Student Body Officers are only 6th Graders. They were elected by their peers. Pretty Cool!! ! He was in charge of a lot of fun projects this year. This was his last assignment.

The Graduation was cool they showed a video with the kids baby pics then their real pics. Principal Young gave a great speech. She is a fabulous Principal. This was a great year for all of the kids.

2nd and 3rd Grade Awards for Lucas and Jes

So proud of this girl. They were signing autograph books at the end of the year. She saw that a classmate wrote YOU SUCK in another kids book. She erased it and wrote YOU'RE AWESOME, before the kid could see it. She told me she didn't want this other kid to have a bad ending to school and start summer vacation like that. Then in her class they all said one thing they learned this year. Her teacher said one thing she learned is that Jessica cares about everyone.

Jessica received the Superintendants Award: She had a 3.75 or higher all of the terms.

They can receive this award when they are 3rd grade and above.

Lucas' grade receives more detailed awards. He received all of the awards possible: Spelling, Math and an award for all around performance with reading, behavior etc.

More Turkey Hunting--No Turkeys

Lucas got his chance to dress up and go hunting. Isn't he so cute?

Turkey Hunting

So handsome, I love a man in camo!!!!

This is up Bates Canyon by our house. It has some great trails and is very beautiful.

Walk softly and carry a big gun.

I guess it isn't too cold for butterflies.

Kerry has been taking Lance Turkey Hunting for the past week. Luckily they have one more week to get it done. They have called in a few Turkeys but haven't had any close shots.
They hike about 10 to 15 miles every time they go. So maybe we should call it hiking not hunting.


Lance had to get his Hunters Ed License so he could go. He studied his book every night. When he took the test he scored 100%. I love his motivation when he wants something.


You have to get up early with the birds. Then wait for your dad to get ready. Side note -- those are Lance's boots.
