Hailey the Artist...

Today a neighbor of mine stopped by to let me know that Hailey won a poster contest. The contest is for the National Association of Conservation Districts with the theme of "Water is Life". Hailey took 2nd place for Lincoln County and won 1st PLACE for the State of Nevada (K-1st), he let me know that her poster is now being sent to the national contest! The school had the kids enter the contest so I didn't get to see what she has drawn, but my neighbor told me that they will be having a dinner for her and the other winners and I will be able to see a picture of it there. She will also receive a money reward from the County and the State. We are so proud of her! She has always told me that she wants to be an artist when she grows up. She practices drawing and painting all the time at home. Hailey, I love you!

Hudson

Hudson's birthday was on a Sunday. Unfortunately, the whole family was sick with the stomach flu and Hudson had it the worst. He was sick for a week, throwing up all over the place... poor guy. Boy are we glad that is over with.

Hudson didn't know what to do with the candle. He just stared at it until finally we had to blow it out for him.
