Mayoral run

Fernfield Mayor Speech

I will always try my hardest but I will need evrybudy to cotribute to keep this community strong.  We need to do more services like packing food and building houses for the homeless.  Also we should have more jobs and houses so that more peple can join our community.  We should have more programs for kids like soccer, hockey, football, basketball and baseball.  We should have a new high school sports feild and it should be open for kids to practice in on weekends  Our citzens should always make good choices and do the right thing.  We should have good leaders and school with good teachers to teach kids things to help them succed.  Everybody is here for a reason.  Any one with me?
Ohhhh...and he WON!

Counting down to birthday...
Birthday.  She started the day with Shawn's chocolate chip pancakes and opening a present. 
Then she headed to preschool and got her beloved birthday crown.
While brainstorming party ideas Celia and I were looking at Pinterest.  She locked eyes on this cake and was obsessed with having it.  I talked to the pasty chef at Whole Foods and then emailed him the inspiration cake which was a wedding cake.  He knocked it out of the park and we added the Sofia the First tiara per Celia's request.   
Princess party with friends.  
Grandpa Dennis, Grandma Jane and Hallie came to visit and keep the celebrations going.  Grandma and the girls made the brownies.

Budding interest

Micah has discovered Shawn's old uniforms and is very interested.  As I'm writing this nearly a year later, I can only laugh when I say "interested" as beyond passionate is more the tone.

Normal

Regular days at the Wagoners. 

BBall Noah

Second grade basketball season came to an end.  This team has a great group of boys and it was fun to watch Noah play on Saturday mornings.
 
 

Imagination Fair 2015

Noah and Micah were partners for this year's science fair.  Shawn and I were pleased: teamwork, brotherly love and one project.  Ahh yes!

What makes a sled go faster?
First they brainstormed what could be applied to the bottom of the sled to increase its speed/reduce friction.

They decided to test the following:
soap
wax
cooking oil

They hypothesized that oil would make the sled go the fastest.

One blustery day we all headed to the nearby sledding hill.  Shawn stayed at the top of the hill to aid in keeping things as scientific as possible and I was at the bottom with the stopwatch and a clipboard to record all the times.  Each boy went down on the plain sled.  Then they applied soap to the bottom and went down.  Cleaned the sled, applied cooking oil, then wax.

Applying wax to the bottom of the sled was the clear winner.

Finally they made their presentation board for the fair and used a skateboard ramp to simulate a sledding hill and plastic lids with weights for sleds so visitors could test the outcomes at the fair.  Noah did the majority of presenting at the fair and did a really nice job.  They both received awards for overall presentation and explanation.  We are proud of our little scientists.
