Hannah's birthday/Public Speaking Class

This past Hope was Hannah's 13th birthday. I made cupcakes and frosted them. During Public Speaking class, I brought them in and we all sang Happy Birthday to Hannah.
Bringing in the cupcakes!
Singing happy birthday!
She really did enjoy them!
We all have been assigned to do speeches for Public Speaking class. Tim, Ana, Joshua, Leah, Declan, and Reegan did their's this week. I got pictures of them all except Declan, because he said that cameras make him nervous! Imagine, the most outgoing one in our class was nervous around cameras! His brother, Reegan, is very scared of getting up in front of people, but he didn't mind the cameras (at least he didn't say so) and he gave a sppech that was 4 minutes long. Although it was only 4 minutes, he was up there for 11, because everyone was asking question after question! It was a fascinating speech, though, and everyone enjoyed it! 

Tim stood right in the light, which might have been why he gave such a short speech! LOL.

He spoke about his dad, but went under time, so he tried to think of something about his mom. He couldn't think of anything, though, which was bad because she was sitting right in the back of the room!

Awesome speech!

He was a little nervous, but he did a really good job!

I really liked hers!

The class!

Reegan did snowboarding! It was really good!

He told us that if we could guess what the stump pad was, Mom would give us 5 dollars! No one guessed it though! LOL

Explaining the rules

She did a great job with butterflies!

Welcome home, Daddy!

 Last Sunday, Daddy left for Nebraska for a farmer's convention thingy. (Don't ask me what it was, I don't really care about those kind of things! LOL) Only a couple of us went to drop him off at the airport, but on Wednesday, we all went to pick him up! We are so happy to have him back!

Liz didn't know that she wasn't supposed to smile! 
They're so serious! It took them forever to stay like that, though! 

Selah & Anna

Anna & Anna! It's funny how we are 3 years apart, but have such a height difference. She is Italian, though, so she has a very good excuse!

Awesome dessert pizza!

Hannah & Anna



Hilarious game of charades! We laughed the whole time!

Another group shot!

Katrina's 12th birthday celebration

 Last Friday evening, we celebrated Katrina's 12th birthday. Her actual birthday is Saturday, so she's not technically twelve quite yet! Here are a couple pics that I took. I won't overload you with all of them, I just picked out some special ones!

The birthday girl!

She has always hated having all the attention on her!


MMMMMM! The roses are SO GOOD!


I want a peice right now! It's too bad that we ate it all up already!
