Spelling Bee--Part II



Kyle was top speller at his school spelling bee a few months back. Thursday night was the District Spelling Bee. He didn't win, but he stayed in until the round just before the final top ten! There were 38 students to participate. His word he went out on was electioneer--not one I was too familiar with! They all did a great job!

Teacher's Appreciation (last week)





This project was fun, but a lot of work! I do want to make them again someday. I am in the PTO at school so we try to do lots for the teachers. A lady brought in her chocolate fountain and parents sent in fruit for it. It seemed to go over very well!

Greetings to all of you out there! (If you are still there!) I wouldn't be surprised that not many are still checking this out since it has been forever since I have posted anything! I have posted a few things on Face Book--it just seems the quicker way to post, but I do like keeping up on here, too.

April flew by with a special trip over Spring Break to NE. That was such a special time seeing so many special people. We had a family reunion and six of us seven kids were there. Our cousin, Dawn, was also there. It was special to get acquainted with her (and her family). I think there were 45 of us there.

On our way home we got to stop in IL and see our other special "family"! The kids have grown so much! It was fun to see the "big" kids and "little" kids together!

Stay tuned and I will try to get caught up a bit!
