What a hard worker Ethan is!

I just finished helping Ethan (4th grader) with homework! It's 9:13. He's been doing it since 4:00. A break to eat is all. His teacher wanted him to do all his makeup work tonight. (3 days absent) I think that's a little to much....now he has to read for 45 minutes! Everyone would like to have him for a student. He worked so hard and was determined to finish. He did the work and I checked it. He knew how to do 99% of it on his own. I'm really proud of him! His teacher is really a hard teacher. He hasn't had recess for a month (and most of the rest of the class) because he has to read to catch up for AR points from the beginning of the year. Excuse me....he started right after Labor Day. He shouldn't have to worry about the previous month. He went to school in Utah since July. We'll see how the next few weeks go!

Brody and Rigden had their birthdays

Brody turned four on Nov. 12 and Rigden turned two on the 26th. Christopher and Bailey had left on a Carribean Cruise on the 12th so we celebrated the boys birthday together on the 23rd. Christopher rented a huge game truck. It was a blast for all the kids and the adults. It had four big screens to play about any video game that you wanted to play and the back of the truck opened up and you could play Guitar Hero. It was really a fun and a special night. Bailey's family came over and Gary's family. We had pizza for dinner. Connie and Homer came by and my neighbors came and sang along too. What a way to celebrate a birthday!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year we had my mom and Ronnie's family over. I fixed all the food except for the deviled eggs and cheesecake that Aleia made. Thanks Alei..they were yummy! Heather's family went to Utah and Christopher was with Bailey's family. Hopefully next year it will be our turn for all of our family to be together. Since we didn't have all of them on Thursday we had Christopher and Heather's family over for dinner on Sunday. We had a fun night. We played a fun word game that was on Heath's
I -phone. We really had fun. The kids that could read played and really did a great job. The little ones played, colored the walls, got in the Q-Tips and other things. They had fun though. Ron...did the dishes. Yeah! Thanks Ron! Then he came and played the game. It was a fun night and I really enjoyed it! Love my family! I only wish Ronnie's family could have been here too.
