Fun Monday

RDH mom is hosting this weeks Fun Monday, this is what she says...

Here is your assignment:
Vacations...this is the time of year when most of us go on vacations. Show us and/or tell us about your favorite vacation - where you went, what you did, etc. Pictures would be great. Let's all take a trip around a the world via our FM friends!!

We have been a couple of places for vacation. We usually (for the 4th of July) go to my grandmothers house in South Carolina. I couldn't find any pictures from there.

This is when we went to Nauvoo, Illinois

This is the family standing in front of a statue of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.This is us in front of a replica of the Nauvoo temple

This is Molly making a candle

This is Ella making a rope

This is a really big castle-like house that we really liked.

That was Nauvoo, this is when we went to Atlanta, Georgia.

This was actually on an Indian mound on our way back from Atlanta. This is on top of them.

This was climbing up to the top of the mounds.

This was the view from one of the mounds to another.

This was at the Atlanta museum, we were dressing up.

This was a fossil of a dinosaur

This is in the Atlanta aquarium.

We have also gone to Illinois, to visit our cousins, Disney World, and New York City.

Awards Day

Where this is the last week of school, there are tons of awards day. Here are the awards that we got this week. (if i didn't forget anyone, or anything)



On Monday the 19th the little girls (Ella and Molly) got recognized for accelerated reader (ar) points.

Molly, who is in 1st grade, got a medal for getting over 100 ar points.

Ella, who is in 4th grade, got a trophy for getting over 200 ar points. She actually got 510 ar points, but they can't recognize anything over 200 ar points for privacy reasons! They did last year and all the other schools did, but can Hickory Creek? NO!!! They are not allowed, it is against the rules!


All awards from the Warren County Middle School are certificates, unless otherwise marked.
Yesterday, Wednesday the 21, Was Harrison's awards day at Warren County Middle School.

Harrison is not telling me what he got right now, but I think he got like 3 awards.

Nancy Drew

Have any of you seen Nancy Drew? We bought it the first night that it cam out because my mom and little sister are HUGE fans of her. Anyway, we were going to have a Nancy Drew party. We would get all the boys out of the house, invite the Caten girls over, eat Nancy Drew casserole, and watch Nancy Drew. Everything was set and we were going to have it on the day that Nancy Drew came out, unfortunately Ella got sick. This is not just a cold, but something that catches (I don't remember what it was exactly). We had to call the Catens and reschedule :(. That was like 2 moths ago and guess what we did tonight?


You got it! We finally had that party. The boys were going to be out of the house anyway tonight because it was the father son camp out. We invited the Catens, Mathenys, and Solomons. The Mathenys and Solomons couldn't come, but the Catens still could! It was back to the original people. We didn't have the Nancy Drew Casserole though. We had something much better- Waffles. There is a small story behind my waffle maker.

For Christmas last year I wanted a waffle maker, but not just any waffle maker- oh no. I wanted the best kind there was, like at hotels. I wanted a Belgian waffle maker. Christmas at our house came and went and I didn't get it. Then I went to my grandmas for Christmas and I got it! I was soooo excited. when we got home we had the waffles and they were absolutely awesome! They were so good that we decided that when we had all the young women over for the 6 month planning party this is what we were going to have. The party came and all the girls were here and guess what? The waffle maker doesn't work. I was upset. Don't worry though, the story has a happy ending. My mom called the company that makes the waffle maker, told them the story and they replaced it!! :) It was a happy day!

So we had this party with the Caten and the Hale(me) girls. It started about 5:30 and we didn't really do anything until about 6:00. At 6, we ate. then about 7, we put on Nancy Drew. It ended about 9 and we talked and did nothing till about 9:45. Then the Catens had to leave and we got ready for bed. It was a good day, and I enjoyed it.
