Where we just moved, there's a brand new Elementary School opening up, and we debated about what to do for the kids for school this year. Last year we loved the K12 Utah Virtual Academy. It's a great program, and we had a lot of fun with it. When we talked about it with the kids over the summer, they both wanted to do the Virtual Academy again. Then later, we went through the new elementary school to check it out and Gavin decided that he wanted to try the new school this year. Connor still wanted to do the virtual academy so that's what we're doing! So far, Gavin's having a lot of fun at school. He says he already knows the principal...not sure what that's supposed to mean! Connor's enjoying school at home and more one-on-one time with Mom, and Aidan's enjoying being a reckless toddler! Life is good :) We're having fun, and enjoying our new routine.
What a big boy!! He made that decision on his own and is loving it that is so great!! Is Gavin in first grade now and conner in kindergarten? I forget!
they are growing up so fast. Both of my kids are in school too. I'm having a hard time. Rose loves kindergarden. she has the same teacher Ruth had last year. Ruth is having a little bit of a hard time. Miss you guys. Hope to see you soon!
Gavin loves soccer, running around outside, riding his bike or scooter and playing with his brothers. He also likes school, and is very helpful and thoughtful. He likes reading and learing about the Gospel. He's still a bundle of energy, but we love it!
Updates on "Cheeks"
Connor is the biggest sweetheart and loves to snuggle. He's helpful to me and his brothers. He likes to play outside. He's our biggest daredevil on his bike or scooter or his grandpa's 4-wheeler...so far only one broken arm ;) He loves school and his teacher and spelling.
Updates on "Nuggles"
Aidan is FULL of energy. He loves to run around outside and play with the neighbors. He's learning his letters and sounds for preschool and knows his numbers and colors. Aidan is one of the big boys now and keeps up with his big brothers. He gives great hugs and snuggles!
Updates on "Mr. Squishy" or "Mr. O"
Owen is starting to talk. He says words like Mama, Dada, Bah (bath), No, Baby, Kisses, Hugs, Moh (more). His smile melts my heart and his eyes dance with light! I love this little boy!
Updates on "Monty"
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
"I have a burn in my heart." (I think Gavin meant to say heartburn.)
"Hey, don't tickle my nickels!" (I was tickling Gavin's armpits!)
Mommy: "That doesn't mean you can just sit down and throw a fit." Gavin: "I didn't. I just stood up and threw a fit."
Mommy: "Everything but cheese." Gavin: "Butt cheese. Eww gross."
Mommy: "Will you always be my little boy?" Connor: "Uh-huh...even when I'm 99."
"I love you and Bo the same." (Connor said this to me. Bo is our cat. Coming from a five-year-old little boy, I think it was meant as a compliment!"

This is a book about a young teenage boy who can see paths into the past. At first he only uses this gift to hunt with his father; to see the paths that the animals have taken. Later he meets up with a friend who has a different gift, and together they try to combine and teach each other their gifts and end up on a really cool adventure. The writing was great, as were the characters. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.
