Science Fair project

Tonight we had the privilege of going to Modesto to the County Science Fair Awards ceremony. Jordynn's project, which had advanced from school to the county won a GOLD medal! Yay!

I forgot to bring my camera, or else I'd be able to post pictures of her receiving the medal, along with the project's big blue ribbon on it. I'll post those later.

When we arrived tonight, Jordynn's project had a little note attached, advising us to check with a woman in charge. She told us that there were 192 science projects, and they were requesting to keep the top 8 to display in the county district building for 3 weeks. Jordynn's was one of these top 8. In fact, her score was 98/ 100!

Some credit, of course, goes to dad who helped out with the construction of the launcher, mom helped with computer details, and Aunt Kristi helped out with graphics. Here is a picture of her actually conducting the experiment and the poster board before she turned it in.

Relay for Life, 2010

This year the girls and their teams were invited to perform at the annual Relay for Life event down town.
This was Ashtyn's first performance with Trinity Dance Center (hip hop). She was both nervous and excited. She performed very well. Check her out in her way cute and hip little outfit. We all want her hat for our own wardrobes. She did GREAT and we are so proud! Go Ashtyn!

Kaylee performed wonderfully as well. It was fun to see how much she has improved and learned since beginning cheer. Here is a small clip of one of her tumbling passes which they always do after their main performance. One of these days, I'll post the whole show on here. :)

A fun birthday gift!

Here's a fun birthday gift I just painted for my friend's daughter that just turned 6. She's been needing a stool to help her reach the bathroom sink better. One of those things they keep meaning to get, but keep forgetting to do. So, amongst a few other small gifts, I decided to purchase this cute stool at Target, then painted the flowers, butterfly, and her name, and finished with a matte finish spray. Both daughter and mom LOVED it. :)
