Violin Video

Here's the violin recital video!

Violin Recital

On Saturday, Allison and Emma had their annual violin recital. They did really good. Allison has improved so much from last year and Emma is learning quick! Last weekend Allison did a competition where she had to play by herself in front of violin teachers. She received a superior ranking. What a cool opportunity this has been to have free violin lessons! I'll post the videos when I get a chance.

Emma's Haircut

Yesterday Emma got a haircut that was long overdue. Her hair was getting really long. This will be much nicer for the warm weather and swimming that's coming soon!!

Ava's Preschool Field Trip

A couple of weeks ago, Ava's preschool class got to go tour the "donut factory". We went to Krispy Kreme and learned how the donuts are made. The kids had fun. Here are a few pictures:

Jerrod's Award-filled week

Jerrod has had a good week. On Tuesday we attended a court of honor for his scout troop. He received 2 merit badges and 2 rankings which is pretty good.



This morning we attended a special breakfast for Jerrod at his school. He was nominated by all of his teachers for student of the month. We are so proud of him. Only 4 sixth graders received the award. Here is a copy of what his teachers said about him.



They loaded Jerrod up with lots of cool things. He got a school t-shirt, free meal coupons for In n Out and Claim Jumpers and a $10 Borders gift card.

Furry kids hair cuts

Last weekend we decided it was high time that the dogs got hair cuts. We couldn't even see Ginger's eyes anymore. They turned out pretty cute although I think Ginger looks like she has a mullet. They will appreciate it when it gets warmer.

Ava's Preschool Field Trip

Last week I went with Ava and her preschool class to tour Anderson Dairy. The kids had a lot of fun. They had different animals that they used to help tell about the dairy. The kids thought it was lots of fun. They even got a big bowl of ice cream at the end.
