R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Taylor loves ice cream... but only in pretty cones.

Morgan won the respect award at her school on Monday. It is a weekly award given to the student that shows the most respect to their teachers and peers. She is very proud. I am not sure what to say about the picture - I have no idea what kind of face she is trying out. She is very tired... she helped me clean the new house for 3 hours tonight.

8 & 11

Just a little update.........

Clint only has 8 more days to go in his LAST MASTERS CLASS!! Yeah, then he just has to compile some of his work into a portfolio and then WHAMMO.... he is done FOREVER!

Morgan wanted me to also mention that we only have 11 days until we are officially home-owners. We have a lot of packing still to do.

From The Montana Standard...

Championship Caliber

Deer Lodge had reason to cheer Saturday evening as 135-pound sophomore Bobby Ray advanced to the championship round of the Montana All-ClassState Wrestling tourney Saturday at MetraPark Arena in Billings. Though Ray finished as the runner-up to three-time state champion Hunter Azure of Poplar, he was still justifiably proud of his achievement, and said he looks forward to returning next season.

Wearing his good-luck bright pink argyle socks, Ray went intothe Class B-C 135-pound title match never having heard of Azure, but he came away from the technical-fall loss with a new understanding."The kid knows what he's indicating that he plans to return.

RUNNER-UP

Well Bobby didn't win the state championship, but he came in 2nd! Go PINK SOCK BOY!! (That's what Morgan calls him because he wears pink toe socks to wrestle in.) He lost Technical Fall 18-2. His opponent is a Senior from Poplar and he is extremely fast, good thing he graduates this year:)

Keep Your Fingers Crossed

Clint still has one wrestler alive in the state tournament in Billings. Bobby Ray has reached the championships at 135 pounds. Please keep your fingers crossed :)

P.S. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Going to State Wrestling...

From this morning's Montana Standard:

Deer Lodge will take only four wrestlers to the state tourney, but they're a quality bunch, according to coach Clint Stevenson.Freshman 105-pound Chandler Yount was third, freshman 119-pound Dustin Morigeau took fourth, sophomore 135-pound Bobby Ray was second, and Jamin Bonato was third at 215 in his senior year."We're expecting to do well with what we've got," Stevenson said. "Dustin and Chandler are only freshmen, so we're happy to have them coming too."

** This is pretty exciting since half our team is either a Freshman or a Sophmores. We have had a lot of injuries and they all have been very sick the last few weeks. Only one more LONG week of wrestling to go for this year!!

And the Countdown Begins.....

We only have 30 more days before we move into our new house! Morgan is already on the lookout for abondoned boxes. She can't wait to start packing.

Here are a few pictures for the realtor's website. I think it is a cute little house.
