February

February was a blur...for you too??   I know it is a short month, but sheeze!  I blinked and it was over with! 

Here are are some of our highlights:  

Grandpa Jensen hosted a fun Valentine's Party for us.  He bought everyone a balloon!

 

Taylor made this awesome Valentine box...a vending machine!!!

Ashlyn made a splatter paint Valentine's Day box.  She got some paint, and cut a straw.  She then sucked up the paint just enough to get it in the straw, then blew the paint on the box.  

Pretty clever!

Connor has wanted a queen bed for a while now.  I found a great one and now he sleeps like a "King!"

Connor passed his Board of Review for his Eagle!!! 

Yay, Yay, Yay!!!

Now we get to plan a Court of Honor.  

Our school had an evening devoted to Abraham Lincoln.  We had a program, music from the kids and a cake decorating contest.   Ashlyn really wanted to enter, so I pulled her out of school at lunch and she decorated this baby all by herself!!!  

We were so proud, and you know what??

Out of 30 cakes...

She Won!!!!  

They had 1 winner in each of the 3 categories, and she won for "most like Abe Lincoln".  Some of the cakes looked professional, but knowing Ash did this all by herself and won, was awesome!
