For the third time in a row, Baylie made the all-A honor roll. She works very hard and takes her studies seriously. We're proud of her and her efforts. We are also grateful that she has friends that are such a good influence on her.
Jalen filled his reward jar and as his prize decided to take the family roller skating on Monday. (The local rink has a deal on Mondays - $6 for the whole family.) He was very excited about it. (Me, not so much...I couldn't skate before the surgery and will never skate again.)
Excited to skate! (my phone does not take great action shots)
He's up...
...and he's down.
...way down.
Baylie had just finished Run Hard. She was exhausted by the time we were done. But like Jalen, she was determined.
Smooth moves.
On Thursday, I went with Jalen on his field trip to Saluda Shoals. I was actually substitute teaching for another first grade class so I was a mom and teacher. It was exhausting! Saluda Shoals is beautiful. I forget that.
Most of Jalen's class with their teacher, Morgan Rohrbaugh.
This morning - Saturday - the Primary had a temple trip. The kids were encouraged to touch the temple.
They look so innocent.
After the temple, we decided to go pick some strawberries. There's a strawberry farm just down the road from the temple. When we pulled in, the car next to us heard the Primary music we were playing and told us they were Mormon too! Such a small world. Strawberry picking is always one of our favorite activities.
I wasn't going to blog about this, but decided I should record it for history. A month or so ago I was named the Irmo Elementary volunteer of the year. On Tuesday, at a special breakfast, it was announced that I had been selected as the outstanding elementary school volunteer for the district. What a nice honor! (School Board Member Robert Gantt, me, School Board Member Michael Cates, Superintendent Stephen W. Hefner, and IES Principal Tina McCaskill)
Program and plaque.
They even put my name on the school marquees!
It makes me very self conscious, but it's pretty cool.

Does your phone allow you to take a picture when you are videoing? My phone is horrible at action shots, too but if I'm already taking a video and then I take a picture as I am videoing, it does better. Good.job on the video of the year! South Carolina looks so pretty. Can I come visit, lol.
*volunteer* of the year. Good grief.
You can visit anytime! South Carolina is my favorite place that we have lived. I wish we could find a job here because I'd love to stay here forever.
