Harmann....... well almost

Ok so I'm sure you got my earlier post about my cake mix Hermann. Well we are starting over thanks to my brand new bag of flour that had weevels in it. I was very sad but our new Hermann will arrive tomorrow. If it works out this time I am hoping to bring his offspring to the states so you can all have a taste.

Wish me luck.

Parker has been working so hard this year in school and we are so very proud of all the progress he has made. At the last parent teacher conf. his teacher said he had'nt been doing very well on his spelling test and she wanted to alter them and make them easier so he could get higher scores. To me that seemed like we wouldnt be challenging him and it wouldnt help him in the long run. So I asked his teacher to please let us try again. So we have been working our tails off practicing his spelling words. I am so proud of my little guy I wanted you all to know........... I found out today that Parker got a 100% 2 weeks in a row!!!!!!

Parker is now excited to get his next set of words because he knows he can pull a 100% everytime.

Field Day

Yeah for field day. No school work, just a fun day OUTSIDE! They turn fun music on

all the teachers get really into it. Sarriah and Parker were both outside at the same time so I had to rotate so I spent equal time with each of them.

It was a warm, cloudy day. We only had a few spinkles of rain.

Hermann

Ok so we were just given our first baby Hermann. My friend Tiffanie delivered him to us today. I am very excited to start the 6 day journey which will result in my Hermann having 2 babies of his own.

This is Hermann day 1. I will give another update on day 3 when we feed him.

So..... as you can see, Hermann is a cake mix. He will grow over the next 6 days then we will give his babies away to good friends and our little Hermann will be baked.

Its a German thing and I am so excited about doing it.

Lets just hope I dont do it wrong.

So it's been awhile.........

So, it's been awhile since I have posted anything and I have been questioned as to why...... Well it has been a busy month for us over here.

My friend Nadine and I threw a baby shower for our great friend Kim.

We have been doing alot with the scouts. I am the new Den Leader. YIPPY!!!!! This pic was taken on our nature scavanger hunt.

Look how big the dandy lions get on the river bank.

We spent alot of time together. This was our picninc on the Rhine. We took the dogs and had a blast.

I went to AWAG again this year. SOOOOOOO much fun. It was at the Edelweiss lodge and resort again this year. Here is the view from my room.

This is my favorite AWAG class. Taste the exotic. They bring a whole bunch of weird fruits and they teach you what they are and how to use them. I took a whole mess of classes this week but this was a great one.

These are 2 of the wonderful ladies I met at AWAG.

We went for a German car show. Pretty cool!
