Fresh Coat of Paint

if you click on the picture you can see the whole house!  I just love the traditional look of Platinum, Black, white and Red.  If Justin wasn't allergic to bees, I think we would have done yellow.  I have always admired my in-laws neighbors house and (I even took a picture) I think this came out exactly the way I wanted it!  Sooooo Happy

Lauren is awarded a "Golden Scholar"
Award

At Lauren's school, they don't award "Golden Scholar" until you are in the 4th grade.  Lauren has worked very hard to achieve this to be just like her sister.  Lauren was voted to give the opening Pledge of Allegiance and was asked to sit with the panel of teachers during the opening. 

Lauren was tickled pink to give the pledge and was so happy that she actually SKIPPED/RAN off the stage!

I just can't believe how BIG she is getting.

Haley is inducted into the "National Honor Society"

If you don't know about the Honor Society, here is the breakdown.  You have a great GPA and you need to write an essay and be approved.  During this next year they must commit to work 40 hours of community service and promote scholarships and school spirit.

 Nicole, Haley and Morgan.  It only shows how wonderful this ward is when 3 girls who grew up together are accepted into the National Honor Society!

Haley earns the "Golden Scholar" Award

So proud of her!  She has earned this every year (so far) :)
