I am so not good at blogging! I haven't updated this thing in over a year! I do well to keep my facebook page up to date! Well our sweet Shandi girl graduated from high school tonight. Can't believe I have a "grown" child! She is as sweet as ever! Best part is that I didn't have to cry at graduation cause she is going to live at home at least this 1st year. Yay!!! I will still get to see her every day and wash her laundry, cook for her etc... She is going to UCO and I am happy to report that she got a nice scholarship from the Lion's Club.
Our younger girls are growing up fast as well. Shelby is going to be an 8th grader this next year. She has lots of friends and is very social as always. She is going to start taking voice and piano lessons over the summer. She is really looking forward to it! She recieved the director's award for choir this past week at her school awards assembly. She loves to sing! Shelby will go to LDS girls camp and to SWOSU Choir camp this summer!
Sophie has gotten so tall this year. She loved 1st grade and is looking forward to going to Fogarty school next year. She did so well in spelling this past year and made 100 or more points on almost all of her spelling tests. She made lots of new friends in Guthrie including a precious little girl with Down's syndrome named Zoey. She loves Zoey so much and helps her in PE to learn all her motor skills. Sophie got a "Caught Caring" award for working with Zoey, but what makes me proud is that she would have done it without any recognition. One day when I was checking her out of school early to go on our spring break trip to Branson, she told me she just had to stop by Mrs. Tubbs room and hug "her" Zoey before she left. She has lots of love in her little heart. I wonder if she will work with special needs kids in the future?
Well, I'm off to dreamland. I have to get up and prepare for Shandi's graduation party! We are having a cookout in her honor here at home. Hope lots of our guests can make it by to say hi and help us celebrate!
