Sally Sam

Tonight Leon's bother David came over to watch a movie with us. Whenever we have company Leon has to show off our garden which is now producing pumpkins. While they were out looking they found a little salamander. He was so cute! I think that last time I saw one of those was when my mom used to have them in her classroom in Shoshoni. We held him for awhile and then let him go. I named him Sam and sure do hope he sticks around for awhile! He may cure our desire to get a puppy.

YEAH!

Yeah! Leon completed and passed his GED this past Thursday. We are sooooo excited for him! He did really well on all of the tests (8 hours of testing) and even scored high enough to qualify for scholarships. This is a big feat for him and the teachers at the GED center can't believe he dropped out in 6th grade because he did so well.
After testing all day Thursday he went back Friday for more testing to see what college classes he could qualify for on his Compass. A lot of classes were already full but we finally found something we think will work.
We went out to the lake Saturday to celebrate this milestone as well as his b-day. His mom, nieces, friends Brian and Donny, and Donny's kids all came. We had lots of fun playing in the water and sand, broke open a pinata and came home with sunburns.
I'm so proud of my hunny and just can't stop smiling!
