Goofing around with the Ipad

Brent and I were playing around with the Ipad camera.

I am so blessed to have him in my life!

Conner and Mommy

We took Parker to help his friend Adam with his Eagle Scout project and it was at a very pretty park so Conner and I went and took some pictures.

Spelling Bee

Conner won the spelling bee for his classroom so he got to compete in the school spelling against other students.  At first I thought it was only against third graders but it was actually against 3rd, 4th, 5th graders! Waiting for the spelling bee to start. He got all of his words from the third grade list that he was asked correct but missed two words, I think they were from the 4th and 5th grade words' list.

He did a great job.   He did not win the overall competition but he did awesome and I am so proud of him. With his certificate.

Junior Master Model Builder Ultimate Build Off Competition

In December when we went to Legoland Parker entered the competition for  the Junior Master Model Builder for the month of December.  We got a phone call from a lady named Audriene Wolfgramm. She told me that Parker had won the competition.  What is interesting is that I know quite a few Wolfgramms in the church and so I asked her if she was related and yes she was. She is a cousin to a good friend of mine.  She is a member of the church and she is in my stake.  All of the Wolfgramms are related to President Wolfgramm, Alison's mission President.

The trophies and prizes. He got 4 annual passes to the park and water park with free parking and  Legoland products.

One of the prizes was a tour of the Model Shop with a Master Model Builder. This is where they keep all of the pieces for the park. They have tons of Lego pieces. No one is allowed in this shop so it was a treat for the kids to go inside.
