So Proud !

You know how when you have your first child you practice all letters, numbers, colors, etc. a lot. We did. We had Jared on the computer doing learning games all the time. All his toys were learning toys, so when he went to kindergarten he was more than prepared.(Minus his counting to twenty a little funny) When Drew came along, I was a little more busy so I didn't spend the time on that stuff like I had with Jared. Don't get me wrong, I did work with Drew on that stuff but not as much. I always knew he was smart. He would do math problems, want to sound out words and know how to spell things. So today Darrin and I went to his school to have the beginning of the year Parent teacher conference. Last week they gave the kindergarten class a test of all the things they want them to know by the end of the year. The teachers want to know what need to be taught. So when we sat down with Drew and his teacher Mrs. Olson she was so excited. She couldn't believe how much Drew knew. The test was out of 140 points and Drew scored a 127. She even called him gifted. Needless to say we are so proud of Drew.

18 months and counting!

Yesterday I took Caleb for his 18 month check-up. He is as healthy as can be. He weighs 21 lbs. & 15 oz. which puts him in the 6 %. For height he is in the 31% at 32 3/4 inches. He was so precious. For those of you who know Caleb you know that he doesn't like to be touched by strangers. When the Dr. was checking him he kept crying "All Done, All Done". He cried more when he had is check-up then when he gets his shots. We are so thankful Caleb is in our family. He is so fun and loves his brothers so much and wants to be with them always.

Jared's Big Day

On Saturday was Jared's baptism. It was a wonderful day full of family and friends. Jared got baptized with my niece's son Dallin. They were baptized in the afternoon. Jared's Grandma Rachel gave the opening prayer, Jared's Uncle Jeff gave the talk on baptism, the cousin's sang a song, Dallin's Aunt Laura gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, and a friend of Dallin's gave the closing prayer. The day was great and ended with a BBQ at Grandma Rachel's house with food, fun and water games for the kids what and awesome day.
