Alexus and Shelby had their field day on Friday. I went to their school at 7am with them and let Ashleigh and Alissa eat breakfast with them. After breakfast we went to Alexus' room and braided all the girls hair for their parade. They were Jamaica as you can tell from the pictures. Thank goodness a few of the moms braided their hair before they came to school because we were braiding hair from 720am til 925am and it was suposed to start at 930am. It was delayed 15 min due to water getting in the gym. Saturday Alexus had her AAA competition. She was so excited to go and compete. She loves to write and so she choose to do the creative writing. She WON! Yep she got a gold medal! She had to go in a classroom and write for 30minutes. She wrote 6pages, skiping lines of course. I am so proud of how she loves school. I wish Shelby liked it as much as she does. Her coach Mrs. Quick told her to make sure she tells her 3rd grade teacher next year that she won and wants to compete again. She told her to make sure she is assertive. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Oh! Btw, Andy has decided to go back to school and finish his Bachelors. I am so proud! He has worked so hard to get to where he has and for what we have. Our kids are amazed that you have to go to school after you graduate. Shelby thought he meant he was going to high school. We had to explain to her that we had already graduated from high school, and he was in college. Kids have such imaginations.
