Getting Ready!

On February 26th, Brody will be getting baptized. I can't believe this day has already come. Where is the time going? Last week I pulled him out of school for a quick trip to the mall (to borrow a suit) and then off to a photo session with Miss Ashley at the Temple. He looked so grown up and mature. He looked like he was ready for his mission! It made my heart stop for a minute when I looked at him all dressed up in that black suit. Wow, I'm going to be a mess come February 26th!

Wow Brody! You sure are a handsome dude! That blue tie matches your blue eyes perfectly!

YOU WILL GO TO KINDERGARTEN SNOW DAY!!!

You would never know from the look on his face that he didn't want to go to kindergarten snow day!

After the 100th day of school the Kindergarten kids had snow day. Apparently they use their ECA money to rent a snow truck and have a patch of snow sprayed in the parking lot for all the kindergarten kids to play in. I'm not sure how they get that approved, but they do and the kids seem to enjoy it. So the morning of snow day Case gets up, eats breakfast and starts to get ready for the big day. As he realizes he doesn't have the proper "snow clothes" he starts to panic. The tears start flowing and he is refusing to go to snow day. I calmly explain that since we live in Arizona, there is a good chance that not one kindergartner will have "snow clothes." Well Case is not going for it, he is crying and throwing a FIT! We are running late for the bus which is making me upset so I am wrestling with my kindergartner trying to get his grubby jeans and hunting jacket on. He is resisting my help and screaming, "I AM NOT GOING TO SNOW DAY!!" Since I'm not a screamer I firmly tell him, "You WILL go to snow day and YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!" Come to find out, Case was worried about changing out of his wet clothes in to his dry clothes cause his teacher asked him to bring a dry pair of under ware. He was super worried about the kids seeing him in his skivvies. I quickly called his teacher to find out what time snow day would be over and then promised Case I would meet him at the school to help him change into his dry under ware. Phew... problem solved, off to snow day, no more under ware worries! A successful kindergarten snow day!

100th Day HOORAY!

I couldn't fit all 100 smarties on the front of the shirt so I had to go on to the back.

The back of Case's shirt read, "I'm a Smartie on the 100th day of school!"

Last week Case celebrated the 100th day of Kindergarten. You know what that means folks...only 80 days of school left until summer vacation! I sent Case off to school wearing a 20 pound shirt with 100 packages of Smarties hot glued to it. I thought he would take it off the minute he got there since it was so heavy, but he didn't he wore that shirt ALL DAY LONG! He had a ball doing all the 100 day activities and even came home with a 100 day hat.

Hooray for the 100th day!

Toy Story 3

Ledger is just as interested in Legos as Brody and Case. Last week he put together this little Toy Story 3 Lego. Way to go Ledge-Man!

Republic Swamp Speeder

While at the cabin for Christmas break, Case put together this Star Wars Lego. It has 176 pieces and was actually a little difficult. Since Case is not yet as confident as Brody, I simply sit right next to him and point to what he needs to do next. He is actually really good at following the Lego directions. He was super proud that he was able to accomplish this Lego all on his own. Way to go Case Man!
