In an effort not to BORE you too much with all that the Stuarts are doing (DAD!) I decided to finish up the school year in one condensed post.
So here you have it:
Jake finished another year in Cub Scouts with a District turtle race. What the heck is a turtle race, you ask? So did I! Read on...
Here's Jake hard at work sanding his turtle masterpiece.
It's all in the wrist. Jake practicing to get the movement just right, as to own all the rest of the Scouts.
Jake named him "genetically mutated camo turtle".
Here's a visual example so you can better understand what they are trying to accomplish.
Next up is Coree:
Here she is walking the stage to receive her high honor roll certificate...
Coree keeps VERY good company. Her best friend, Belle, not only received Principal's highest honors (4.0) but was named 6th grade student of the year for their team! Awesome job, Belle!
Way to go Coree!
Patrick made high honor roll...but since I didn't get the notice for the assembly...I have no photographic evidence. So instead of honor roll, you get Patrick on the roof, contemplating his next parkour roll (look it up).
And Troy...what else is new with Troy? He received his Scripture Mastery award in Seminary for the third year running. Three down, one to go. Sweet!
And finally, the annual piano recital. We are so thrilled to have found such a fantastic piano teacher here. We were so sad to say goodbye to Sonia, but Melene has just picked right up with the kids and they are doing great! Here's a shot of each kid introducing him/herself. Some were hammier than others. I'll let you guys guess who...
Jake Bond
Coreena Jellybeana
The ladies man...
Troy Aikman
You'll be relieved to know that the end-of-the-school-year extravaganza is winding down...meaning our blogging should now center around more exciting things.
You know...like what we're eating...and toilet paper!

ok, you really need to teach my how to be a mom like you, because I think your kids are AMAZING, at least in my primary class they are. thank you for rocking the motherhood 'job'.
Sue, you are too kind, and give me too much credit! But if you're looking for pointers, I'd say you are already off to a great start with your kiddos...you can tell they are very happy, confident and loved! And thanks for rockin' the Primary teacher job! My kids always come home with rave reviews!

So whats THAT about?? You musta missed my reel fine joke . . . if you get a notice to attend an assembly, it for one of your children's honors . . . like what else is new. To borrow an old submariner's phrase . . . HELLS BELLS!! Thats not boring. The yawn was humor . . . not Leno for sure, but kinda funny!

Dad...I guess the joke is on you! I was just playing along...I must have inherited that dry sense of humor from somewhere!
Love,
Carrie
At my age I fall down easily. The joke is ALWAYS on me.
The only teacher recognition I EVER got in high school was a smoke-up (one way ticket to principal) for discharging disappearing ink on my English Teacher, Mr Adams . . . donno why I thought it was a good idea. It is just that he was so British and proper. I believe he actually thought it was real ink, and an accident. When the blue splotch did go away (whew) 10 minutes later, he called me to his desk, handed me the ECVHS bad behavior form with "writting on walls" checked, but with walls crossed out and the word "teacher" in its place.
My father was notified (mental picture time) but no assembly was called in my honor.
Dad
Hey, at least the Army still took you...and let you FLY, no less!
And it makes for so much more interesting stories...but don't tell my kids that! ;-)
