Every Monday night we have a tradition with the Dowling boys. They spend the night! The tradition includes: Coffee (pm and then am!), usually icecream...tonight we had Coke Floats, back rubs, homework... ....and of course, lots of LAUGHING! We love having the Bones over for tradish :)
























The littlest Bone, Sean, wasn't able to come tonight but he is a part of the tradition too! We missed you Bull...can't wait til next week!

(In the first picture the boys are talking with Caleb...we wish you were here for tradish Keek! We miss you)

A Night at the Beach

Last night Mel and I went with a bunch of friends to hang out at the beach. The weather was so perfect! We played football, drew in the sand, put our feet in the numbing water, had races, and then went to McDonald's.











On your mark....get set....GO!!!!!!!

"YES We Can!"

This week the History 4 class at our Home School Enrichment Program held a mock election. Three students ran for Student Body President. On Tuesday and today, during lunch hour, the candidates gave speeches. They explained their agreements and disagreements with the HSEP policies regarding whether or not all students, even A students, should take midterm and final exams; and issues pertaining to leaving the premises. After each set of speeches all students voted.

The candidates were:

Beau with Campaign Manager Laura, and Stephanie

Josiah with Campaign Manager Chelsea, and Aaron

And Jimmy with Mikey and Clara

Bribes :)

Jord and Josh

The Lunch Room

Chelsea and Melissa...she came in on her lunch break

Everyone worked so hard campaigning through the week! The candidates also did very well on their speeches. Congratulations to Josiah for pulling out the win!

Oh and the song, "Last Dance" on the play list...My mom told me yesterday that before she was married, whenever that song came on at the end of the night, she would wait for my dad to come and ask her to dance. He did!
