Landon: Update


 
Landon has ideas on how to make money that I've never thought of. He didn't ask me to bake up a doze cookies or whip up some seriously watered down Kool-aid. Oh no.  He's much wiser. ;)

And never mind the neatly organized line that also served as a deterrent for car owners to drive or park in our driveway. It's the stuff rental cars and airports are made of. I'm sure Landon's just protecting his chalk art.

And the best part about all of this, it isn't the $1.50 he made.  It's that PEOPLE DO BUY ROCKS!  Think about all your landscape designers or people who drive all over the valley collecting river rocks to decorate with.... I'm tellin' ya.  He's genius.

On top of that, wrapping up first grade is monumental.  With Mother's Day, I got art and poems and all sorts of goodies!


Along with all this, I am amazed at how well Landon is reading.  It's like a light when on and he's now graduating first grade at a reading level of a 3rd grader. {Cate and Landon are sharing books!}





Sunday {Mother's Day, May 13} Landon woke up with severe Pink Eye.
Poor kid.  Well, long story short, he worked on building some Lego things. 
And then got a hold of my camera without my knowledge.
I don't know if he's a born photographer or just naughty.
Because he knows he shouldn't be playing with my camera.


He also just performed his little 1st grade musical that his class has been preparing for quite some time.  I'll be posting about it soon!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!! I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn, and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.   You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.   We are so glad you are a part of our family! *You love to play outside. *You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess. *You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.   *You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy. *You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice. * You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb.  *You love the computer. *You love to shop. *You have one year to be ready for your baptism! *When you fall asleep, you are out like a light! *You love your teacher, Ms. Bair. *You need a bigger bike. *You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb. *You draw people really well, and ...

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
