Best of Elementary Fair

This year's "Best of Elementary Fair" started with a performance in the auditorium. Grades 1 through 5 were represented, and the second graders combined talents with the first graders to sing a couple of songs (one of which was Yankee Doodle Dandy -- super stinkin' cute!). All grades came together at the end for a grand finale song....here's a picture of Jem getting ready to start singing. How fortunate (pure luck!) that we were sitting in the row right next to where he was standing :).

If you click on the video below, you'll hear some of Jem's grand finale performance. You can also see his best friend, Heather, singing behind him. She's such a sweet little girl, Jem was truly blessed to have her in his class 2 years in a row!

At the end of the performance, the kids went back to their classrooms where they had their projects displayed. Here's a photo of Jem and Heather by his project....

Jem was also happy that his Grandma Carter was able to make it to the Fair. She just happened to be here this weekend for Sarah's Baby Shower :) The Skinner's also came to support Jem - thanks guys, I know he loved having you all there!

Pioneer Woman In Town!!!

Ok, so I'm slightly obsessed with the Pioneer Woman , not like a stalker obesessed....but still....kinda obsessed :). I check her blog at LEAST once a day, sometimes more.... because let's face it, she's a rock star! For those of you that DON'T know who she is, let me explain. Pioneer Woman is a lady named Ree, who lives in Oklahoma. The beginning of her 'pioneering' started when this city girl met and fell in love with a real life cowboy. She is now a married to this man (who she affectionately calls Marlboro Man) and they live on a working cattle ranch with their 4 children. So how do I know about her? Well, a few years ago she decided to start up her own blog - you know, like I have - to share information about her little family with friends and family. Again, like I did :). Except for one minor difference - in 3 short years, she happens to have MILLIONS of visitors a month. That's right, MILLIONS of people follow her! Why? Because she's a rock sta...

Day 13: Their Routines...document what it is they do on a regular basis... Jem has a routine that he always follows when he gets home from school. We call it doing his "Jobs". He unpacks his backpack and gives me his daily folder, then unloads his lunchbox. He goes upstairs and gets into his PJ's and puts his clothes away, and then....well then he practices his Piano lesson for the week. Jem has been taking piano since September, and he really loves it. It's not really a chore to have him practice - he does it willingly and happily. I love listening to him play - and he quite likes having an audience ;) At the moment he is practicing 2 songs - the Star Wars Theme Song (his favorite) & This Is Your Land.

Day 11: Dreams... Today I was supposed to photograph something that represented the dreams of my loved one... and while I was prepared to get my camera out later in the day and do just that - something surprising happened :) So let's just say that this post is now no longer about dreams. Sorry. I decided to just go with the flow, and document my 'surprise' instead. What is it, you ask? Hmmm.... well, let's start at the beginning. My husband is away on a business trip. Gone for what, 7 days already? And he'll be gone a while more. He won't be here on Valentine's day, which makes me sadder than sad. Don't ask me why. It's not like we ever celebrate "valentine's day" anyway. But the fact that I CAN'T even if I decided I WANTED TO makes me feel bad. Boy, I really miss my Brandon. This week has gone by very slowly for us. Thank goodness I've been busy, because I imagine it would have been much worse. I'm thankful for my great fam...
