Memorial Day Weekend Gathering

Tried to get the MWCC gang together but many folks had plans.  Fortunatly the Parker crew was available and so we whipped up some traditional memorial day fare...chinese.  We were going to have a BBQ but the weather has been so unpredictable that we didn't want to take a chance.  Naturally, it was beautiful out and we could have had a great BBQ.  Oh well, we had some good food anyway.  Love my MWCC family.

Kailei's Tribute to Keara

 

Kailei's wrote and recited this story about Keara.  I cried.  Makes all the fighting seem trivial.   

My Sister Keara

by Kailei Davison

My big sister is ten. She shoots a lot of hoops. She does Irish dance.  She reads a lot and watches TV.  She has a lot of books.  She is very tall.  She is so smart - very smart! She is beautiful. She always does the nicest things. She says "I love you so much." That makes me feel happy.  She does a lot of braids and buns in my hair. She shows me how to do the computer.  I have know her all my life.

Kailei's 1st Grade Graduation Program

Keara's Skit

Part of the curriculum in 4th grade is Colorado history.  Keara has been researching about boomtowns and today her class put together a series of skits that showcased all that they have learned.  Keara was a casino owner in her skit and the group did a great job.

End of Year Chinese Celebration

Another Trip to the ER

Nobody in the Archer or Davison family has ever broken a bone.  Somehow I think Keara is making up for all of us.  Took a spill getting off the slide today and sure enough broke her arm.  Keara never cries so it is sometimes hard to tell with this tough cookie but she seems to know her body well so we took her to Children's where they xray'd her arm and put it in a splint.  We will visit the orthopedist tomorrow for a cast.  And just in time for field day this week.  Never a dull moment. 

Kailei-ism's

So Zeb was giving me a hug when Kailei walked in the kitchen and said, "Have I entered love land? Not around me people."

So Kailei has moved up to new level in piano. On our way home tonight she asked if we could go celebrate. I told her that sometimes the reward is in the satisfaction of having accomplished something. She replied with, "Um, yeah...I think my idea is better."
