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!

Lol, I totally sold rocks when I was his age too! And Ella came home with the same poem and handprint for mothers' day. Love it!

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.

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 ...

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
