Okay so Anthony is in
FFA. For those of you who don't know what that is...Future Farmers of America. To be honest we thought that we would never attend an
FFA event until Reagan was old enough but we were wrong. Anthony loves it! Not only does he love it but he is doing very good in this class. We just attended a degree ceremony and he
received his
Greenhand degree and pin. He had to memorize and recite the
FFA 5 paragraph creed, pass off a ton of requirements in class and have a plan to raise a calf on his own. The
FFA is no small potatoes! This ceremony tonight made us realize that it is serious stuff. He can work towards National opportunities and he says that he likes it because he learns so much and it is all hands on. What we all love so much about Anthony is that he makes decisions based on what he wants to do. It does not matter to him if his friends do it or not he just likes the
opportunities to try out everything
You can never under estimate this kid. He is so
versatile and can do well at so many things that he never ceases to amaze us. He is doing great in school this year and we are very proud of him.
Lawrence Is So Proud!
I have to share this story. Last night Carson had a friends birthday party and Lawrence took care of everything and got him to the party. When I got home I asked Lawrence how it went. He started telling me about how proud of Carson he was. When they were getting the present together for his friend, Carson said he wanted to make a card all by himself so Lawrence let him do it. When Carson got done Lawrence read the card. He could not believe how nice it was. When I got home that is the first thing Lawrence told me about and he said some of the things that were on it and how proud he was of Carson for being so sweet. The only thing was that he wished he would have made a copy of it to show me. We sat and talked about how great our kid is and it was a shame I did not get to see the card. While we were talking I noticed a pile of papers on the table. In the pile was a birthday card Carson got from Grandma and Grandpa in July. I opened it and started reading it. I asked Lawrence if this is what Carson's super sweet card to his friend said. He looked at it and we both started laughing. When we finally were able to talk again after laughing so much the first thing I said was "you should know better than that his last name is Lavery!" When Carson came in I said "I heard you made a nice card for your friend." He then replied "yeah I copied it out of my card because I could never spell all of that right by myself!"
We are still laughing about this!
Lesson to us...1st-never think a Lavery can come up with all of that nice stuff by himself.
2nd even if he did he would not share it with anyone.
3rd if the spelling is correct he cheated!
