For the last three years Bre has participated in the AVID program. Tonight they had an open house, the kids read poetry, did skits, a pay if forward promotion, a commercial they wrote, and so on and so on. I loved Bres poem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>I AM POEM</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am... an AVID student.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friends call me ...crazy..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep... my secrets to myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember...nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shout...only when I'm really mad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am...myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hear...the world go by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I taste...all the food I can eat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think...about school and my friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I whisper...in class.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am...loving this poem so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want...to succeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will...reach my goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can...try to multitask.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pretend...to be tough and strong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sing...with all the voices of the mountain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am...hilarious.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dream...of the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm afraid...of losing my friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say I'm sorry...all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love...those I'm close to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I declare for the world to hear... I will be successful, just watch me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am... Bre</div>

Bre had her first date! Bre and Arion went to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman Friday night. It was not a private date or a quiet date. I picked the kids up from the school dance and took them to the theater. There they were joined by myself, Alex, Mike, Matt, Arion's Mom and Dad and little Brother. I got great enjoyment when Arions Dad started taking pictures, I love it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well this Mom and her 3 little chicks survived another year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2013 was a big year for us. I started working outside of the home for the first time in 12 years. I have to admit I enjoy my job and conversing daily with ADULTS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mike, my oldest, is a Freshman in high school! He plays Trombone in the school Pepband and enjoys playing Basketball with the guys on Monday nights. If you haven't seen him lately you could be in for a shock. He is closing in on that 6 foot mark, and growing up to be a very nice young man.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bre is busy as always. She plays clarinet in the school band and sent in an audition tape for the All State Band! She played Volleyball again and was so happy when she learned to spike this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alex is Alex, there is no good way to describe this child. She is to darn smart for her own good. She loves school! and is in all the advanced programs they offer. She is also very creative and everything turns into an art project and a HUGE MESS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But our year was not all sunshine and roses. We lost two deeply loved pets. Bre's beloved Becky passed in Sept. Bre was there to hold her in her last few moments on earth. In Oct. Doober , my parents dog that we claimed as ours, passed also. I am so thankful to my parents for giving my kids the opportunity to grow up with a dog. They have so many good memories with both pets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life has not been just sad. The kids had a GREAT summer! We started our summer off with a big family vacation. The 9 of us traveled in 2 vans to Wisconsin. We had a blast!! Water parks everyday, ropes course, laser tag, pottery, Riplies, Top Secret, a haunted house, mirror maze, House on the Rock and many many more things. In addition to the vacation the kids each had the opportunity to go spend one on one time with Grandma and Papa B. They loved their time alone with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So our year has been a full one, with many ups and downs. I am so grateful for all the many blessing we received this year, and look forward to the new year.</div>

This cute girl received a Certificate Of Appreciation. It was for excellent behavior in the lunchroom, on the playground, and in the hallways. It is given by lunchroom and playground paras. On top of that she and a guest of her choice were able to sit at a special table reserved for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is such a good girl and I'm glad that the school is finding fun ways to reward good behavior. She is such a good kid and is often overlooked because of it.</div>

This is Alex's project from her enrichment class. She needed to think of a word that had a double meaning and she needed to show it in a way that we wouldn't normally think of it. She came up with the World Wide Web on her own. Alex originally wanted to paint a basketball to look like the world and paint a web on it. I wasn't willing to sacrifice a basketball, so she drew the world, the web, and glued a spider on it.</div>

I love this boy. When he leaves for the bus he stops in the yard and tells me "Love you Mom". On our crazy Wednesday mornings he usually sends me a text saying "Love you" , but this morning he left me a note. I rushed back from taking Bre to her early morning band activity so I could wish Mike good luck at tryouts for bball, and found this on the island.</div>
