Warren's Birthday

Warren turned 41 on March 6. Since his birthday was on a Sunday this year, we didn't go out. He chose to have fajitas for dinner. We invited his parents over too. For dessert, we had blueberry and strawberry cheesecake (another of his favorites). Here are pictures of our small celebration. Happy Birthday Warren!!!

Carlin received the Presidential Lifestyle Award

Carlin's P.E. teacher started a program at the school to promote more activity for the kids. Carlin participated in two different programs. The first one was the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. She had to at least exercise for one hour a day, five days a week for six weeks in a row. The other program is the Presidential Challenge Award. You can earn a bronze, silver, gold and platinum medal by earning a set amount of points for exercising. Different activities and for how long you exercise are tracked. Carlin earned the bronze award by earning 40,000 points. Here are pictures of the assembly.

Cute pictures of Pepper

We have had Pepper for just over 4 months now. She is doing awesome. She is fully house trained now. We haven't had any accidents for about a month and a half now. She has had all her shots and we took her in last week to get fixed. She was a real trooper. She doesn't like the cone on her head, but has recovered really well. We love her!! Matt took some pictures of her the other day. Here they are!

Medieval Banquet

Miranda's school has a medieval banquet for the 7th graders because that is what they are learning about in their history classes. They all get dressed up in the styles of the time and have a feast. They also compete in different challenges such as jousting. Miranda borrowed a dress from one of our neighbors. She even placed in the top 3 for best costume. She had a great time with her friends.
