Two weeks ago Alec won the Science Fair at his school. He went on the Charter School Science Fair down at UVU. He won again. He now goes to the region fair down at BYU.
Who knew changing manure into methane gas in our garage would get him extra credit in science class!
This is the second year in a row he has made it to BYU. Last year he actually won 1st place at BYU and was nominated to go Washington DC with his 'DNA DETECTIVE' project. He unfortunately did not win the trip, but we were so proud of him. We appreciate all the extra time he puts into his school work. He got his second 4.0 last quarter. Made the Principal's list and also received student of the month in February. *Does not take after his parents!* You can find him after school in Math Lab making sure to bring up every B to an A. We don't have to tell him to go, he makes sure he does it on his own. He will also do ANY extra credit his teachers give him. As I was complaining to a friend today about how his attitude is changing slightly to that of a teenager, she quickly reminded me how lucky I am for the great kid we have. She is 100% right. He's our rock.
I am a forgetful person and I left my camera at home. I took a picture with my phone and have no idea how to get that picture from there to here...so until his teacher e-mails me hers, these will have to do.
This may or may not have manure inside, and Jeremy may or may not have had to mix it every few days!
Methane!

A phone call from the husband...a new job starting Monday...we are in love with Mountain America!
All I can say right now is how thankful I am, and I hope the sunshine sticks around for a while.

Good for you for counting your blessings! Even better that you can somehow count "manure" among them :-)
Wow, Robyn! That's awesome! Sounds like Alec has an incredible future before him. Though I seem to remember his parents weren't exactly slouches in school.
Thanks for the reminder to count our blessings, and good for you to do so!
We were all talking last night about our oldest who can do no wrong. I don't know if that's the oldest child thing or what. They are just easier children. Alec is following the mold we were talking about. Maybe there is something to it. We also were excited for you and Jer. He is so lucky to find a job right now. Awesome! Talk about blessings. I hope the sun shines for awhile too! Missed ya.
