Lots going on! 

The kids are doing so well in school, we are very proud of them both. 

Ben has gotten a certificate for reading over 2 Million words at school now.  He is reading books at least a grade level above him.  I'm so glad he enjoys reading.  Ben is also playing baseball again this year.  He has moved up to the "major league" for 11 and 12 year olds.  He is learning a lot and enjoying it. 

Myranda was recognized by the American Association of University Women (Colville chapter) for her accomplishments in Math.  She has also been asked to hand out flowers at the Kettle Falls High School graduation ceremony this year as she has the highest gpa of all the girls in the jr class. 

The Woodland Theatre spring choir concert is coming up this weekend (May 10th and 11th).  David, Myranda and I will all be singing in it this year.  It has been a lot of fun rehearsing songs from the late 60's and 70's.  I am thinking maybe I can turn a pair of my jeans into some bell-bottoms to wear to the performance.  ;)

great grades!

Both kids brought home straight As on their report cards for the semester!  Myranda did this while having 3 AP classes in her schedule and Ben is also the best reader in his grade. 

So very proud of our kids!

1,000,000 words read!

So proud of Ben.  He was awarded a certificate from the librarian for reading One Million Words so far this school year.  These are counted by what books he has read and taken reading tests on.  He is the top reader at the school in 5th grade, with 60 more A.R. points than the second highest reader.

We are very proud of him and so glad he has a love of reading!

Way to go Ben!
