HERE YE, HERE YE!!!

Today was the long awaited castle day at Michell's school. All of the 6th grade students have to build a castle with certain things built into it. Michelle picked her friend Emily to be her partner. They had fun building it together and some days goofing off. But they finished in time and brought it to school. All the other grades get to come and visist and see the castles and they are encouraged to ask questions. I only took pictures of other castles in Michelle's classroom, but as you can tell there were certainly some neat castles. All the kids did a great job. Their teacher was proud. And Michelle said that her and Emily's castle won 2nd place and is to be showcased in the school library. We are so proud. Michelle was only worried about getting an "A". Great job Michelle and Emily.

The numbers are in....

Just a little update on Michael and his Utah History project. His goal was to get 550 and he topped that. His final score was 618 points. He earned his pizza. I have loved that about Mike... he is determined. Once he gets something in his head that he wants to accomplish... he doesn't stop or give up until he reaches that goal. Good job Michael!!!

THINK PINK!!!

This is what we have all been waiting for.... Michelle is finally in her new room. It took a little longer than we first planned, but she is in and loving it. She wanted black and pink with polkadots. It was fun. Thanks to David for framing and floating and taping and painting the room and to Vincent (David's Dad) for the great polkadots and his help.

Found some old fun pictures to share.

Take Heart little lady... I'll fix your wagon!!

Michael has been working so hard in school for his Utah History projects. His teacher, Ms. Williams (The best teacher ever!) has divided Utah History into segments. This segment in on Utah Pioneers, and Mike wanted to make a wagon. He worked very hard on this project. If they earn 550 points during each segment they earn a pizza. And Mike loves pizza. This was fun... Mike picked out the best box and cut it, then he painted it (with a little help from Dad) and he sewed (with a short little sewing lesson from Mom) the cover, I helped him straighten out some old metal hangers and then he filled it with what pioneers might have put into their wagons. So far he has 308 pionts. He chooses from a list of reports to diahramma's to bringing in food and vocabulary. He has until Feb. 12 to have everything finished. I am sure he will reach his goal of 550+.
