Colby's Graduation

Colby- A Texas Longhorn!!!

I still can not believe she is coming to Texas. She had so many opportunities for great Universities (USC, UCLA, NYU, waitlisted for Duke- just to name a few). I guess the words full academic scholarship offered to her by Texas meant allot and she is attending one of the best Universitites!

I seriously made a deal with her when she was applying to schools that if she applied to Texas she would have us here and her Aunt Buddy would do her laundry for her every 2 weeks. I didnt ever think that I would actually have to keep my end of the deal up. If that is what it takes to have her here I will wash away gladly.

First she had to graduate from Hilton Head Prep

I dont think that there were any tears shed this day. Everyone knows that Colby was so ready to move on!

I am not exactly sure where all the smarts came that Colby got but we are proud of her accomplishments. Charlene has to be proud of a full scholarship.


How do we celebrate everything in our family?

FIREWORKS


You might ask what is this? Besides one of the cutest kids in the world, he is wearing the lucky ping pong hat. You play much better while wearing it.

Just ask Papa

Mother's Tea at Montessori

Larson is so into his school and loves for any family member to come and visit. Today was finally his Mother's tea. We enjoyed out time together there even though he got bummed out that only the mommies could use the actual tea cups and saucers and then I had the big ordeal of explaining that we did not actually drink the tea. Other than that, he loved me being there!

Quest Independant study

It's a happy day when the presentation is done and we can put four months of study behind us. The actual presentation is Jackson's favorite part of the entire Quest year.

He started his study on rocks and crystals but somehow the teacher got him narrowed down to arrowheads. Did not sound so exciting to me but he was into it.

This was his arrowhead making machine that he invented for his product. It was pretty funny because he put a black rock in and did his steps to then pull out a hidden black arrowhead.

This is allot of work for a 3rd grader but he will be really good at research projects in high school.

Boys and Bubbles

Tom must like cleaning up the bathroom after the boys have a nice leisurly bubble bath. He lets them do it and I just look the other way. How fun for them!!!
