Catching Up!

I have been a bit busy at work these past few weeks and have not had a chance to update my blog! So this entry will hopefully catch everyone up on recent happenings!


Grace came over for a cousins sleepover a couple weeks back. We had a lot of fun too. The kids made their own pizza's, played outside, played with the Mojo, watched the movie "Hotel for Dogs" and then slept in the family room. The next morning we had a pancake breakfast and Grace, who was worn out, layed with Scott while he played video games in the basement. I don't understand why every time I take my children's pictures these days that they insist on opening their mouths!

My nephew, Randy, graduated from preschool! He's in the back row, on the end, closest to us. (Sorry the picture is so bad - I left my camera in the truck and only had my Iphone to take the photo with). The graduation program was really cute and Randy made us so proud when he was asked to hold the flag for the pledge of allegiance!

Presidential Award

Every parent encourages their children to do well in school. Mark and I have been blessed to have two very intelligent children who actually are doing well in school. Scott recently gave me an invitation from the school inviting his parents to an awards ceremony, where our son, will be getting the President's Award for Education Excellence. I can not express enough how proud I am of Scott. I actually had tears of joy when I read the invite. We can only hope that Scott continues his academic success. Scott will be in good company on awards night too, because his good friend Jacob also will be receiving this award. Below is the description of the award per the District Handbook.

Happy Early Birthday Scott


Scott's birthday isn't until July, but he really needed and wanted a new bike. Mark and I had planned on giving him a new one for his birthday, so we told him this was an early birthday gift. He agreed and is so excited about this new bike. Mark has been ill, so Scott and I went and picked it out. Scott even rode the bike in the store! Since Scott is an early riser, he's been getting out and riding his bike every morning this week before riding his new bike off to school. (I don't know what he's doing in the picture, other than showing his enthusiasm!)
