night. Sarah has been bugging me for a week to turn them on. She loves them.
The boy are very gung ho to set up the tree. they got all of the Christmas decorations out this morning. as Dawn and I are taking care of our morning stuff around the house I can hear them pulling out the tree and trying to set it up.
Christmas music is OKed to be played in the house so the cd player is loaded and jamming out Donny Osmond’s ”Christmas at Home”. We are looking for a good wassil recipie. If anyone has one please send it to me at ken@duckworthfamily.org.
For the first time in several years I did not go out for the day after sales. It was a nice peacefull morning.
We hope all is well for all of you this CHRISTmas season.
For the first time in a long time if ever, Spencer has made the Honor Role at School. To top that he has done it in his most challenging courses that he has ever taken (and we thought that he might have a stuggle getting use to middle school). We are so proud of him and hopes that he keeps it going. I think he has finally proven to himself that he can do it.
Saturday we were looking through the latest edition of the West Jordan Journal (the local city newspaper put out monthly) and we were suprised to find Michael’sname in another article. This time it was about the Copper Hills High School swim team and not his Eagle project. We are so proud of him. Swimming Vasity for the high school while still in Middle School (middle school is 7th – 9th grade). http://www.valleyjournals.com/onlineed/WJJ.pdf Then go to page 12.
