David's First Dance

How totally adorable!  The fourth grader's in David's school have been learning some dance moves as part of their P.E. curriculum.  This morning was the big dance day to show off what they've learned ...just in time to be ready for tomorrow night's "Family Valentine's Day Dance" at school. 

Of course I forgot to bring my camera so I had to settle with using my cell phone.  Most came out blurry (I should read my phone manual!) so my apologies.

David danced with 4 girls (haha, only a mom would count) plus me ..and with "the guys" of course.  They danced the waltz, fox trot, salsa, group dance, conga, and free style.  We all had fun (the parents were invited to one dance with their child).

Oh, they were so cute!!  The awkwardness and such were priceless.  Anyway, here they are:

Girl #1

Girl #2

Girl #3

Girl #4

Snack break with "the guys"

Low, low, low, low, ...

He's in the center somewhere

The finale!

Student of the Month

Our precious little girl received a Student of the Month Award today.  We're very proud of her. 

She's been a sponge, absorbing everything she is taught since kindergarten.  She loves to learn and is excelling, especially in reading.  She is at the top of her class.

Congratulations Sweetheart!!

"We'll Be Loyal Scouts"

It's official!  We have a Webelos in the house!!  He actually qualified when he turned ten but we just had our first pack meeting of the year last night so everything wasn't "official" until then.

Handsome like his daddy!

I've got some sewing to do!  He received a few things that need to be secured to his uniform. 

Congratulations Son!  Well done!!

P.S.  Of course I forgot my camera last night at the Blue and Gold banquet.  I took a few pictures on my phone but yet to upload them.  Remind me.  For dessert, the cubs were asked to bring a cake decorated by son and dad so make sure to remind me to include that!

Sophia's $100

I know, I know it's been forever again!  It's getting close.  I feel it in my bones!  I'm going to be Super Mom soon and will have an immaculate house, be on top of capturing and documenting the daily wonderful things my kiddos say and do here on this blog, and of course be able to juggle everything and everyone in perfect harmony.  In the meantime, I had to post Sophia's beautiful note.  It's my favorite school work that the kids brought home this week.

Just in case you can't read it it says ...

As part of the activities in celebrating their 100th day of school, their class was given this assignment:

WHAT I'D DO WITH $100 ...

Sophia's reply: first I'd give money to the church.  Second I'd get a toy mater for my brother.  Finally, I'd get myself a bike.  Sophia

How totally precious is that?!  She was listening ..we had a lesson on tithing a couple of Family Home Evening's ago.  More so, she's always mindful of her little brother, Steven.  And if you notice the order, she put herself last.  Even though her current bike just has a broken training wheel, this princess is getting a new bike!! 

Notes like these are great testaments that we have the best kids!!
