AJ's Spirit Assembly

A.J. was honored at the spirit assembly in February. He received an award for "scholarship." He received a great score on his writing prompt for 3rd grade benchmark testing.

A.J. really didn't want me to take his picture, but I managed to snap a few.

Okay, I know this is a bit mean, but...

I am always amazed at what parents will do to get a good picture at events. Last night, at Michael's National Junior Honor Society induction, there was a woman crawling up the aisle in her business suit and high heeled shoes. I couldn't resist snapping a picture or two.

Michael's Induction to the National Junior Honor Society

Michael was invited to join the National Junior Honor Society earlier this year due to his grade point average (4.0). He had to complete 10 hours of community service within a certain time frame in order to be accepted. Last night, he was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.

We are so proud of him!

Varsity/Venture Basketball Tournament

David is participating in the Varsity/Venture Scout Basketball Tournament. It's just for fun and involves our stake and a few of the surrounding stakes. Here are a couple of photos from their first game on Saturday.

The Habit

A new burger place opened near our house about a year ago, and we have become frequent customers. It's called "The Habit." We went there on Saturday and enjoyed a lovely lunch.

Gardening

Now that we are homeowners again, I've decided to garden again. I've started tomatoes and peppers, and will move them outside once they've sprouted and are growing strong. Here is my second attempt at starting the plants in egg cartons. (My first attempt was going well, but I'd put them outside on a beautiful day, but forgot to bring them in when torrential El Nino rains started. Needless to say, they were ruined.)

I promised more pictures, and here they are!

Here are some more pictures of the house. This is our almost finished Master Bedroom.
