Our little Mollie Dog


Mollie is turning out to be a really good doggie. She is doing great! Mollie loves playing in the water. Who ever thought that pugs liked water.. but she does. She loves her baths, showers and especially the sprinklers. She loves her Daddy and loves to snuggle and hog his side of the bed, thank goodness. During the day she is following me around at my feet whether I am sitting at my computer, where she has her bed under the desk, or walking around the house doing chores. She loves PB and Tiger and once in a while they play chase and the kitties are not the only ones who get a turn. All in all shes a keeper.. We love our Mollie Dog!

The Newest Member of the National Junior Honor Society

The end of May Emily was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Of the 200 7th Graders, 30 where chosen to fill the graduating 8th grader spots this upcoming year. The selected students were chosen not only because of their high GPA but also based on their service, leadership, citizenship and character.

The symbol of the torch represents the motto
"Light is the Symbol of Truth"
THE NJHS PLEDGE:
I pledge myself to uphold
The high purpose of the National Honor Society
To which I have been selected.
By word and deed
To make its ideals
The ideals of my school
And of my life.

We are very proud of her and the goals that she sets for herself. She understands that it takes hard work and lots of determination to be the person she want to be and has no problem with that.

Great Job Emily!!

May Spring Performance


I know I am a little behind in my postings. A month or so ago Emily had her spring recital. Its always fun to watch the kids dance and see how much they have learned over the year. Not much to say about the performance except, WOW, they are getting really good.. Below is a picture of the kids in the group. We have 39 dancers this last term which is fantastic!!

What is Fshion?

I can hardly get over the fact that July is almost here. Where does time go, I mean really.. come on. If I only had a few more hours in a day I could really be accomplished!! Right now my life is consumed with Irish Dance. I don't mind because it is what Emily loves to do. I can never seem to get her to stop "bopping" around.

In May her teacher spent the night for a Saturday workshop. Emily and her new bestest friend Jazmin decided that they were going to have a "fashion show" - mind you, it was very late at night and the girls were extremly silly. Lauren is such a kid at heart and a good sport :)
