Overachiever

Be ready, this is a bragging post.

Landon managed to bring home seven awards from school. Yes, you read that right, seven! I'm a little bit upset with myself for not bringing my camera. I only expected him to receive one award but he ended up being called up over seven times to come to the stage!

Awards:

1. Brunco Run Club-5k Gold Rush Run
2. AB Honor Roll
3. Citizenship Award- This is award to two kids from each class for each semester. Landon was nominated and voted by his classmates for this award.
4. Kiwanis Terrific Kids-Landon's teacher said that "I can aways count on him to do the right thing." Mrs. Hallwachs.
5. Athletics-this award was given to students that showed sportsmanship, coordination, and leadership skills.
6. All Star Student-Student Council for serving on the council and being a good board member.
7.  Art award-Artistic Excellence

I'm so proud of my son...he can always be counted on by his teacher to make good choices, He is well liked by his peers, and doesn't have a problem standing up for others at school.

Landon always gives 100% and I love him so much...Way to go!!!!  Next year, Landon will be in Fourth grade. Where did all the time go??????

 

Busy Busy Hands

I didn't make this, I bought it off Etsy...yes, my hands are busy with online shopping. This will be Lydia's coming home outfit. I have made a decision on the name....Lydia Rose, Leroy will just have to deal with it.

I have been working on this baby blanket for the past couple of months. I hate just sitting around doing nothing especially when you have three kids in soccer and let me tell you that's a lot of time just sitting around and waiting for them to finish their games and practices. I'm finally done. It's so soft and snuggle! Lydia is going to love it!

 I purchase this scrapbook it back when Leah was a baby but I never got around to actually making it. So, I decided to be smart and work on it in advance. It's a 8x8 scrapbook. It's a month scrapbook, I will add pictures for the first 10 months of the baby's life. Super cute, plus I will add more embellishments later on, once I add the photos.

I made something similar for my daughter Leah when she was a baby. It's a baby's first year scrapbook/calendar. I will try to write down something everyday on the calender like milestones plus I made an extra page to add photos. I will also write up a month journal entry. It's getting harder to remember all the details of the kids and it's really not that hard to journal.

I did have my baby shower last night, it was awesome! Lots of yummy food, fun entertainment, and lots of Friends to celebrate the new baby. I will write up another post about the shower. So, I'm all set for the baby, the only thing left to do is to pack my bag for the hospital. I have about four more weeks to go!!! It's going by so fast, I can't wait to wrap her up in the blanket that I knitted for her!

Mother's Day BBQ...Surprise!

A Mother's Day surprise...Leroy and his brother worked up a special surprise for their mother. Last year, while we were in Hawaii on vacation...the guys talked about having William come visit us on the Mainland and visit with his parents. They decided it would be more fun for him to make a surprise visit and surprise his mom and dad! We all played our parts. Landon knew about the surprise for about 3 months and never said a word to anyone. The day, Uncle William fly into the airport...is the day we told the two younger kids. I was really worried that the kids would spill the beans but they didn't! Due to us, attending church at 1:00pm we decided to celebrate Mother's Day at our house on Saturday with a big BBQ celebration. I spent literally all day on Friday prepping food and cleaning up the house for the big day.

Leroy's parents and sister came over for BBQ around 12:00pm. We told them that we had a package from William and we had gifts to pass out in the Sun Room. We all sat down, the kids were being super good. I was really worried that they would say something but they didn't. Leroy passed out all of the goodies from Hawaii. Leroy told her that he had one more thing for her and pulled out a MuuMuu dress for his mom. She was really excited about it. It was a surprise, the dress...she didn't realize it at the time but she had another surprise coming....Leah at this point mention a "surprise" but grandma thought she was talking about the dress.

Leroy told his mom that he forgot he had one more gift for her. He went downstairs and came back upstairs with William behind him. His parents were in complete shocked. They couldn't believe their eyes. It's been about three years since William has come for a visit. Everyone was crying and very happy. So, we had a surprise of a lifetime.

Preschool Spring Program



For six straight years, I have been driving kids to the Bella Vista Preschool at the First United Methodist Church. Yes, six straight years with no break. Landon, Logan, and Leah have all graduated from the same preschool. All of my kids have loved attending preschool...it's not a prefect school but it's prefect for my kids. All three started out as caterpillars and have bloomed into Butterflys! I thought for sure that Leah would break from the Scheele curse of not speaking a word during the program. Leah refused played the part of The Three Bears...she played the baby bear. She refused to speak any of her speaking part just like the boys. She did sing which is more than Logan. He refused to open his mouth one time during his graduation. Anyways, my little girl is all grown up and will be going to kindergarten in the fall. Where did all the time go?

Doc's Appointment

Nothing to report

I'm still pregnant

My blood pressure is still perfect...no problems!

The doctor felt bad that we wasted an hour to see him.

Nothing to discuss.

I have six more weeks to go!

The baby has dropped and is deep in my pelvis. He claims that the baby will not move out of position at this point.

Just waiting to pass the time.

I'm almost done with the baby's scrapbook.

I need to work on  sewing a couple of baby booties

Plus we still need to set up the crib and get a carseat.

My baby shower is in less than two weeks, I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!

We still don't have a name...it's still up for debate: Lucy or Lydia?

Gold Rush 5k

2012

Logan 7 & Landon 9

2010

Logan 5 & Landon 7

Back in 2010, Landon ran the 5k with a time of 29:40 and Logan ran his very first fun run (1k)!

Now in 2012, Landon ran the 5k but a different course of a time of 26:33 a pace of 8:44! Logan ran in the Fun Run again. He came in 12th place but he was the fourth person to come in for Cooper Elementary.

Logan now wants to start training for a 5k! Landon of course, doesn't train because he only like running races. Yesterday at the races, I was so proud of my boys. It sucks that I'm huge and miserable! It was pure toture watching everyone running but me! I'm so proud of my boys!!!!

Landon was the very first student from Cooper Elementary to come in at the 5k race. The boys shirt this year, were bright green. I saw him coming down to the finish line. I was so proud of him. He was kicking butt!!!!!! I still couldn't believe his time. He did an awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was upset at the end, that he didn't win an award. He can him 5th place for his age group but he came in 5th place out of 132 other boys in his age group of (0-9) years old.

If he would just train, he could be even faster!

Logan really wants to earn a medal.

I'm going to sign them up for another race next weekend.

It's a free race for kids!!!!!

We will be there!
