David Cox Elementary Field Day

Even though today was an overcast day, everyone had a great time at Field Day at David Cox Elementary School.

There was one event where you dunked a frisbee in a bucket of water and walked to another bucket to dump the water in. Then the kids threw the frisbee to the next person in line.

The next event was musical water buckets. When the music stopped the kids sat in a bucket filled with water. If you didn't get a bucket, then you were out.

Then they had to carry a golf ball on a spoon with one hand, go around a cone, and then pass it to the next person in line.

There was a sack race and then a running race. After that they had their faces painted.

Here is a link to all of the photos:

How low Am I?



Oh, this brings back so many memories of tricks played on my friends. I'm feeling a bit guilty it was my own son that I tried this on, but my wife and I never laughed so hard. Of coarse my son laughed too. We taught him well. If you can't laugh at yourself, you can you laugh at?

I’m not sure when I first learned it, but I sure do know when I first perfected it. It was in high school with my good old buddies! The best was my friend Jason Brown.

Mother's Day



What a fabulous Mother's Day! David brought home Starbucks coffee and Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. There were flowers and plants every where. We went to Cheddars for lunch and had a fabulous hot fudge cake for dessert. Yum!!!

It is 5:00 p.m. now and we are under a tornado watch. There is a warning just to the West of us. Let's hope the severe weather skips us.

Muffins For Mom


Today was Muffins For Mom day at Austin's school. Mom took Austin to school and they enjoyed muffins and juice together. Austin gave mom a beautiful Mother's Day book filled with art work that Austin created. They were pictures of all the things that mom does for him. It is beautiful! Thank you Austin. And, thank you Mrs. Helms and Mrs. Pierce for the muffins and juice.
