Its a Family Thing!

That's right!  Joseph got Student of the Quarter!  He was so confident that he was going to get it for his class.  The day before the asssembly, he came home from school and told me that his teacher might be calling me to tell me that he was chosen for the award. I told him that she would have already told me and I went into damage control.  I told Jospeh all night that he was doing awesome in school and he was working so hard to do his best.  Later that night, he asked me if she had called yet.  No, Joseph not yet, but  Dad and Mom are so proud of all your hard work. He reassured me that she would call.  That night I was so restless, how would he react when he didn't get it?  The next morning at 7:30am...I get a phone call.  It was indeed his teacher and he did indeed was chosen for student of the quarter. 

He was grinning throughout the whole assembly....and all day long!

 Yay!  Joseph!

About two weeks before the assembly,I received an email from Riley's teacher!  He was her choice for Student of the Quarter for his class!  He was such a good brother.  He was so happy for Boyd last quarter and even told Joseph good job for getting his the day before.  He told me that he might get it next time or even next year.  Much to his surprise though....

Riley continues to amaze me!  I am so proud of him for doing such a good job and being so responsible.

McCoy was more interested in the fire alarm than the awards.
 It was a good week with a little glance  into the future and confident men they are becoming.  We love our boys!
