November 2016

 Breccan had his 5th grade program in November. He looked so DANGED handsome that I had to set up a backdrop and take a picture.

 Saying his speaking part. He did pretty good, not too fast, and fairly easy to understand.

 This dancing with the crowd happened at BayLea's 5th grade performance, and apparently it has become a tradition. (Or maybe it always was...I'd never been to a 5th grade performance before Bay's). Anyway, the last song, they grab people from the audience to dance with them, and Breccan got BayLea out there. It was hard to get a picture, but I got this one, over exposed and blurry.

 Breccan with Mr. Berry.
 The dreaded homework...
 Pretty light pictures... If there is pretty light...we must take pictures. At least according to me.


 This year we did the Operation Christmas Child shoe box project. We had a lot of fun shopping for some boy and girl, and stuffing the boxes.


 Of course, we went overboard...and had to practically SIT on the boxes to make them close.
Next year, I will be more organized and order our labels online so that we can track the boxes afterward. I was last minute, deciding to do it, looking online and finding that we only had a few days before boxes were collected.

 Oh, these two girls...two of my favorite people. So goofy together, and even though there is a pretty big age difference, I think they will always be good friends.

 They do love each other very much. BayLea has always idolized Leah, and I'm so happy that they are good buddies.
 Everyone helping out with the cooking of Thanksgiving dinner.

 The mimi and the pa.

 See that white stuff on Ethan's face? He got BayLea, and then BayLea was afraid to get him, so Mimi got him back with the whipped cream. He is making his famous black bottom banana pie.
 Ethan and Breccan went out to the back of the lot to shoot guns. God, guns are loud.

 And of course, pretty light alert again!
 Ethan's a darned good big cousin to my kids!

May 2016

BayLea was inducted into the Knighthood, which is OMMS's version of the Honor Roll/Deans list type thing.

 She got a spin from her principal. :)

 Getting her award from Mr. LaDuke.


 Breccan was Horace Tabor for his Colorado Character.

 He did a fantastic job on his presentation.

 BayLea was so sick throughout this tournament, but on the last day when they played for either first or 2nd place, she went and played a short time during the game. They ended up 2nd place. Yay!


 Last day of school with Mrs. Weatherly.
 This girl was super excited to be done with her first year of middle school.
 So we went to the pool to celebrate the summer!

 Whoops, these last two should have been before the pool pictures! :) It's again the last day of school, and the kids made solar ovens and made S'mores.

 And Pa played music...
 did his famous hat trick...
And of course cotton candy!
