The Bright Eyed Brunette

There was a week at the beginning of February when we had 3 science projects due! Here is Carlie, presenting hers.  She was SUPER nervous but did a great job and pulled an A :) Makena Faith was actually the last to have to present her project. She did a great job, and of course made an A!   And this was Trey's on the Humpback Whale His was on a much smaller scale, but he also did a great job. He even played sounds of the Humpback!  He got an A :)   So that is it!  We completed all of our projects and presentations, made all A's, and I think I got a few more gray hairs!  Who would have thought this could be so stressful for Mom?!   Much Love, Beth      

Carl turned 36 this month!  He ended up having three birthday cakes :) His boss's wife made a delicious chocolate cake, his mom brought him a cake, and my mom bought him one from Sam's. He had a very fattening birthday to say the least. We also went to eat Mexican and Trey insisted that they sing to him. He was a little embarrassed, but T thought it was hilarious!   Carl and Trey worked hard on his tractor Valentine box.  It's like a big competition in his class to see who can make the best box!  No bought boxes around here. He was very proud of it :) Carl sent me and the kids flowers and balloons and Trey got a bear and a balloon. I always tell him not to, but he always does it anyway....he's a good man! Sunday night my parents took my family, my sister and her kids, and the preacher out to eat Mexican...yes we had just eaten Mexican the week before, but we do not turn down a meal!   My dad and Makena were sitting right across from
