Garden and veggies

We've been working hard in our garden this year. We have had some success. Here is what we have so far.

 In the photo above  are mustard greens (yummy!), cucumber, zucchini, and a volunteer plant that we think will be a melon plant of some kind.

School Awards

In May the kids had their school award ceremonies. Here are some pictures from the events.

Luke received a trophy for maintaining A's & B's all year as well, but I can't find his pictures. Oops!

CERTIFIED

I AM A CERTIFIED TEACHER IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA!

Happy Day!

All Stars

After a GREAT regular season of basketball, Sarah was invited to play on the county all star team. After a couple weeks of practice, they lost their first game in the state tournament. As they prepared for an extra invitational tournament, they were invited back to the state playoffs. It was our county's turn to host the state playoffs, and a lot of the teams from south Alabama didn't want to travel this far. As a result, her team was needed. Friday night she and her teammates WON against a very tall Hoover, Alabama team. It was a great game, and Sarah scored 4 points for her team. She is an outstanding basketball player and a great sportsman.

Today they played again, but this time they played a tall, very athletic all black team from Hobson City, Alabama (near Oxford). Our girls held their own during the first quarter, but once the other team got settled, they scored like mad. Those girls were fast! They beat us by over 20 points. I would love to watch them play again.

Anyway . . . Congratulations Sarah on a great season. You are AWESOME! (I hope pictures will be forth coming).

Biking

The last couple of days Paul has been trying to teach Luke and Leah how to ride their bikes. We have attempted multiple times in the past, but I think we have had real success this weekend. Luke and Leah rode many times around the track. They are begging to ride. On the way home, Leah even asked if she could ride some more when she got home. SUCCESS!!

NEED TO POST

I just felt the need to post something. Unfortunately, I didn't take a single picture while Laura and Bryant visited, so here is another photo from the month. One is proof that Luke played basketball this year. I think the ones of Sarah are on the other camera. So check back.


These next photos are from last fall, but they are so cute I wanted to share. Throughout the football season they have a variety of themes for pep rallies. This particular theme was "Punk."
