a couple of random pics

Here is my daughter with her 2 fingers
in her mouth. I wonder if it will be twice
as hard to break her of the habit...

I came in one night to head to bed and
caught her sleeping like this. I just had
to take a pic.


I was taking a lot of pics of her this day,
but her trying to grab the camera all the
while showing of her red (and swollen) eye
was the cutest one.
Her dear big brother wasn't thinking ahead
when he flipped a toy in her direction. She
survived with two little cuts, one on her lid
and another just below her eye. It was a
little scary at first because of where the
bottom cut was it looked like she had bloody
tears.

Mmmah!!

Lilly has the cutest kisses and I was afraid they

would go away so I had record it before they did.

Dancing Lilly

This is so dang cute, but who knows I might be biased!

When Jeremy started his music Lilly really got into it.

She still dances, even to hymns occasionally, and has,

on occasion, sung along. Enjoy!!!

Last Day of School 2010

I am a bit of slacker, as you all probably
know by now and waited until the last day
of school after the bell rang to get pics of
the kids with their teachers this year.
Jonah really enjoyed Mrs. Sabiatis this
year. I didn't get a chance to know her
as well as the other boys' teachers. I do
know that she is a great teacher and even
Jonah said that Lilly might end up having
her as a teacher in a few years. I was
impressed with her in that on the last day
of school as she let them out the door that
she was so sad to see them go she was
crying. It was nice to see her love her kids
so much! At the end of the year they did
a reader's theatre and I think Jonah really
enjoyed doing it and he did great at it!

Mr. Judd was Andrew's teacher this year.
I really like him. He has a way of really trying
to teach the kids lessons of morality along with
teaching them the curriculum. I know some
of what he taught was being moral, treating
others the way you would want to be treated,
honesty, working hard, etc. He was a good
teacher for Andrew. Andrew didn't enjoy the
student teacher so much because he was harder
on him then Mr. Judd. He's a little worried he
might end up in Fossil Ridge as a teacher this
coming school year, but he's really hoping not.
One of his favorite activities this year was to
do the rocket launch at the end of the year.
That would be Andrew, he loves all things
science!

Mrs. Paxman is wonder woman! I really got
to her know her as I helped out in her class a
couple of years ago when Andrew was her
student. Back then he enjoyed being the class
clown. Luckily he's eased up on that. She is a
great teacher and my favorite out of all the kids
teachers. She is just amazing and really cares
about her kids in all ways. She pushes them,
encourages them and really does love them and
want the best for them. She has survived two
of my boys and is still in the running. Jeremy
enjoyed making great gingerbread houses in
her class.

It was a crazy year and it seemed even harder
to keep up with then the previous year. I was
totally ready for summer to come. I'm thankful
for the wonderful teachers my kids have had in
the past and look forward to seeing what is
coming this year.

A farewell to some great teachers on the last day of school

Andrew is eleven!

Andrew and I went to lunch on his birthday.

He chose Wendy's. As you can see

he was trying to hide from the camera. I

eventually had to threaten him to get a nice pic.

I wasn't going to post the one that looks like he

was pickin' his nose, but he wanted me to. He

is so excited to move onto Intermediate school

next year. I can't believe how much he has

grown since I first knew him! Love ya kid!
