This somewhat goes hand-in-hand with our feature today, where we talk about our kids' sports and hobbies. What have your kids achieved? Maybe they're too young and the most they've achieved is having a head size that goes off the doctor's charts! If they're a little older, though, have they won anything? Maybe their team won a tournament or a playoffs. Maybe they won something in a science fair or even for Field Day at school. Brag about those awards here!

Both of my boys are too young to have won awards at school, however.. gabriel has achieved walking, feeding himself, several critical words to express his wants, and most importantly how to hug and kiss and snuggle with his mommy!  Joshua is only 3 months old and he has accomplished sleeping thru the night!  And he's also accomplished snuggling and smiling and laughing! 

Both girls won Baby Contests..nothing exciting, but great for My ego!

Otherwise, Savannah is really involved in Girl Scouts and has earned a lot of badges. 

Katelynn won a baby pagent and a trophy for playing t-ball.  She has also whon a few awards at school like the scripture award, teachers award and book it. 

Anthoyn is just now in school so no school awards yet.  He did win the cutest costume last year at the church costume party though.  He was a boxing kangaroo.  So CUTE!!!

Owen came in 18th place out of 220 in a cutest baby contest in our local paper.

Other than that that have all won Mommy and Daddy's hearts

My Ds is also too young to have awards and such, but he's so capabale of anything its amazing what they can do in life!  Last week at Daycare his teacher was proud to show how Brandon was drawing a very detailed picture and without direction or assistance, wrote his own name!!  So it wasn't in order but it was close.. hehe, so cute 

My eldest daughter has lettered 3 times so far on her high school Swim Team.  She has been to Regionals twice and is preparing to go again this next week.  She has also been on the State Championship team twice.  She is a great girl!

My eldest son has been elected twice for the Student Council, last year as the Historian.  He has also been in a few events for the Special Olympics.  I am always so proud of his achievements and how hard he works to attain them.

My youngest two children are currently on their Cross Country team at school.  They have participated in several meets so far, and while they may not be the fastest runners, they have never given up and have always finished the races. 

All of my kids have won the Student of the Month Awards through their schools for outstanding behaviour and academics.  They always try and do their very best!

Thru out School yrs Both my girls were OUTSTANDING TOP FUND RAISERS !!   They won  several  Savings Bonds for outselling  lol ... And they were both soloists and duets  for church school musicals   Sammi made homecoming court and reason it means much to me   because was so important to her .. Im PROUD of Both my daughters acheivements .. They have always been there to give to needy , they have stepped in and helped care for literally dying loved ones  doing bed pan duty pronto  no questions asked !! They were so young and yet they jumped right in  to help!!My KK was found reading to myboss in the ICU . While I was in Hi they visted and nurtered my last pt .  They have cared for stray dogs , and critters  KK even once brought me infant reat to tend  that escaped its families poisening ..  ...  My girls My eyes misting over at rememberances!!!  Cooking for and doing for their wounded military friend ... Caring for kids  w all their hearts tho usually hurts so when kids move on ..  Those are the biggest and best acheivements  I can sincerily say  mean most most to me .. That my girls achieved servitude  hearts .. sharing  and reaching out to better others lives .. Those LIFETIME achievements STAND OUT TO ME ..And show me I did something right . .

When my 2 oldest were like 3 & 5, they both won the local frog jumping contests in our towns local stir up days celebrations, both received trophies. They have won awards at school for Art. Last week my 9 year olds class won the Golden Sneaker award for the most laps walked during fitness day at school.

Rivers is still on the young side, but I think he has achieved a few things apart from the milestones you watch so closely at this age.  He has recently graduated from the parent / child swim lessons to the 3 / 4 yr. old class and at 2 1/2 he is the youngest, but the doesn't stop my fearless little boy. 

He also has learned the skill of deciding when to listen and when to strive for his independence and I say deciding seriously because by his speech and action you can tell 100% that he is making an actual decision to do as he wishes.  This means that I have to get very creative in giving him choices so that he chooses the task I desire him to do at the time.

Fun stuff!

My 13 year old has won several awards for her artisitic ability (drawing) and was placed in teh district art contest a couple of years ago by her art teacher (it was very exciting)

She also has several awards for cheerleading (she doesn't so it anymore though)

She has also been awarded at school for grades and attendance in the past as well

other than the normal stuff, simon graduated physical theraphy after 6 months (didnt get a cert like she said but i guess she forgot), and graduated from his doc band after 11 weeks of wearing it ( the cert is framed hanging on his bedroom wall hehe).

Brianna can sing her ABC's!  reconizes most letters and some colors!  Starting pre school in November, after she turns 3!

Jacob got a bobble head baseball trophy for baseball & Ty student of the month so far!! Jenna & Tia are too little.
