A few happenings....

Travor and Haley's school has a Valentine's party every year where the kids build their V-day mailboxes. Travor's planning started early. He wanted to make the Sears Tower. He sketched his idea back in December and built a really good small-scale model and then, with dad's help, they build the real deal. It was taller than 8 feet! He won the "most effort" award.



Haley decided to build our town's water tower since we got a new one this year and, in a small town, that is a big deal! She received the "most creative award." She did not want her picture taken :-{



Miss Hope received a tutu from Grandma Lehman (thanks mom!) and she loved it! She is striking her ballerina pose!

WOW! Those are some very creative V-card holders! Way to go, guys! :) Kels made one for school too. It was a dog's face, with it's tongue hanging out, and that's where you slid the cards in. She got 3rd :) This poor Mommy didn't take any pictures, like you did, though :(
