5th Grade Trip 2016

Cody's 5th grade class had the opportunity to take a trip to Eagle Bluff February 29-March 2, 2016.  It was the first time that Gibbs Elementary has offered this kind of opportunity for 5th graders.  The trip gave the students an opportunity to work together and learn some life lessons along the way.

I decided that it would be a good experience for me to be a chaperon on the trip.  The trip was filled with activities from breakfast time to "lights out" at 10 pm.  Needless to say, the trip was exhausting, but I also learned a lot.  It was fun to see the students do things that were at times out of their comfort zone.  I also learned that it can be challenging to work with so many different kids who have different personalities and attitudes.  God Bless teachers!

I am glad that was there to witness my son's experience and am proud at what he accomplished on the trip including a high ropes course that ended in a zip line.  Way to go Cody!

Time Flies

Hard to believe it has almost been a year since I posted anything.  At that time I had good intentions of posting more regularly to capture things going on throughout the year.  Well, I am going to try again. We are getting close to another new school year.  Connor is a senior!  I am still trying to wrap my head around it.  The time has gone so fast.  We went to several open houses for friends of his that graduated this year.  It makes me sad even though I know it is a part of life.  Part of starting up this blog again is to help me put my feelings down as we go through the journey of life.  Cody is starting 8th grade.  One last year of middle school. Both boys make me so proud.  They both continue to play hockey.  Cody is still a goalie and does such a good job in a tough position.  Me, on the other hand...being a goalie mom is not easy.  Almost a year ago my grandma moved in with us.  I am blessed to stil...

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

Still got a chance...

Last week Cody and I had gone shopping. As we were going through the checkout lane he noticed a magazine with Carrie Underwood in her wedding dress on the front cover. He loves Carrie Underwood and even drew hearts all around her picture of one of my magazines. He asked "Mom, did she get married?" I answered "Yes." Right away he said "Do you think they will break up soon?" I told him that if she did break up with him, she likes hockey players so he still has a chance. He said "Good!"
