WCE Open House

Willow Creek hosted their open house this past week. Jack got out of the car and said "It's my turn!"

He was so excited. Here he is with his lst grade teacher, Mrs. Hebert.

Here is his dragon picture he made.
Here is the hit of the night, Jack's ME. He carried this around all night and had the most fun showing everyone.

Jack raced through WCE like speed dating!

HHE Open House

Hidden Hollow Elementary hosted their annual open house this week. Bailey posed for a picture next to her desk. She made sure we looked at how neat and organized that it was in and out. Bailey just loves her 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Brendle.

Here is a picture of Bailey and her art work that was displayed in the hall.
It was such a nice night. We also got to see all of our past teachers and lots of our friends. Looking forward to Jack's open house at WCE later this week.

12th Anniversary

Yesterday, was our12th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe that twelve years have pasted since we say "I do" at the Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas.

Here we are now, two kids later.

It's been a great twelve years. Can't wait to see what the next twelve bring!

Cracker Candy

Here is a delicious idea for Valentine's Day! Made this easy cracker candy for all the kids teachers this year. Placed them into zip lock sandwich bags and then topped them off with these cute bag toppers I found at Hobby Lobby. Jack passed his out of Friday and got rave reviews!

Here is the recipe for the Cracker Candy
15 sheets graham crackers
¾ cup chopped Pecans
1 ¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
½ cup semi sweet chips
½ cup white choc chips
Grease a jelly roll pan. Divide graham crackers into small sections and place in single layer in the bottom of the greased jelly roll pan. Sprinkle nuts over crackers. In a sauce pan, bring brown sugar and butter to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Pour over graham crackers. Bake 10 minutes at 350o. Immediately remove sections from pan and place onto waxed paper. Melt dark chocolate & white chocolate in micro wave and drizzle over cracker sections.

ENJOY!

2011 Science Fair

Bailey wins 3rd place for 2nd grade in the HHE Science Fair. She did Longer Lasting Bubbles: Made dish soap & water bubble solution as the control. Tested if you added lemon, sugar, glycerin, or corn syrup to see if any would help make the bubbles last longer.

Here she is with her friend, Jacob. He won second place.

Great job Bailey!

Little Blue Penguins

Bailey had to do an oral report on a penguin. She selected the Little Blue Penguin. She got an A+. Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Brendle, and her presentation board.
