Rugby is 10!!!

Rugby turned 10 on November 7th. We had her usual birthday party by giving her a cheeseburger from McDonalds. We actually gave her two this year. Turning 10 is quite a big feat! :) We got her a few toys, a new collar and lots of dog treats. Rugby is turning gray and slowing down a bit, but she is still the best dog in the world. We love you Rugby!!

3rd Grade Project

Rylie had her first really BIG project due at school last week. BIG for 3rd grade in my opinion. They had to learn about the community. We had to visit City Hall, the Fire Department, the Police Station, the Public Library, The Elementary School and the Parks and Recreation Building. We had to get a picture of her standing in front of each building and she had to visit with two employees in each of the buildings. She had to learn their names and their job titles. Then, put it all on a poster board, labeled with full names, job titles and full addresses. She then had to present it in front of her class at school. I was so glad to have this over with. Took way to much time. Rylie of course loved every minute of it and loved telling about it at school. I remember now why I didn't like school - the homework. I was not a good student. For some reason I was blessed with two kids that love school and don't mind doing homework and a smarty pants for a husband. I feel like an outcast.
