Happiness

Happiness is being a mom.  I love watching my kids learn, grow, succeed, and become better human beings.  We've had some exciting things happen for us the last few days.  Saturday Kadence had her last in house meet of the season.  She took first in her poses and second on her floor routine and finally got her back hand spring with no help!  She has been working on it for 8 months, so it was a huge accomplishment and we are super excited for her.

Last week Kinlee learned how to ride her bike with no training wheels!!!  Kinlee and Matthew also had their preschool programs.  I can't believe Kinlee is going to Kindergarten.  The programs were so cute and I love the scrapbooks the preschool teachers made us.  Kinlee has grown so much this year and knows all her letters and their sounds, I think she is ready for Kindergarten but she doesn't think it's fair that Matthew will get to see the preschool teachers and she won't.  Speaking of Matthew he has taken off with his speech.  The speech program at our school is fabulous and he is talking up a storm.  We are going to keep working on his speech and ABC Mouse through the summer and I think he'll be caught up by the time he starts kindergarten.

As I said in my last post, Connor wanted to run for Student Council President at Wellington Elementary, today he read his speech and elections took place.  I'm super excited to say he won!!  All the kids running did a great job and put in a ton of effort.  He is beyond excited and really wants to make some positive things happen at the school next year.  Below is his speech:

Knock, Knock (who’s there) Connor (Connor who) Connors your new president. Things I want to try to provide I want to try to provide a mustache day, one day I think we should have a two hour recess, I can provide the swat team to come to our school, I know bullying is an issue in our school and I would like to get more kids involved in trying to prevent bullying.  I want to make sure all the kids at our school have fun and get a good education in a positive environment. What I bring to the school is leadership by example, a good fun attitude, and hard work. 

My plan for the two hour recess is to have a fun time and try to provide fun actives. This would be a good time to get a break and have fun with your friends, but you have to follow rules and play respectful and let anybody join the game you’re playing. This may be a fun thing for everybody. This is for all grades kindergarten through fifth grade. 

Have you ever wanted to meet the swat team? I can make that happen!  

I mustache you a question. Do you like mustaches? You better, because if I win I’m going try to do a mustache day. This day is where you can wear mustaches to school including shirts you will be able to wear a mustache shirt to school.  

The biggest issue in school is bullying, I want more kids to help prevent bullying.  Bullying is bad. You do not have to like someone, but you still need to show them respect .This is the bad side of school I want to put up posters so we can have a lot less bullying and have fun. 

Vote for me, Connor Bradley for a two hour recess and a mustache day to prevent bullying. 

Protect this house I will! 

Vote Connor Bradley for president
