Kennedy's Field Trip

Last Wednesday, Kennedy's 3rd grade class went to Worldsong to learn about Native American history. It was really cool. The kids learned about making spears, sand art, song and dance, tipis, and animal skin art. They also got to cook hotdogs over a fire. The place was really beautiful. For a snack, the kids got to eat Fried Najavo Bread with cinnamon and sugar on it....I think that was their favorite part.

Carter, the Artist!

Carter's class was chosen to paint pictures of themselves and display them at Zoe's (greek restuarant in Hoover). The pictures will be on display until January 11th. They are all for sale for a donation of at least $20, with all money going to their school. We took the children to lunch there today and purchased Carter's picture. He was so excited and proud! We have to leave it on display until January. So, if your in Hoover go by and look for Carter's picture. He has a red shirt on and a football on it.

Kennedy's Baptism!!!

Today was such an important day for our family, especially Kennedy. She was baptized today at Hunter Street Baptist in Hoover, AL. The man that baptized her was Bro. Mark, who is the children's minister. Because our family lives so far away, many friends from our Sunday School class stood with us. Thank you, Jack, Terri, Brian, Scott, Jill, Everett, Gregg, Mina, and Jeff. Mrs. Hester, Kennedy's 3rd grade teacher, also stood with us. I know there were many there in spirit. Kennedy was so happy and thankful that so many people love her. What a joy to know your baby girl will spend eternity with her Heavenly Father! Click on the video below. The one on top will not play.

Fun Run!

Today was the Fun Run at Kennedy and Carter's school. It was a fundraiser that involved getting pledges from family and friends on how many laps each child could run today. Each class had 30 minutes to run a track that was 1/16 mile. The lap cap was 35 laps. Carter completed all 35 laps. He was so proud of himself. Kennedy completed 33 laps, which was awesome since she's been so sick for the last couple of days. Today was the first day this week, she even went to school. We had to check her out as soon as the fun run was over.

Extremely Busy Week!

This was one of the busiest weeks. I was at the school for several hours each day last week. I volunteered in Carter's class on Monday and had lunch with both kids. On Tuesday, we had the Boosterthon Pep Rally. On Wednesday, we had a Dare Program. Thursday was Carter's Halloween party and Brad had surgery on his face. He has basal cell carcinoma. Friday I went to see Disney on Ice with Carter's Kindergarten class and Brad was in Kennedy's class all day helping with Native American Day. It was Carter's weekend to bring "Izzie" home. Izzie is his class guinea pig, which he says is a pig from the rodent family. How funny is that? Friday was also Halloween, which means trick or treating and staying up late eating candy. Saturday, Kennedy and I spent the day at Camp Coleman for the a Girl Scout Service Weekend. Carter and Brad had golf lessons. Sunday was church and washing cars. Kennedy obviously picked up a virus and has been sick all day. Hope next week is a little less dramatic.
