She really likes going to school. Sometimes I think it is overwhelming everything that goes on in 1 day LOL!. Last week she had a really tough time with the timing. She wasn’t used to getting up so early and wow was she a bear at the end of the day but I think she may get all that worked out in a couple of weeks. She said she has already found a boy in her class that she wants to date when she gets older. LOL! Mommy of course was like, “well I think that is gonna be a long time from now”. She does really good in class, she is very smart and catches on to things fairly easy. Some of the other kids have to catch up to her and a couple others. Yay!! Just hope she doesn’t get bored. Well I guess we will see how it goes. Here is her one morning dressed and ready for school. She packs a lunch so she can have what she wants to eat I guess the school lunches don’t look appealing to her. Can’t say I blame her. At least she likes fruits and veggies and takes those for lunch.  Read more... (207 words, 1 image, estimated 50 secs reading time)

If you want some really good and juicy information when you trace your family history, you have to interview your relatives.Here are a few tips to prepare for a family interview:

1. Why it’s important to bring questions. Preparing a list of questions ahead of time will give you a better feel of what you’re going to get out of the interview. Write down a list of questions that you’d like to ask during the interview. However, don’t use these as the only part to your interview, because letting them lead the conversation will be more beneficial.

This is a picture of the kids playing in the snow. They threw snowballs and built a snowman. My grandaughter Torrie and her friend Danny standing by the snowman she calls Frosty. Of Course.  It was a little too cold out to go play in it when it first snowed but we were fortunate enough for it to warm up  a couple of days later.They had a really good time. AND I got some great pictures for scrapbooking.
