Moves Like Jagger

The boys were trying to imitate the dude breakdancing on the Toyota USA Corolla commercial tonight. And I was trying my hand at iMovie. Check out the results.

So very hard to believe it's already been 12 years.

Explorer I: Ready for flight

Andrew 3rd grade science project was about something in space and he chose the Explorer I as his focus.  He had to create a file card (type of report) & model and be able to present it to his class. 

We were pretty proud of what we were able to do with some PVC pipe, duct tape, a funnel, and some wire (transmitting antennae).  Still waiting to find out his grade. 

Marking His Territory

The same night I found Andrew with the stocking cap on, I also found a little artwork on AJ's sheets.

How I found him....

The other night, this is how I found Andrew sleeping.  No shirt, but a stocking cap.  In bed.  And he showered before bed, so his hair was awesome in the morning.

Pre-Season

AJ wanted to work out so he can get strong to play in the NFL when he gets older, so he thought he needed to exercise one afternoon. (Please ignore the messy game closet in the background)

Pretty Shoes

New Shoes for Mama!  I love them and I'm excited when I get a chance to wear them.

Sentimental Sunday: Sweetest Voice Imaginable

I’ve been blogging for over 8 years. That’s a lot of great and not so great moments documented. I main reason I blog is to remember these times… good and bad. “Sentimental Sunday”, is when I link back and remember posts I’ve written in the last several years.

Speaking of Fish...

Remember when poor little AJ missed almost a whole week of school before Christmas because he was SO very sick?  Well, it happened to be the same week that his teacher chose to "fish" him.  This is where he get recognized in front of the whole school during an assembly. 

I confess, I was a little frustrated that she chose to do it that week when he had already missed two days already.  The flu was rampant and once kids were out, they were out for a week.  So AJ (and I) missed his 'fishing'.  I realize that the assembly is first thing in the morning and often attendance is not taken until the it's over, so if AJ had just missed that one day, I would understand more.  It was a bummer, but I am super proud that she felt he was 'fish-worthy!'

Mrs. Teacher is fishing AJ. AJ has truly been a fantastic fish in our pond.  AJ is always ready to learn and takes on every task with a positive attitude  He is first to get his work out and show the class what a model student needs to do on a regular basis.  He is very attentive listener and always has his hand up ready to share his ideas. Wow AJ, keep up the great work and continue to show excellence in our classroom.

Sentimental Sunday: So you better treat him right.
