It's a contest done through the radio station Planet 94.1 This is the letter from the parent that nominated him:<br />
<br />
Mr. Wilkes is amazing the the kids. This is the first year that my son is excited to go to school. He struggled in the past few years. He has lots of energy and would constantly get in trouble for having a wandering imagination. Not this year! Mr. Wilkes used his energy as a teaching method. For example, they were studying the middle ages, he took the kids outside and worked like the middle ages. My son came home so muddy, but with the biggest smile on his face, telling me all about the middle ages and the work and the feast that they used to have (Mr. Wilkes brought in a feast for the kids too.) it is so heart warming to see this kid so exited to learn. Grades? Well, report cards just came out. He went from a straight C level report to all A's except for one B and on C. To me and my kid...mr. Wilkes at GWA is THE BEST TEACHER ON THE PLANET!<br />
<br />
<br />
Our other big accomplishment is....ASHLEY EARNED HER MEDALLION! I'm so proud of her for this. She worked so hard. I didn't get a good picture of her face in with the medallion so...<br />

I grew up spending almost every Thanksgiving in Wickenburg so I love that the kids get the same experience. There is very little use of electronics since Grandma and Grandpa Wilkes live where there's not great access to internet so the kids play with the dogs, the dirt, and the cousins. They had so much fun! <br />

I've been very sick since November and I think the emotional aspect of my illness was so much more debilitating (to blogging anyway) than the physical aspect. I didn't even post anything about Christmas, or Easter, or major events! So now to dig through the pictures and find what I actually documented.<br />
<br />
Last month I had my adrenal glands removed so hopefully this will help me to recover from that awful monster Cushing's Disease and I can be a better wife, mother, and person. <br />
<br />
In the midst of decorating for Christmas Cole enjoyed making this giant hamburger. Cole is elusive so I have to add any picture I can get of him.<br />

It was like nothing I've ever seen. Very much like the picture I posted. I've heard all the horror stories of people being trampled and getting in physical fights but our experience was nothing like that. When Ashley and I walked in the store we both turned to each other and smiled. We both love unusual situations and crowds of people. It was so much fun. There was a great mix of people in all ethnicities & colors. Everyone was so kind to each other. Everywhere you went you could hear I'm sorry, excuse me, what are you looking for, let me help. One woman noticed Ashley and I were looking for something in particular and offered the last one she had to us saying she didn't need it that much. Another couple saw I was struggling to hold stuff and offered me their cart. I don't really have the money to go out shopping again today but if I weren't so sick today I would go out there just to be with the people. I love St. George and I REALLY love people.<div><img src="http://www.electronichouse.com/images/uploads/BlackFriday2010.jpg" /></div>Chardellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01937437536309634185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23211056445142563.post-42728363836473269132011-10-14T14:13:00.003-06:002011-10-14T14:23:08.661-06:00Evil Thunderbirds<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8fvSQtcaBW0/TpiaJLWL7II/AAAAAAAABL4/TF-iNpbzvGU/s1600/012.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8fvSQtcaBW0/TpiaJLWL7II/AAAAAAAABL4/TF-iNpbzvGU/s400/012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663446013873745026" /></a><br />It's been a long time since I've blogged about one of Noah's hilarious adventures. I feel bad I've missed so many. Today he was heading out the door and had his hands behind his back. When I looked up at him he smiled and said "What? I got nothin'" Then he proceeded to show me his left hand while keeping his right behind his back. Then he showed me the right hand with the left behind his back. This kid is getting sneakier by the minute. So I walked behind him and spotted a butter knife. When I took it from him I asked "What were you going to do with this?" He said "I need it in case the evil Thunderbird comes then I'll slice off it's head" So I gave the knife back, took a picture, took the knife back again and promised I would watch for Thunderbirds for him and he didn't need a knife.Chardellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01937437536309634185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23211056445142563.post-49768273162806418702011-08-15T08:04:00.003-06:002011-08-15T08:12:33.932-06:00First Day of School!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mckuD7VVlJA/Tkko-PjT6eI/AAAAAAAABLk/hP0mJNv1klA/s1600/037.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mckuD7VVlJA/Tkko-PjT6eI/AAAAAAAABLk/hP0mJNv1klA/s400/037.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641085058049894882" /></a>
<br />The kids went back to school today. Sage looks like she's in a JCPenney ad. Noah is still sleeping(Why didn't he sleep this late during the summer?). The house is quiet with just Rob and I shuffling around and the dog sniffing at the breakfast dishes hoping we'll leave them on the table and leave the room so he can jump on the table and eat some. I miss the kids already! We're in a carpool where I only drive once a week but I love to be the one to drop them off and pick them up. If I could afford to drive everyday I would but as it is they're even going to school in last year's (in some cases last 2 year's) school clothes. Ashley is starting her first year at SUCCESS Academy. That means she'll be going to college for half the day. I think I'm more excited about it then she is. It's going to be a great year with bright hope for the future.<div>
