Guitar

Trevin has the opportunity to take Guitar as one of his classes this year and I am surprised by how much he has enjoyed it. Their first concert was combined with choir, dance, orchestra and band. Their teacher put together a whole show based on "The Phantom of the Opera". I was amazed by how quickly all these kids were able to learn. Trevin is really enjoying it and has asked for a nice guitar for Christmas this year.

Field Trip

I was able to tag along on a field trip with Trevin and his CTE class. They went to Thanksgiving Point and had the chance to experience many different career fields. My favorite part was when they learned how to extract DNA from a strawberry. It was fun to watch them all work together as a team to make sure they got it exactly right and at the end we were treated with a Strawberry smoothie. It was an exhausting but fun afternoon.

Spanish Luncheon

At the end of every quarter Trevin's Spanish teacher holds a luncheon for all those kids who had zero missing assignments for the quarter. There were 27 students who earned this and only 6 of them were boys. I am so proud of Trevin's hard work. The lunch was catered and the kids feasted on Chicken pasta, salad and donuts. Hard work does pay off.

Happy Birthday Trevin!

Today we officially enter the teenage years in our home. Trevin turns 13. Instead of a big birthday party he wanted everyone to go out to dinner. He chose Iggy's, of course. There is nothing better than football and food. I can't believe how time has flown. Where did all those years go? I swear that just yesterday we were these young, scared parents bringing their first baby home from the hospital wondering what we were going to do now. I am so proud of the young man he is turning into and can't wait to see what the future holds. Happy Birthday Trevin!
