World's Fair Audrey

In school Audrey was asked to research a country, and she chose France. After researching they had all the students bring their country's flag, which they had made in class and a food that was from her country. Audrey brought grapes and french bread for her food. After they set up their country display, then all the parents of the students went around, sampled the foods and learned about the country. And, at the very end the students sang to the parents!!

Then we went to California adventure and went on all the rides except the bugs life rides. We also went to the amazing, fireworks show in Disneyland on the second day!

The Story of the Valentine Rose

Audrey and Dad with Audrey's rose!

Every year my dad gives Audrey, my mom and I a rose. But this year when my dad came to give me my rose(at school) I was eating lunch and he could not find me. So he gave it to my advocate (Mr.Busch). On the way to the class room two girls saw him with the rose. And in a whispered voice behind my dad they said: "Hey that guy has a rose! Lets follow him and see who he gives it to". So, they kind of followed him and then when he came out of the classroom the two girls looked at him and said:"You gave it to Mr.Busch!", in astonishment! Later in advocacy Mr.Busch gave the rose to me with a expression of awkwardness-LOL! Which do you think is more awkward: Mr.Busch giving me a rose, or my dad giving Mr.Busch a rose?

Happy Valentines Day!

Fence is Going Down!

We decided to take down part of our fence, to kind of open it up and Bruce had a lot of fun with the hammer!
