TO GOOD TO PASS UP

Levi has a persuasive letter to his teacher due this week. He ask me to look over it and offer any improvements that I wanted to. I thought it was good, he made good points, and he made me laugh. You all know that scores big points with me! I ask Joe what he thought of the paragraph that made me laugh, and we agreed it should stay. I helped him reword it just a little, to improve his grammar, but the gist is still there. Since you know I love to share, here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

My second reason for limiting work is my parents don't know some of my work. They had different schooling when they were taught. If I have questions about my work and my parents are clueless. It could lower my grade. If it lowers my grade, I could get held back.

So, there you have it. What he really thinks about us. I thought we could add that it wouldn't be a problem since he had a smart older brother that had good schooling. So, go ahead, pile on the work!

TIME

I started out today wanting to clean up my blog a little. The last couple of post didn't turn out right, so it needed a little work. Then I started looking at it....then I started noticing something....most all my post lately have been short but with a photograph. The shortness is just my lack of time to spend sitting around. I kind of miss it, but what I miss most is time to craft. I know I am doing a lot of good with my volunteer work (it is very rewarding) and the classes I have been taking (very rewarding too) but I get a lot out of creating too. I have several unfinished projects just begging me to finish them. It wouldn't take much, just a little time, maybe even the time I am spending writing this. But, we all make choices and this is one of them. I guess I feel like there will be time to craft, volunteer, play.....all the things I love, in time.

HAVING FUN!

I'm feeling a little different these days....

JACK

These pictures are sooo funny! I wanted to take his picture, but he
kept closing his eyes. After a couple, McKenzie told me that's just
what he does. Well, we can't have that! I finally got one with his
eyes open. The great part is, I got some good ones of Hannah in the
process. I love our family!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!

My baby turned 17 today! He is such a great guy, so talented and
smart. Generous too!

Shares his birth day with his cousin. Happy Birthday McKenzie!!! We
love you!
