Another proud moment...

Friday, Jennah got a P.A.W.S. award for honesty. I don't think she'll ever stop amazing me! All the students that got awards that day...

(and yes, in case you were wondering, the principal is wearing P.J.'s and slippers. It was his Halloween costume)

For anyone who was wondering...

...does it snow in Snowflake?
YES IT DOES!!! And we LOVE it!!!

Proud...

This morning, Jennah's school (Snowflake Intermediate) held their 1st term awards assembly. They gave out awards for perfect attendance, honorable mention, Principals list, and Superintendent's list (the last three were for academic achievement). Jennah was awarded with none other than............drum roll please.....

Just look at the percentage, and yes, it's for ALL subjects! I don't think I ever got that high in just one subject when I was in grade school, let alone all of them at the same time!

What was even more amazing, was the amount of students that received awards. I'm definitely proud to be a Lobo, and even more proud to be Jennah's mom! She is simply amazing!!

What are your thoughts?

School pictures came in Tuesday. Stevie's is definitely a keeper, but Kirsties, we're not sure about. It's okay, but she's doing her silly "nerd" smile that she does quite often when she's trying to be silly, or is just nervous. What do you think, should we take a chance with re-takes, or stick with this one?

On the positive side, one thing I do like about this picture, is that you can see her eye color really well. Most people think her eyes are brown because they are so dark, but (in my opinion) they are the most beautiful and unique dark hazel :) Mr. photogenic...I don't think this boy ever takes a "bad" picture.

Jennah's pictures won't be in until tomorrow, so I'll (hopefully) have hers up then.

Giddyap!

Friday was "Cowboy Day" in Stevie's kindergarten class. He of course, had to go all out, head to toe. He even has spurs "that jingle jangle jingle"!

Enjoy the cuteness that is Stevie!!!
Of course, the photo shoot wouldn't be complete without a "cool cowboy" pose.

Love, love LOVE this boy!!!!!

Hooray for 80's Night!

Tonight for our Young Women's activity, we had 80's night. We have an AWESOME group of young women, and we had a blast sweatin' to Richard Simmons! It was fun hearing the girls explain how they came up with their lovely outfits. I'm so glad Yvette had the courage to break out the "fat suit". She provided us with some great moments...I just wish we would have thought to bring a video camera...darn it!

Here's the whole gang minus two (we were taking pictures) sisters... Cara & Hannah, and a friend they brought along for the fun

...and my totally 80's outfit...thanks to my sister Lynnette (who never throws anything out)

...and a kiss good night...

Kirstie's new pet

Kirstie found this yesterday while playing in my parents yard. She has affectionately named it "Goldy"...not sure why. Any guesses as to what kind of caterpillar it is?

I know this picture is blurry, it's just to show how BIG it is!

I think I need a tissue...

I know all kindergartners bring home something cute on their first day of school, but this one is by far my favorite... (If you can't read it, just click on the picture.)

Out of the mouth's of babe's

So, school started this Monday...HOORAY!!! It all went well, but I was not able to talk to my kids to see how their day went, because I had to work that day. So yesterday I was able to have a nice little talk with all three to see how they were liking school so far.

Kirstie, of course, had little to say other than her teacher is nice, (which, by the way, she has the SAME 2nd grade teacher in the SAME classroom that I had...how cool is that?!?!) and that she played on the playground. (Ya, she's a wealth of information when it comes to talking about school :-/).

Stevie was so excited, and just LOVES school! On the ride home from school, he said very enthusiastically, "I met ALL my best friends today!!!" I'm so glad I have at least one outgoing kid.

Then Jennah, my sweet, sweet Jennah...only she would say what she did. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely THRILLED that she enjoys school and learning so much, and am amazed by her everyday. When I asked her if she had a good 1st day of school, she just sighed and said, "the first day wasn't very much fun, because we didn't do any..." (......wait for it......)"studying". Now, the question is, what am I going to do with all my free time?
