OUR MAY ACTIVITIES




The first picture is the flower cupcakes that Krystal and Kim decorated for Mothers Day. They are done with marshmellows. I thought they turned out cute!
The second picture are necklaces we made at our Mother/Daughter Pig-Nic for Relief Society.
They were easy and fun. We ate pigs in a blanket and the tables were decorated with pigs. And no we did not PIG OUT!!!
The third Picture is of Kim when she received her Medallion for Excellence Award. The teachers
nominate a student for the award and they read why they nominated the student for the award while the student stands in front of the group of parents. This is what Kims teacher said.
"Kim is a quiet, polite, young lady. I am so proud of her. She is very shy yet she works hard to
overcome it. She is willing to stand up and give presentations. She gives her best in all she does.
I look forward to seeing her each day. She is an excellent role model for others."
As a parent it feels good to know you can send your children to school and feel confident they will do the right things and Be Good in the publics eye. I am so grateful for kids that are good, especially for their teachers.
For 9th Grade football, Kyle had a Lift-A-Thon this month. He has been weight lifting at 5:30a.m. every morning. The Lift-A-Thon was for two days, after school. His results were.
Bench Press: 95 lbs
Squat: 140lbs
Power: 65lbs
Hang: 90lbs
for a total of 390 lbs
I guess that is pretty good for our tall, skinny soon to be 9th grader. He is 5' 7" 125lbs.
