Science Fair Results

DaNell walked away from the Science disappointed, all she received was an award for participation. It was very discouraging to hear the same kids' names over and over winning everything. Mostly it was kids of doctors, teachers, and businessmen from the community that received awards. I'm not complaining just because my kid didn't win, but because there were a lot of great projects that didn't win-the least they could do is spread the wealth, if one kid is already winning an award, then someone else should win the most creative, or most unique ect. awards. I won't be suprised if next year, DaNell wants nothing to do with the Science Fair-she was pretty upset after receiving all the great feedback from the judges and then to not get anything out of it. I shouldn't say not get anything, because she had a blast making her project and really enjoyed being able to go to SLC to work with Uncle Dane that was definately worth it, she will remember it always. On a happier note, when it was time to get her award, they had given her certificate to someone else, they had to have eveyrone check their certificates and bring her's back down to the stage, so her time on the stage lasted a little longer than she had hoped- but made for a few laughs-Here's a few pics from the fair-Enjoy! Next up is the History Fair in March!

Second Quarter

Well the results of the Second Quarter report cards are in, all the kids are doing well, DaNell had mostly A's and one B+, Taylor ended with an A in homeroom and a B in Language Arts, Schydi had 3's and 3+'s in almost everything and she is in the highest reading group she can go into in second grade and Leyton is also doing well, he has passed off all of his numbers and is now working on recognizing letters and the sounds they make. Here's to a great 3rd quarter! Great Job Kids!! Keep up the good work :-)

Sneak Peak

Here is DaNell working on her Science Fair Backboard. The judging took place last night, tonight is open to the public, with the awards to follow. She seemed to have a good time last night and said a lot of people kept commenting on how cool her pics are. Good Luck DaNell! Watch for more posts-and more pics :-)

Happy New Year!

Over the holiday weekend we took a family trip to the lake to go ice fishing. It was a little cramped in the tent which was made for 2 since there was 6 of us in it. The weather was pretty chilly but we managed to have a lot of fun. Taylor spent a a lot of time taking the sled down the hills with Schydi and Leyton. Schydi was the only successful fisherman that day. Here is a pic of her catch. I had a lot of other pics to show, but for some reason my camera deleted all of them :-( Oh Well, I'll have to get back in the swing of things and take some more to share.

Merry Christmas!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Where did the time go?

Seems like it was Christmas just yesterday, yet in only 4 days it is here again. How does it come around so quickly each year? The kids are busy counting down and trying to guess what is in their packages under the tree. None of them have come close this year to what they are-Thank goodness. DaNell wants books, Taylor wants PSP Games, Schydi is wishing for an Easy Bake Oven. and Leyton has his little heart set on a BB-Gun. Here's hoping that Santa can help make their wishes come true. Here are some pics from our family Christmas Party-Enjoy!

Here's is Taylor's class singing Jingle Bells.

Taylor's Christmas Songs

For the Christmas Program, Taylor's class was assigned America. They sang Jingle Bells and one called Still, Still, Still. I have never heard this one before, but I really liked it. I tried to load some video, but it was taking forever, I do have a couple pics of him singing. Here is also a couple more pics from the program of Leyton and Schydi. Leyton loved the mustaches, he wore Schydi's all over the rest of the night.

Christmas Program

Here is Schydi singing at her Christmas Program. Her class sang songs from France.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving :-D
