Field Day & Battle of the Books

Friday, April 24, 2015

We had Field Day in April and with the strange weather we had this Spring, I actually wore a jacket!

Several kids in Seth's class had earned their AR bandannas and wore them out to Field Day - they looked pretty tough.

Coach Andrews had asked the kids to bring white shirts that they could decorate.  I helped run the shirt decorating table with the art teacher, Mrs. Morse. I was able to sneak off and take pictures of Seth through out the morning.

The afternoon included a softball game between teachers and 5th graders and the Kona Ice Truck. It was a fun, cool day.

That evening my winning Battle of the Books team met at Walker ES to Battle other schools.  The students had all read the same 8 books and played a Jeopardy-like game to test their knowledge of the books. This was my first time and Hummel's first time participating, so we didn't do too well. We learned a lot and will try again next year.

Prom 2015

Saturday, April 18, 2015

After months of shopping and stressing over finding a dress, it was finally the day of Prom.  Melissa was kind enough to spend part of her birthday doing Lex's make-up and hair. Lee was actually pretty helpful with the hair too.

Robbie and his mom came over to do the whole corsage/boutonniere exchange.  Robbie got Lex daisies, which are her favorites.

I made Robbie's boutonniere. Lex couldn't get it on  - so his mom had to take over. They headed off to the park for pictures.

Chris came to take some pics and they turned out so beautiful!

Then they went over to take pics with the group.

They had a Hummer limo to drive them around.

They ate dinner at Brio in Town Square.

Robbie was on Prom Court, so they actually went to the dance.  The line was too long for the formal pictures so they just used the photo booth and took silly pictures.

After the dance, they headed to the Bellagio to see the Conservatory.

They stopped home to change into jeans and then went to Robbie's to watch a movie.  They had a good time and Lex loved her dress and looked beautiful in it.  

Wallace Alan Jenkins

I took Abigail to see a screening of "The Long Ride" on Tuesday night. We were a little late, so we had to run through Town Square and up a long flight of stairs to get in.  The movie was sweet and we had a scare on the drive home. Something about the adventure got Abigail's labor started and she had Wallace the next day. My kids and I took Bo some dinner at the hospital and met their new cousin.

Bo said I was the first to hold him besides his parents and I thought that was kinda funny since I was the first to hold Bo when he was born.

Bo and Abigail kept the baby's name a secret, they were not interested in anyone's opinion. They named him Wallace after our Grandpa Jenkins, which is sweet.

Here are some pics Chris took of him and his proud parents:
