My Little Reader

Brett loves to read. Here he is reading Dr. Seuss. "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish". His teacher is amazed at how well he is doing. I love that he wants to read to me! He doesn't like to read the books he gets from school though. They are embarassing!

Brett quote of the day

Saturday evening Brett is getting out of the bath. As I towel off his head he says, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" I wrap the towel around him and he looks at me and says, "Do you understand 'OW'?"

Where does the time go?

I can't believe another week is gone. I'm not even sure what I accomplished in the last week. Dave just walked by, "That's really interesting," he says with just a touch of sarcasm! But, here are a few of the interesting things we did this week anyway. The kids went to the dentist and we had no cavities, hooray! Brett went to a fun birthday party for playgroup this week and got to wear his spiderman suit. Spiderman is one of his new favorite things. Paige had a field trip to the arts and science museum. She loved the planetarium. I went to a fun and inspiring enrichment meeting. Friday night we pulled weeds and put down new mulch. Saturday morning was spent cleaning the church and buying paint and window trim. The kids just loved that (another touch of sarcasm). But, the weather Saturday was as perfect as it can get and we ending the evening with friends at a fun barbeque/birthday party.

Brett quote of the day

Brett loves that he is learning to read.
He reads signs whenever we are in the car.
Today on the way to school he asked,
"Why does that sign say Park already!"
It was a street sign: Park Rd.

Oh, and last week he asked,"What does entemer mean?"
"Where did you see that word?"
"That sign said Do not entemer."

Oh Ty!

It was a great weekend hanging out at home watching conference. So many great messages, I can't wait to read and study them when the "Ensign" comes. I was enjoying Elder Ballard's talk. He mentioned things that children can do to help their mothers, such as pick up their toys, make their beds, say "thank you" and "I love you." Dave commented to the kids that it was an inspired message. Ty says, "Expired message?" "INspired" "Oh, darn." No such luck the message is still good!

By the way...he took first place in the pinewood derby this week!

The big boy is getting too big!

It' s not just Brett growing too fast for me. Bryce walked a girl home from school yesterday! They ride the same bus and when they were told it had broken down they decided it would be faster to walk (It really isn't very far). They both know they can't walk home alone so they stuck together and beat the bus home. He doesn't admit to liking girls yet, but puberty has arrived at our house. Help!

Brett has figured out the DVR

Brett just came to tell me that he was watching the show with Batman and his "assistant." He told me just how he found it on the list, read it, and selected it. He also can get on the webkinz site by himself. I am not ready for him to be big!
