2012 fun...

I haven't posted in a long time... just haven't made the time.  Here are some pics from our events this year...
Here is Grayson's 4th grade music program.  This was the only time we could see him.  We picked the wrong side of the stage to sit at!

 Here is Aleigha's Cherub Choir for 3-5 yr olds.  She loves her teacher - Mrs. Weeds.

Here's Grayson's 4th and 5th grade Upwards Basketball game.  They won their last 3 games!

 Grayson and one of his best buddies, Ben...

 Here are the kids' Valentines that they handed out to their class rooms....

 Here is Aleigha in her most striking model pose!!

 This is a normal site to see - Johnny and Grayson playing with the I-touch.

 Aleigha's bday party... Strawberry Shortcake cake by Jeff!

That's all for now!  :)

Aleigha turns 4 tomorrow and wanted to sing a song....

Robotics Club 2011 - Grayson

Grayson and Ben work together on a part of their team's entire robotic mission.  Their team has 10 members in 4th and 5th grade.  I took a video of Grayson's section.  The entire mission takes 2 min and 30 seconds with each mini-team working together taking turns. They are given a lego robot that they must program on a computer to do certain tasks on the board to get points. This was a practice run with other teams.  The actual competition which will be judged will be at Bradley University in Peoria on December 10th.  The kids learned a lot from watching the other teams and how they completed the same missions.

Aleigha loves singing and her Cherub Choir meets once a week and then performs at church once in Oct, Nov and December.
