archery

Each league night ended with a fun game.    Last week, they folded dollar bills up.  If you hit it, you got it.   He was in the middle skill group, so his dollar bill target was folded in half, and the targets were 30 yards away.  

Rushmore and Bailey

Our neighbor got a Golden Retriever puppy a few weeks a go.  His name is Bailey.  Rushmore and Bailey are going to be great friends.  They run up and down the fence together, and try to wrestle through the fence.  Sometimes I find Rush just laying next to the fence waiting for Bailey to come outside.  We are also seeing signs of a holes being dug....on each side of the fence.

Trip to the zoo

A few weeks ago, Megan and I went to the zoo.  It was one of the 70 degree days that we had.  It was packed!

 The otters were very active!

 As many times as I've been to the zoo, I don't think I've ever seen the porcupine up in the tree before.  Megan was not nearly as entertained with this as I was.

 Megan liked studying all of the maps.

Mid Winter band concert

The boys had their mid winter band concert last week.

End of year 7th grade tourney

Jonathan's end of year basketball tournament started yesterday.  They played Dickinson first.

 Tyler misses this shot

 Jonathan got the rebound

 He throws up a nice hook shot for 2.  Didn't get that on film because I had to cheer.

 I think Jonathan is gaining on #50.  He used to not quite clear his shoulder

The boys won this game.  They played Horizon next, and lost on a buzzer beater after fighting back to tie it.  It was a great, hard fought game by both teams.  Play for 3rd on Monday night.

Students of the Month

Waaaaaay back in November, Eric was awarded Student of the Month.  I am only aware of this because the Middle School puts in on their fb page.

Jonathan was named Student of the Month for January.  I also only know this because of fb

Megan's news story

Megan wants to be a journalist when she grows up.  At least that is what she wants to be this week.  Here is her first article.  I did make a few corrections, but if she writes more articles, I will copy them as is.

By Megan LaFleur.

I had fun at the swim meet.  It was scary, but I had fun. My Grandma and Aunt and cousin, mom and dad were there.  My couch Matt was there. He is so funny, and the best couch in the world. He  is fun.  I swam the 50 back and 50 breast stroke.  I was going to do the relay freestyle race, but they did not do it!  I got a large milkshake!  It was great.
