Jaycee's Second Grade Program

Jaycee has been working on her term project for several weeks, and it turned out so cute! They had to do an Animal Report, she picked a dolphin. She had to sculpt a dolphin out of clay, then write a report, type a report, and then put the dolphin in it's natural habitat. Then at school she had to do an oral report.
 She did great.
 The same night was her second grade program.  She was so nervous I had a hard time getting her up with the rest of her class. Lately she has been having some pretty bad anxieties. This day one definitely manifested.
 The important thing is she did it. She didn't let the fear control her.  And she tried her best to look happy even though she was very scared. She really is amazing.
 It was really cute, they sang songs, each class had memorized a poem, and they had a little slide show.
I was really far away so I didn't get the best pictures. 
I can hardly believe that second grade is almost over. Time is going by way to fast! I sure love watching her grow!

Shenanigans

One night in February I was making dinner and accidentally knocked a big box of Nerds on the floor! Lucky for me this is one chore the kids were excited to help me with.
 Wesley thinks we should do this every week!
 This was Bensen's first taste of Nerds...Yum!
 I think Bensen was just shocked that I was letting him eat things off the floor.

 I think I have posted pictures of Wesley's food people before, here he is at it again.
We had some fun the other night right before bed, the kids were literally bouncing off the walls!
 Bensen has been working on blinking his eyes.
 He's getting pretty good at it.
 Bensen took his first bath in the kitchen sink.
 And he loved it! I liked it too, no bending down and getting all wet.  We might have to do this more often.
 Sunday night we had to take some picture because I did my hair straight! I really can't even remember the last time i did it straight.  It's been over a year at least.  Usually after I do it straight I chop it off because I can see how damaged it is.  It wasn't that bad this time.
 The kids love climbing on Mike.  He is such a good dad.
 Bensen was so tired, he wasn't really in the mood for pictures, but we made him anyway.

I sure love my family and I am so glad they are mine.  We have our moments, but I wouldn't trade them for anything!
