Student of the Month

Cameron was chosen from his class to be the Student of the Month for showing excellence in Cooperation. Every month they have a different value they focus on and the teachers nominate a student in their class who has exemplified that value in class. Every class has a different kid nominated. So the parents of the kids who were nominated are invited to come and watch at the school assembly on Friday as they announced the new Student of the Month kids.


Cameron was really excited, but a little shy to be in front of the other students by himself. The teacher wrote on her paper about Cameron that he was a great worker in groups and that he had a good smile and a contagious laugh that other's can't help but laugh too.





The principal is talking about Cameron on his turn to go up. My camera was taking terrible pictures. David thinks because the background is so dark, but I also think it's because our camera isn't the best.
I LOVE MY BOYS!!! David drove home from work to be there. Hooray!!
After all the Student of the Month kids were awarded, they had the special guest come out and entertain, Ronald McDonald! He talked about exercising, he juggled, threw out a huge ball for the kids to toss around with music, and just being a funny clown. Melanie, Jason and Alyssa just loved it and thought it was so much fun. Melanie is excited now to go to Kindergarten. It was a fun morning to start our day!
Update on the Cats: No where to be found, seen or heard. Where are those cats?!?

Great Job it is so exciting when they get these awards. They are so excited and so are you. I think it really helps re-inforce the importance of good choices.

How fun!

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to change up, little specks to take off, small touch ups before th

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah,

TRIALS

We have been preparing for over 4 years for this trial. But nothing, no matter how much you knew it could and most likely would happen, can prepare you when your son's doctor tells you now is the time. "Your son needs open heart surgery." August 24th, 2005, Jason was born in Las Vegas, NV. He was perfect and healthy looking in every way. At his 2 week check up the doctor heard a heart murmur and recommended I take him to the cardiologist. I mentioned that I was flying out to WA in a few days and so I'd probably go when I got back, 3 weeks later. The cardiologist doctor called me the next day after visiting with the pediatrician, asking me to go in to have Jason checked out. It was late and he was willing to stay after hours for us to get there. After an ultra sound of his heart (echo) the cardiologist diagnosed Jason with a very small hole in his heart. Nothing that needed to be fixed right away, unless it started causing problems. So Jason started going every 3 month
