HOT! HOT! HOT!

Our house is too darn hot! The air conditioner broke at the most inconvient time of the year! For some reason, I can't seem to sleep downstairs and this house is so dang hot. I have two fans going in my room at all times. I'm not really looking for winter to be back, but could it just be a little cooler? Please?

More animals....

Besides Midnight, we've also added two new kittens to our home. Their names are Wicket and Monster. Wicket is a little girl kitty that looks the Wicket A. Warrick (the Ewok from Star Wars). She has been very cuddly and kind of keeps out of the way of the other two kittens. Unless she is feeling frisky and decides to attack her brother or gets attacked by Midnight. Monster is an orange kitty. He is a little bigger than his sister. Monster has been trying to tell all the other kitties whose boss. I'm pretty sure that Cuddles is going to have something to say about that, but right now he's pretty mellow with the other cats. On the other hand, we're beginning to wonder if Roxie will ever get used to the new cats.

Finally got pictures!!!

I finally convinced Deanna that I needed to take some pictures of her braces. So here they are:

Deanna's Last Day of 5th Grade

Today was Deanna's official last day of 5th grade. She got straight A's for the last trimester of the year. She had an awards assembly yesterday and got 4 awards. One was for being a memeber of CyberCorps, one was for getting in the 90th percentile on the Iowa, one was for getting in the 90th percentile in Math Olympiads, and the last one was the President's Award. In order to get the President's award she had to have scored in the 98th percentile on the Iowa, have an A- average, and a 4 on the end of year CRTs. We are so proud of her!

Brace Face

Deanna got braces yesterday. She's going to the same orthodonist that my sister, brother and I went to. She's been in lots of pain, but I think she'll be happy when the whole process is over.

I'm going to try to get some pictures, but she doesn't like me to take pictures so I guess we'll see...

Crazy over hard food!

I came home from schol today and got told that little Midnight had been stealing my dads lunch meat! My mom said through her laughs that I needed to go make him some of his speical food.
What we would normally do is mix some kitten hard food with water since he would not eat the just plain hard food. Not anymore!
When I put his normal food infront of him he ran away! We had a little bit of the suff we put water into spilled in the room, he went straight for it! From now on I think he's just going to have hard food!
I just put this picture in because it's cute!

School's almost out...

B'Elana on her first day

B'Elana's last day of Kindergarten is coming! I can't believe she's all done with school already. She's grown up so much since she started school last July. She can read and knows how to write her name, and gives us lots of pictures that she draws for us. She has really liked being in Mrs. Vegas's class. Next year she'll be in the magnet program for advanced readers. She's really excited to be a first grader. I'm proud of everything she's learned and who she's become.
