Catch Up

Its been a wild and crazy week and I am just now finding time to play catch up from our week. Be sure that you go to Older post to see them all! Happy Reading

Report Cards

Can't believe that its time for report cards already, seems like school just started last week.  I am so proud of the kids, Hunter's lowest grade was a 97 and Hayley got all "A's"  This is the first year that Hunter actually gets actual letter grades (A B C D F) so he was super pumped about that and making the Principals List!! I just hope and pray this continues!

Fishing

We took advantage of Brian being off tonight and another beautiful evening and went fishing. It's so nice to have  the lake (Taylorsville) at your back door. All we have to do is walk over the hill and there is the lake--its one of the many "perks" of living in the country. The kids love to fish and are always asking to go. I. LOVE. IT.

Most people's dog follow them, not us: our cat does!

the trees are so pretty
I've never seen the lake down this much, fishing was good

Hayley got cold and put on Brian's hoodie-
she found a turtle shell too. What a sight to see!




Kids showed Brian and I up we didn't catch anything, it was so worth it knowing they had fun.

Im so lucky

to eat this:
Fried biscuits, apple butter, fried chicken, green beans and chicken n dumplings
with
my boyfriend, Stephen, and his Momma
and

the rest of Ms. Sweazy and Ms. Forberger's class.

Go ahead and start whining that you didn't get to go to Huber's and eat their HEAVENLY food with some of the most awesome Kindergartners and their teachers! Well I did..neener neener boo boo and it was.GOOD!! Jealous yet??  I was asked to come along and help with the kids and I couldn't pass it up.  It was worth being totally exhausted, covered in dust, and even less of a voice (that's a blessing to many) because I love those kiddos, Ms. S and Mrs. F!!. Yes, I know that my kids have graduated Kindergarten, but I haven't! I love working with that age and the teachers are beyond wonderful as well!! We have developed a special bond and friendship that truly is a blessing from God and I thank him for that!

Hi-jacked

Hayley hi-jacked my phone this week at play practice and this is what I found:

Good thing Madison and her are so cute or else....

Eli

Since Lesley and Thom were in  Ethiopia this past week for their court hearing on their second son (they passed and hope to bring Baby Noah home in 8+/- weeks) and Eli
was staying with the Oedy's that meant that I got lots of playtime/kisses in!! It was long over due and we both had lots of fun being silly together.

Cookie Fun

I had been wanting to make come cookies with Clayton and decided that it would be more fun if the Oedy's and Eli joined us!  The kids were so funny to watch and seemed to have a good time. I was too busy helping the kids and putting cookies in the oven, so I stole these pics from Diana. Hey, what are friends for??

Clayton, Lana and Nathan



our cookies:
bats, cats, ghosts and tomb stones
Nathan loved to just eat the cookie dough

Clayton iced his bat cookie all by himself!

Thanks for coming and hanging out with us. I am so glad that we (I) can still play even though my kids are in school.
