Happy Mother's Day!

Here's a poem for all the mother's us children have been blessed with. Thank you so much for always being there with a helping hand, a word of advice, or just a kiss and a hug. Even on the one day of the year that's yours, you still put us before yourself. You are the example, we follow, our role model. So even though there is only one mother's day a year, we want you to know that no matter what day it is, July 17 or May 10, we love you and you are the most special person in our life. We love you! Here's the poem:


"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.



Here's another:

Mommy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Mother's Day.


And another:

Our mother is the sweetest and
Most delicate of all.
She knows more of paradise
Than angels can recall.

She's not only beautiful
But passionately young,
Playful as a kid, yet wise
As one who has lived long.

Her love is like the rush of life,
A bubbling, laughing spring
That runs through all like liquid light
And makes the mountains sing.

And makes the meadows turn to flower
And trees to choicest fruit.
She is at once the field and bower
In which our hearts take root.

She is at once the sea and shore,
Our freedom and our past.
With her we launch our daring ships
Yet keep the things that last.

State Envirothon

Saturday was Our envirothon competition. I've explained envirothon before, so this was our state competition. The whole day it was about 100 degrees and we were outside the entire time. My team ended up winning 4th place out of like 54 teams and I won the highest score of all the teams in my subject. Gresyon's team did well as well, though I'm not sure what place they made....anyway here are some pics. Enjoy.
