It is Quiet

Ame is at Girls Camp. It's quiet around the house....

Gus the Lion

I was ten years old, May 1979. We had just moved to Heber, Utah from Hidden Hills, California. This is me with our lion Gus.

Ame's Grades

Ame's Grades went DOWN.... she isn't happy about it, but they are still very good. She is a very active young lady, so I think some of her activities caught up with her. No excuses though, she knows she can do better:

Math: B+ (this was the grade that dropped from an A)

Keyboarding: A

Language Arts: A

Library Media: A (What is this? I have no idea)

PE: A

Reading: A

Science: A

Social Studies: A

Spelling: B (this was the second grade that dropped from an A. This is weird because she's a great speller, but she missed a few assignments which dropped the grade. She did get an A on the final test).

Music: A

We need to watch the Math. If she follows the path of the boys, who were both STRAIGHT A Math students at this time, then slowly fell down and away from it. I know it gets harder and is a real challenge. Riley started taking some tutoring and I think we need to consider getting Ame some regular Math tutoring next year right from the start to keep her Math skills and confidence high.

Right now if you ask Asher he will tell you: "I'm just not good at Math." So his confidence is in the toilet. And he used to be a Math WHIZ.

Okay, next will be Asher.

Pictures

If you click on this link you can see a set of pictures I just uploaded to facebook. That makes it a lot easier than uploading them here one by one.

Included are pictures of Jennie in her Black Swan costume. One of me, one of the two cats, and one of Asher and Boo with the flower pots full of herbs.

If this link works, let me know. If it doesn't, let me know. I don't think you need to be on Facebook to make this work:

June 8th, 2011

Well, this is the first week the kids are out of school. We have grades, and by and large they were good. I have them at the office, so I will put them into the blog toady, hopefully. Ame made the A steam in Soccer, meaning she's in the upper division. Her team was split and half the girls are in the B team with some newcomers. I bought her new shows, shin guards, and a new soccer ball. Her first practice of the new season is this morning, at 8:00 AM.

Susie stopped by the office to say hello yesterday, surprising us all.

Lots of wedding planning going on, balanced with yoga, and work. Summer seems to have finally arrived and my 17 year old son wakes early every morning for a meditative walk.

I cooked an Indian food dish with a Kidney Beans that was really good, in a reduced tomato sauce.
