We have 7th and 5th graders in the house!

Tuesday was the last day of school...Neil is now a 5th grader and Jordan is officially a 7th grader. Jeff and I were commenting about how scary "Junior High School" sounds...not the actual school...but the words "JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL"





Here are some pictures of Jordan's promotion...





After a LONG conversation, I picked up a black shirt and yellow tie...he agreed to wear that....and not his current "dress up wear" his Ninja basketball polo shirt...grr...





Jordan with Ms. Jane..the school secretary





With Mrs Hart, his 6Th grade teacher





With Grandpa, Uncle Dean and Uncle Gary





With Aalum, Fahad and Ming Ho





Christina with her parents, Alesia and Peter





With Christina...they were in kindergarten together





Surprise! Ethan and his Mom were there...Ethan and Jordan went to pre-school together! They received tickets from a friend who was in Jordan's class!

Hello! It has been a while...

Ok, so once again I can make excuse after excuse...but the result is the same...I haven't posted in a LONG TIME...sorry...

The school year is coming to an end...so, life has been hectic...Jordan has his promotion on Tuesday, so last week was busy running off the invitations and programs. Luckily, some of the other Moms did the layout and approvals and all I had to do was the photocopying, collating and folding.

The big accomplishment was that I finished crocheting the leis for Jordan's class...mental note to self...star earlier for Neil's class...













Neil and I finished his teacher's year-end present...Remember that great deal on planters I came across a while back? Purple pansies --- purple and gold are Warwick school colors.













Finally, my little flower girl is getting married in August...she had a bridal shower today in Morgan Hill. I finished up one of her presents on Saturday...a family cookbook..with recipes that I copied from my Mother's recipe files. I found recipes from her grandmother, her aunts etc...funny how so many of the recipes called for deep frying!
