Reflections - Luke won!

Luke really wanted to write a story to enter into the reflections contest. I told him it would be a lot of work but he was determined to do it. He wanted to make up a story about a little dinosaur. He worked so hard making up the story and then typing it up and drawing all the illustrations. His story is called Little Dinosaur and is a really cute story about a little dinosaur who wants to be big and brave.

Today was the assembly and Luke won in the literature category! He and one other girl won out of all the Kindergarten-second grade submissions. They had all the kids come up that had entered in that category and there were a lot of them! Wow! It was a really big accomplishment. Now his book goes onto the District level of the contest.

So proud of my talented, creative and smart boy!

Witches night out

Witches night out at Gardner Village was quite the party! The kids loved walking around and seeing all the witches, and Halle especially loved dancing on the stage they had set up with a DJ and dance party they had going!

Slimey

Luke has a new pet. A super long worm he found in grandma Lori's garden on Wednesday. He named him Slimey. I'm shocked the worm is still alive! Every hour or so Luke says "I need to go check on my pet" and runs out to hold Slimey and gets his hands all yucky :). Boys!

Lake Powell

Grandpa Dave and Grandma Dixie bought a houseboat so we got to go on a final Lake Powell trip over the weekend for a last hurrah for the summer. The kids were very brave and jumped in the water even though it was pretty cold! It was lots of fun being down there and we're excited that they now have a houseboat because we'll get to do lots of fun trips in the future!

Musician in the house

Today Luke and Halle decided they would start a band and have been playing the ukuleles grandma Lori and grandpa Sheldon brought them back from Hawaii all day. Luke made this sign that a musician lives in out house and had to hang it up outside on the front porch so people would come see their band.

Go BYU

Daddy and Luke had a boys night and went to a BYU football game tonight. While they were there they also saw uncle Jake. Go BYU!

Kindergarten school picture & smart boy

Luke's kindergarten school picture. 

This picture is cracking me up. How did I know this boy would pull some kind of face? 

He is loving Kindergarten. Tonight as I was putting him to bed he was explaining to me what an asteroid belt is and what the rings on Saturn are made of. I had no idea! When I told him that he rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'll teach you more tomorrow mom." 

Thank goodness I can relearn everything through my kids!
