WEEKLY UPDATE 10/14/07

This was a good week. Here's a run-down on what happened:
  • Chase & Robyn came in to town with baby Annilee. We all got to hold her for the first time. She is so sweet and we are very excited to have our little guy in about a month.
  • Madsion had her first parent teacher conference on Wednesday. She got TOP marks in all her subjects. She is a great reader and she loves to write. Her teacher, Mrs. Jensen, says she is one of her best students and that she is lots of fun to have in class.
  • Lanie had another good week at school. She learned all about the letter"E". She really has enjoyed playing with the new Flip Video camcorder. She has taken some excellent movies herself.
  • Josh has been causeing lots of problems!! Madsion built her own castle with legos and Josh came by and said "I'M A DRAGON!" and crashed down Madison's creation. Snips & snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of!
  • The "Fall Fairy" came to Nanny & Papa's house. We went down on Friday night and set up the tent in the basement. In the morning we got up and there were wild turkeys all over Papa's driveway. Papa made blueberry pancakes and some delicious bacon. We had planned to go on a 4 wheeler ride but it was too rainy. So the Fall Fairy came and left treats all over Nanny & Papa's house. Michelle and Lance brought their kids too and it was fun for the kids to play with them.

ANOTHER GREAT WEEK!

Lemon Juice is NOT Lemonade!

Today Josh learned that the Lemon Juice in the fridge is NOT lemonade.

Sometimes we have to learn things the hard way.

Weekly Update 10/7/07

We had a great week this week.

  • I had a missionary reunion on Friday. The attendance wasn't that great but I did get to see two of my companions. Wiscombe & Callister.
  • Missy is almost 8 months pregnant. She is in that uncomfortable stage of the pregnancy and this little boy likes to move A LOT! He not only moves but likes to push out with his hands and feet HARD. He also likes to push on the bladder which is the reason behind all the frequent bathroom breaks.
  • Madison is an awesome student. She got 140% on her spelling test this week. She got all of her required words correct and her extra credit ones too. These included difficult words like October, oxygen and cotton. She also earned the Super Achievement Award which includes a coupon for a free meal at Del Taco...Pretty exciting!
  • Lanie is able to recite the entire Pledge of Allegiance, word for word, without any help. She also learned about the letter D and has been going around and telling us words that start with D. Like Destinations and Denali! Lanie also really enjoyed conference. She especially loved the singing by the choir.
  • Josh loves to play down in the basement in the new playroom we set up down there. He also has taken an interest in Missy's pregnant belly. He lifted up Missy's shirt and put his ear against her bellybutton. He then proceeded to lift up his shirt so that he could rub bare bellies with his mom.
