The Summer Countdown

Only two weeks of school left and I am so excited to not have a schedule every day. I know, I know, come the middle of August I will be begging to have them back in school. What have we been doing here? Nate spent the day ripped out a sub frame from another car to replace his sub frame while the rest of us sat in the blistering heat for 4 hours at Becca's last band concert. She did great though and I bought plenty of water and soda in support of the band. Hot dog lunches, yum yum. We are going to try and schedule out our summers so all you friends that live to far away, this is the year to come see us. Just let me know when you want to crash at our house. You can even make us a stop on the way to something better-nice seeing you Angie.

Oh by the way, I am re elected to school board for another four years. Tomorrow is another big meeting but we are almost done until August. I only have one meeting in July! Well back to the same ol same ol.

Smith Family Keeping Busy

Well I thought I would just do a quick update and say Happy Mother's Day to all the fabulous women I know. Today was a day of achievements for the Smith household. Roz has turned 12 and is officially on her way into Young Women's. The girls came and welcomed her in this week by decorating her room with B's. It was close, but the bishop passed her off this morning and she received her certificate.

Becca had her own success today as she received her Young Women's medallion. We are very proud of her finishing it up before becoming a Mia Maid. Way to Go Becca! I am just sad to see her project of teaching Zach and Eliza piano lessons to end; now I have to do it.

I am in the middle of the Beaverton School Board elections but as I am running unopposed, I am feeling confident I will win. I am putting my election energy into getting LeeAnn Larson elected as well. State budget and elections in the next two weeks are going to be keeping me busy. Thank you to everyone for their wonderful help.
