One teacher that has been at the school for a while, thinks that his points were a reacord for the school. He was even more excited then yesterday when he won the AR award from his teacher.

AWARDS!!

Zach won an award yesterday for the most AR reading points in his languageg arts class. He recieved an awarda and a book signed by the author. The book is Touching Spirit Bear. It is an excellent book, if you are looking for something to read.

Tomorrow he will get another award for reading also. He doesn't know about that award yet. I guess they give a boom box too. He will be so excited. Check back and I will have pictures of him with his awards.

Swimming Cousins !

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Anthony and Julie are here on vacation,so we spent the day at Monique's swimming and just hanging out. The kids had a great time. Zara found that she could take care of Charlotte in the pool. Zach did his thing, and Niko had the boys flyin through the air. It was a nice day and they are now in bed.

GRADUATIONS ON THE WAY!!!!

Next Thursday is filled with a busy graduation schedule. First thing in the morning we watch Zach walk the stage to begin his path to high school. Can you believe it HIGH SCHOOL!!! It's been a long road filled with bumps and stalls and some smooth sailing. I can't believe just 4 years and he's on his way to the rest of his life.
Right after we watch Zach, its hurry on back to watch Zara just begin her path. She is graduating from preschool. She is so ready to begin the next fork in the road. I am sure we will have some bumps, stalls and smooth patches as she works her way down the road. Once again I am surprised at how fast she is moving along. Check back for pictures from the big day, next week.

TWO OF MY FAVORITES

 
 
Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from today. Zara loves her red boots,she wears them with everything.

Three days old

 
 
 
 

So I had her name wrong, it's Flaminca, not Flamanca. Here she is today. Flamanco wasn't as nervous today so I was able to get some better pictures and the kids were able to love her. She is hopping around the stall and running around, definatly doing better then yesterday. So I am sure she will be out in the big stall soon.

Baby Flamanca

 
 
 
 
Here she is so very cute! So far they think they will name her Flamanca after her mommy Flamanco. She is doing well today. She gave Sandy a scare this morning but the vet said she will be fine. She is a couple weeks premature so mommy and baby will be spending a few nights in a stall in the barn. Flamanco is a very nervous mommy so I wasn't able to get very good pictures, but you can bet that there will be more to come.
