Evening at the Farm

Yesterday was PTO night for the school at a local farm. They have two big mazes and tons of things for the kids to do, right down to potato slinging. Lauren had no problem finding things to do. We had a hard time keeping up with her. George took allot of great pictures, it was hard to choose from them all.

My little Cheerleader

Lauren was in Cheerleading camp this past week. Friday they cheered with the high school cheerleaders at the game. But, Lauren really got into it, as you can see in the last picture. We enjoyed watching all the younger girls cheer and ran into alot of people that we haven't seen in a while. We didn't stay the whole game, just till half time. But of course the Red Rider's Won. WOO-HOO!!!!

College bound

It happened. He grew up. Off to college Josh went this morning. Granted he is still at home, but its that he isn't my baby anymore. Oh, where did the time go. Can we just reverse time?

He was so "pumped" (his word) last night. As we talked last night, he is ready for the school work , and can't wait to get started on it. I am sure that will soon change. I am so glad to see the excitement.

I am just so proud of him..... he is working toward his dream, How awesome!

"My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to"

I love you Josh

Update on Student Council

Well, I thought I would update my blog for all my fellow bloggers. Lauren did not get on Student Council.

We thought she would find out on Thursday, but they voted and let the students know on Friday. Lauren came home on Friday, she was fine, but she said that when they announced who received the most votes, she almost cried.

I guess this was a life lesson. That you don't always get what you want. Though as parents, its hard to watch. But life continues. And for an 8 year old she is "so past it". She is onto Cheerleading camp this week, and cheering at the high school game on Friday. I am sure next week will bring something new as well.

All I can say is.........KIDS................. Gotta love them! :o)

Student Council???

Today is going to be long for me. Lauren decided a couple weeks ago that she wanted to be on Student Council in her school. She had to prepare a speech and then all her classmates have to vote. She wrote the speech herself with a little tweaking from Mom, Dad and Josh. She practiced on all of us. And this morning went over it about a dozen times. Oh, if I could just be invisible and hold her hand while she was doing it. She didn't seem nervous at all, but the thought of her wanting something so badly and possibly not getting it, just makes me nervous for her. I am just so proud of my baby. I guess I will have to wait an see at 4:00 when she gets off the bus to see what happened. UGH ~ What a long day this will be!
