My Son's Spelling Bee

My Son placed 8th out of 32 kids at his schools spelling bee.  He was doing so well.  He made it to the 3rd round.  The word he missed was "trouble".  He spelled it trbouble.  We believe he quickly developed a little too much confidence since he correctly spelled his first few words.  We're proud of him anyway.  Plus, this was his first spelling bee.  He'll get 'em  next time.

 

My Daughter won her science fair (School of Math & Science)

I am one proud father.  My oldest daughter won her Science Fair.  Her project was on Helium vs Air.  She used balloons as an example to prove her theory.  She told me she placed third.  How could I have believed her.  That was the oldest trick in the book.  I taught her that trick.  I told her it was okay...I still believed in her and she won first place in my book.  She then started laughing and screamed "I won First Place!"  I hollered!!!  I was so excited.  She and her mother worked on the project.  I'm proud of them both.

Now we'll have to see if her project is chosen to represent the school in the County competition.  There were a lot of pretty cool projects there.  Her project was original!

Daddy loves you sweetie.  Keep up the EXCELLENT work!

Charlsie's able to ride now

If you know my daughter then you know that her favorite animal has and always will be a horse.  Her mom and I surprised her with a visit to a friends stables to visit his beautiful Tennessee Walkers.  He's going to teach her to ride.

Some months ago my daughter had surgery on her spine.  She has since been cleared by her Dr. and is ready to start slow riding horses.

Ryan Guinever Godwin

Kenny & Jennifer...congratulations!!!!  She is beautiful!!!!  Little Ryan is finally here.  She is so beautiful.  I'm still trying to figure out who she looks more like. I'm waiting for you guys to get her home so I can take more photos of her.  I have some cool ideas in mind so chop chop!!!

I have more pictures  but Jennifer wanted some up now so her mother could see.

We're proud of you Jenn...see you soon.

Her nickname from me will be Popeye.

Now I really love this shot.  I tried to get her to smile the whole while I was there.

My Daughters won 1st and 3rd Place

My wife had our kids to enter a contest on safety. My oldest daughter won first place and my youngest daughter won 3rd place. I can't take the credit for these magnificent shots. My lovely wife took these. My son just sat there with his lip poked out. He put together something...the problem was no one could figure it out. He didn't know anything about the prizes. Maybe things would've been different for him.

Shelby, my 4yr. old drew the second photo. She has a wonderful imagination. She draws pictures for me every night. She has her daddy's creativity. Charlsie, my 13yr. old did the top one. She is also very creative...she loves to take pictures. I'll start posting some of her work. Timothy, my 7yr. old loves that doggone Xbox and his Wii. I have no idea what his interest are. He's all over the place.

No more PC...I'm a Mac Man now!!

Ok...I now can officially call myself an Apple Man!!  No no no...not apple head...an Apple Man!!! I have the iPhone 3G 16gig (White) and the new Macbook Pro Notebook.  I'm still learning how to use it but that's where my good friend Morgan comes in.  She's had hers longer than I have so she'll be showing me a few things I'm sure...right Morgan?

(Ebony & Ivory) Shelby & Scarlett

My daughter asked me to chaperone her field trip to the Riverview Plaza Hotel.  Her class had to perform a couple of Christmas songs in front of a large group of people.  I quickly made some cancellations and said "I'm there sweetie"!  They grow up quick.  I try to take advantage of these opportunities.  Soon she'll be saying "I don't want you to go Dad"!

I also had the pleasure of meeting, for the first time, Scarlett.  Scarlett is a unique individual.  She loves attention.  I mean lots of attention!!  Well, Shelby didn't take to kindly to that.  She wasn't use to other girls hugging and holding hands with her father.  I had to share the attention yet show Shelby she will always be Daddy's little girl.

We had a wonderful time.  Scarlett and Shelby were two little hoots.  They acted as though they have been friends for years and they just met this school term.  

Here are a few photos.
