February Fun

February means one thing in this house....Science Fairs! Some kids excel in sports, my kids excel in academics. It's just their thing. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying, they are little brainiacs.
Miss Kelsey went on to the district fair and was chosen to go on to regional, which is held at BYU the end of March. Way to go sis! Woot, woot.
Morgan and her friend, Taylor, had a group project and they did very well also. Their project was chosen to go on from district to regional also.
The elementary and high school regional science fairs are the same week, but different days. So that means we get to spend 4 days in a row at BYU with science fair. Yay us (said with sarcasm)! I am really proud of the girls working hard and putting effort into their work. I am a lucky mom.
Morgan went to her 9th grade school dance this past week. To quote her on FaceBook, "BEST. NIGHT. EVER! Love my friends (; ♥" I think she enjoyed herself.Morgan has always been such a high achiever and hard worker. She has recently decided to attend a charter high school, UCAS (Utah County Academy of Science), which is an early college high school, on the campus of Utah Valley University. She will be taking high school and college classes at the same time. She will graduate with an Associate's Degree from UVU one month prior to her high school graduation. This was a hard decision for both Morgan and parents. Morgan is making a major commitment since this will be hard work without much time to play. Joe and I are taking a leap of faith as we are NERVOUS to have our cute young daughter attending college classes with men 5-6 years older than her.
We had to register Morgan for UVU last week and it was an emotional thing. She will be taking her college placement tests the end of this month and it seems so strange and surreal. We sure love her but some days it seems like this "growing up business" is happening too fast.

Wow your kids are smarties!!!! And beautiful girls too!

Hema's cousin is in the UCAS program right now and loving it. It will be busy but totally worth it in the end!

Wow! That is crazy/exciting (and scary at the same time)! I didn't realize they even offered programs like that- but it's pretty cool to have an associates degree when you graduate from high school! Congrats to Morgan and Kelsey on the science fairs!

Wow that is crazy! I can see why it would be so hard for you guys, but how neat that she will be able to finish up so early with all the general classes.
