They Did It!

Well, both of the girls beat the 25 min goal on quoting today. Delaney's time was 21 min and 12 seconds and Darilyn's was 21 min 7 seconds. Delaney is the overall faster quoter, but Darilyn has the overall faster recall time. Anyway, both did a great job and both decided to have thier Daddy buy them new tennis shoes rather get the money. A good choice as the tennis shoes will cost Kevin more money than the cash! So this afternoon Kim's going to watch Dallas and Denae for a little while and I will help the girls study one time words and practice interupting questions. Then tomorrow its off to Bakersfield! We won't quiz until Saturday, but we are having a End of the Year Pizza Bash at John's Incredible Pizza on Friday night, so that will be lots of fun!

My husband told me that years ago when people quizzed against the Booker boys people prayed for 2nd place because 1st wasn't even possible. I have a feeling someday people will be saying the same thing about the Reighard kids!

WOW!!! GO REIGHARD KIDS!!!! But I have to give honor where its due. Go Reighard parents!!! Kudos to you and Kevin for taking it upon yourselves to study and spend such QUALITY time with your children for instilling in them a love for God's word. Its so much better when the family is in it together... or at least the parents are just as enthused about it as the kids are. Way to go Reighard family!! Love you all.

Thanks Von de Leigh. It's good to hear from you. Your little boy is growing up so quickly; it won't be long before he's learing Memory Verses with the 'big kids'!
