Christmas

 Christmas with my family.

 Yes he has a coat.  I am sure my neighbors don't think so.

 Yes he got underwear for Christmas and he was happy about it.  We teased him for a few days earlier that he was going to have to wear Lance's old ones.  It was funny how angry he got.  Man we are mean.

 The kids teasing the dog.

Everybody was pretty happy.  This Christmas Season was very enjoyable for all of us.

Here's Your Sign

Lucas was chosen as Citizen of the Month.  He gets to have the poster in the yard this month.  We were joking that it was like the honor student sticker for your car.  Well it is fun and we are proud nonetheless.

More Metal

Lance got his top set of braces on Friday.  I think he looks cute.  He is glad that they will be off before he is old enough to date.

Lego League

 In Lego League they designed and built a small robot with attachments and programmed it.  They also designed an invention.  This year the theme was Senior Solutions.  They learned about senior citizens.  They had to do presentations for their invention. The competition with the robot was pretty cool.  They had to make their robot preform functions and each function had a certain amount of points.  Each team had complete the mission in 2 1/2 minutes.

 They won two awards.  They received one for the best robot mission they scored they highest out of all the teams.  Then they won the overall competition and they get to go to the state competition at the U.

The School District recognized them as the Students of the Month for January.  

Jessica learned a lot in this after school club.  They only chose 10 kids out of the school to participate.  It was a fabulous opportunity for her.  It was an enormous amount of work and I am so proud of her.
