Cheyenne-Scorpian of the Month

We got a letter from the junior high inviting Jeff and I to a luncheon to honor Cheyenne, as well as a couple other students, as the Scorpian of the month. The luncheon was held today in the library. We ate school lunch on plates with placemats (brown like the school colors) and gold napkins (the other school color), goblets for our drinks, baskets with gold napkins holding the rolls...three courses meal: salad, country fried chicken, and cake! It was a nice luncheon. After the luncheon the counselors read the letters from the teachers who nominated them, gave them a certificate, school water bottle (which they called a rehydration something -to be funny), a certificate for a shake from the PTA and a school pin! Way to go Cheyenne!

Annicha Graduates to Level 2

Annicha had her last swimming lesson last night... she passed Level 1 on her first try! She couldn't take level 1 until she was 6, so she got the lessons for her birthday last month! She is on to level 2...way to be a fish Annicha!

Cheyenne opted for Bangs!

Cheyenne decided after growing all her hair out that it was time for a change...she called our friend who does hair and made the appointment herself...she loves them! Thanks Janina:)

Connor's Honor Society

Ok...here's a mother of the year moment. Cheyenne was inducted to the National Junior Honor Society...Connor also got a 4.0 and is already a member from last year. The notice was addressed to the parents of Cheyenne, so we only took Cheyenne. Well, we get there and Connor was supposed to be there too since each year they get their certificate...so here is the pictures of Connor with his certificate for this years National Junior Honor Society...can you tell he's thrilled...he got the certificate the next day at school and it's taken me this long to get him to bring it home from his locker!




I had to threaten him to even take the picture...maybe an X Box (which he bought) isn't so bad after all...



There is the nice handsome boy I remember...way to go Connor!

Sierra "Tween" Birthday Party Fun

Sierra went to a birthday party on Saturday for her friend. They went to a "Tween" store called "Justice" which sells pre-teen, early teen clothing and accessories...anyway, I guess they do birthday parties as well...all the girls got make-overs with hair and make-up. She told me they were made over as rock stars...thus the 'arm warmer glove things' or whatever they are called. They also picked some things to bring home as favors. Sierra had a great time!


Lovin' the sleeves?!



Can you see all the purple makeup on her eyes?



Her rock star hair do!

Boston's Basketball

Boston is Jeff's only hope for a child with a love of Basketball...the sad part- Boston likes all sports and plays all sports. He isn't partial to really any single one. His fight right now is the glasses...he doesn't enjoy being hit in the face by players or balls in any sport...hopefully next year...contacts! He does enjoy spending the time with his friends.
Here are the pictures of him and his team this year.


Soooo cute!



Boston is in the front, second from the left.
