Almost Done for the summer....

It has been a tough semester just due to the shorten time frame to get all the work done.
I took my Family II final today and have one left on Monday.
One final semester to go. Hooray !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just in time for the kids activities. I have hated missing so much of their lives in the last 2.5 yrs.

I can't wait to hang out with friends, play in my garden, and sit back and get bon-bons.
Mary

She can move those HIPS

Jessi favorite thing is to do the hula hoop. She can do it for hours. She laughs at the rest of
us because we are lucky if it goes around once. GOD gave her a little tush but man can she move
it. We will have our hands full when she gets older.

Football and Cheerleading

Jessi so wanted to do cheerleading last year but my schedule and her small size made we wait. Well, is she so excited to be a cheerleader this year. She has a two day camp then lots of practices. She wants to be a flyer which I have no doubt she will be a great flyer. A flyer is the girl on top of the pyrmid being thrown around.
Alex was a little shy and unsure at first (since we don't watch or play football) but now he loves it. He is actually pretty good. Even in the 100+ heat. You just never know where their talents may be.
What a cute team, I could have never ask for better kids. I'm so very blessed.

New DO's

Alex hated to cut his hair, but it was just too HOT for football practice. He really wanted to have a COOL haircut. I thought a Mohawk would be a good choice. He could not believe I would let him get such a wild haircut. I love it.....

Mike not so much.

SEXY Hair

Alex has always had really short hair, but recently decided he wanted long hair. Well he is blessed with really thick fast growing hair. So the other day he walk in and asked how I liked his

SEXYY hair. I about busted out laughing, but could tell he was serious, so I held it until he left the room. He is growing up way to fast for my liking.

Where has the time GONE.

I can't believe it is already July 8th, I'm halfway through another semester with one to go. I'm loving my clinical and kids love their camp. They wake me up at 6am to make sure they get there as soon as the doors open. So much for sleeping in.

Alex went to Grandpa's for a week. The house was just too quite. We were glad to have him home on the 5th.

Jessi has become a fish this year. She swims daily in our pop up pool. Our backyard looks like a kiddy park with a petting zoo.

We are counting down the time till graduation and I can get my life back and maybe take a picture or two. You never know I might scrapbook again.

Alex's Homework project

Even though they only had a week of school left the 4th graders had this huge project to do.


Alex had to research someone important in American history. He picked the former president Polk, (he thought he was picking POKE, because it was a funny name).
and like all good 4th graders he waited till the night before it was do, to tell us he needed to do an art project to go with his presentation

Of course Mike loves it when Alex homework becomes his. Well after much debated Alex picked sculpture as the art. He ask for Dad's help and this is what Mike whipped out in about 10 minutes from a picture of the web. I was amazed at the ability Mike had and of course Alex helped by telling his Dad what he wanted on the sculpture.

I think I want Mike to do a bust of each of the kids next
