February Snapshot, Part 3

On February 21st Trey presented his CPA project on Bonsai Care.  He received 1st place in the Flowers, Shrubs, and Lawns category and will proceed to DPA in a few weeks.
The last Saturday in February I was finally free to enjoy a girls day in Savannah.  We usually hit Jacksonville for our girls days but I have wanted to try the Melting Pot forever so we decided to change it up a bit.  Boy was it worth it!!!  Everything was absolutely delicious and I can not wait to go back...especially now that I know that they have a restaurant in Jacksonville!
On February 27th, Trey competed in the Milk Make contest at our 4H office.  His healthy fruit smoothie earned him 3rd place overall and  1st place in technique and presentation.  He now has a new found love for smoothies and makes them for breakfast several times a week.
One of the things that Jesse had to do to earn his Wolf Patch in Cub Scouts is visit a historical landmark in our community and talk about it's importance.  We visited the Veterans' Memorial and found Pa Hut & Papa Tyre's names under the World War II section.  We drive past the memorial all the time but I had never taken the time to stop and really look at it.  I'm so glad that we did.  I'm so proud of all our family who have and who are currently serving our country in the military and I loved passing on some of the stories that I've heard all my life to my boys.
One of my favoritest things about this month is that we are finally getting siding put on the house!!!  We've lived here for over a year without siding and I couldn't be more excited that it's finally getting done!!!  They have been working on it every weekend and it won't be long until it's done.  Then it will be time for me to get busy tiling the front porch and painting the old wrought iron furniture that's going up there.  The furniture was a Christmas (we think) present to my grandparents from my great grandparents around 40-50 years ago!  It has been in my grandparents' yard for as long as I can remember and I can't wait to give it a fresh coat of paint and get it on the porch!!!  I can see it all done in my mind and I can't wait till my vision is a reality.
