"I'M WINNING"

Nick taught the kids Settlers of Catan last night. They had tons of fun and wanted to play again, but it was bedtime. Dayton woke up early this morning and said he was going to play against himself. I told him that would be fine, but to be as quiet as he could be because I needed to do homework. I didn't hear a peep until Nick came down and asked Dayton if he was playing against himself. Dayton then replied "Yes, and I'm winning". He was totally serious too. He was also trading resources with himself so he would win. The last thing he said was "I'm mostly white"( because white was winning). Kids are hilarious!

JUMP STREET

Dodge ball was a favorite for the kids!

The foam pit was fun to jump into, but hard to get out of when your old.

Superman!

FALL FESTIVAL

There is an authentic 1950's and 1980's farm that is fully running. It has original houses,barns,a school house and several other buildings. They have a fall festival every year, it was tons of fun! They had old time kids games and tons of other activities. It was a great way to start Saturday off.

2012 SUCCESS

LARRY KING

MICHAEL J. FOX

THE STAGE IS RIGHT UNDER THE JUMBO TRON, WE HAD GREAT SEATS.

MADISON'S GOOD FRIEND SAVANNAH WENT

SUSAN ORMAN

JOHN WALSH

BILL COSBY

We had the opportunity to attend the 2012 success seminar in Denver. It was so amazing to hear the personal stories of these amazing people and many others too. Very inspirational and I am so glad that Madison and her friend wanted to go. This was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. Savannah said she knew what she wanted to study in college after going(economics). Madison said that she wished she was alive in the 80's so she could marry Michael J. Fox. She was very touched by his story and amazing attitude after all he has been through and will face ahead. John Walsh told the story of his son and the details of how he came to do what he does today. So awesome!!!!!

DELANIE'S BEST DAY

FIRST TIME BEING GOALIE

TEA PARTY FOR ACHIEVEMENT DAYS ACTIVITY

LITTLE PIGGY IN HER 3RD GRADE PROGRAM

Delanie said it was her best day with a gigantic smile. She went from goalie(which she loves), to all done up for a tea party. She literally got home from hockey and had to rush to get all pretty for her Achievement Day's activity. It was fun to see the difference, and to see the huge smile she had for both. She was also recently the little pig for her school program. She still loves animals.......

DAYTON'S STORY

A REALLY ROTTEN DAY

I HOPE I NEVER HAVE ANOTHER DAY AS BAD AS THIS ONE. IT STARTED WITH MY DOG. HE JUMPED ON MY BED AND WOKE ME UP WITH A THOUSAND LICKS. AFTER I WOKE UP I WAS EATING SOME LEFT OVER PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST. MY DOG JUMPED AND PUSHED ME TO THE GROUND. BAM!!! I WAS ON THE GROUND AND MY DOG WAS EATING MY PANCAKES. THEY WERE MY FAVORITE BANANA PANCAKES. THEN I HAD TO WALK THE DOG AND HE POOPED ON THE SIDE WALK. I TRIPPED OVER A ROCK AND LANDED IN THE FRESH DOG POOP. I'LL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER DAY AS BAD AS THIS ONE.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS SOOOO CUTE, IT REMINDED ME OF KENZIE AND HOW GREAT SHE IS AT WRITING SHORT STORIES AND POEMS. SHE STARTED DOING THIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. ONE OF HER POEMS WAS SENT BY HER TEACHER TO A BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED.
