Herolds' Hangout
Thoughts, Reminders, and Reasons to Brag...

Ashley Visits!

Ashley made her usual surprise, but always welcomed visit today form Yuma. Skyler laughed when she and her mom tried to avoid the camera.

First Tumbling Lesson and a Party

Skyler had his first gymnastics/tumbling lesson today at Desert Tumbling, a newer place for kids to get that energy out! The owners, Paul and Wendy, are very nice and have a great atmosphere for teaching basic tumbling skills. Skyler loved his first lesson and I liked that it was FREE! This is a good weekly class, in addition to his swimming lessons at Hubbard.

After the long, but super lesson, we took Skyler to Robin's house for a staff party. Darci had fun putting Skyler head-first into the beanbag game. He was wiped out and fell asleep on the way home.

Train Park Fun

We met my parents at the McCormick-Stillman Ranch Railroad Park again. It was a nice, sunny afternoon. It is a very fun park and has lots of entertainment!

Email to Miss Sara

Last night, Skyler and I were talking about school and he cried and said "I want to be four years tall and not five years tall, so I can be in Miss Sara's class again."
 
This morning, he asked "Can I visit Miss Sara's class next year?".
 
That is a testament of your impact!
 
Thanks again for two great years,

Jeff


Her reply:

Thank you for sharing that with me. I have tears in my eyes. You never know for sure how you impact a family or a child. So, Thank you.

Sara

Mr. Smith Retires

Greg Smith, fellow teacher and friend, finally retired from Hillcrest Middle School. This is footage taken from his party at the end of the school year in May 2010.

Skyler 365

I took a photo of Skyler every day during his 4th year, starting on his birthday on May 18th, 2004 to May 17th, 2010. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. This is a work-in-progress...



Skyler has been crossing off the days until his birthday. He likes learning about time and calendars. I also took Skyler to Toys R Us on his birthday to buy Army Man Legos!
