Reflections 2010

This year Jackson participated in the Reflections contest at his school. The theme was "Together We Can..." So being the Star Wars fan that he is, he built a Lego ship of Anakin and R2. It was "Together Anakin and R2-D2 will save the universe from General Grievous!" Wednesday night was when they announced the winners in each category in three age groups. Jackson got the Award of Merit (2nd place) for his ship in the 3D art category for the Primary age group! He was so excited! He got a trophy with his name on it. (We're calling it the Piston Cup for you "Cars" fans out there.) Now his ship moves on the next level. Congrats buddy!

*** For those of you who are doing the challenge you should be done reading around page 45 tonight. That's 9 pages a night. (Math genius!!)
Keep going, you're doing great!***

We're alive....and a challenge

Hello!
We're alive...mostly. I promise I'll get pictures and other sundries up eventually.

So for the challenge...
I've heard that if you ever have a goal, that you should tell other people about it so they can ask you about it and you can feel ever so slightly accountable to those you have told.

Here's my goal: I want to read the Book of Mormon all the way through by the end of the year. Starting today. That's only 8-9 pages a day. Totally doable I think.

You're all welcome to join in if you'd like. Just start where you are and read back through to that same place if you don't want to start back at 1 Nephi. It will be great!!

Even if you don't join in with me, ask me how I'm doing when you see me. And if you happen to have a treat with you, that would be awesome too.")
