Cute Kids!

I always think my kids are cute, but sometimes I look at them and think they are so cute I can't stand it!  The other day Caitlyn and Jonah both looked so cute before school so I made them take a picture.  We had their parent teacher conferences last week and all of their teachers were very complimentary.  They are both so smart and work hard in school.  I told them the thing I am the most proud of is that they respect their teachers and the other kids in their class. 

Caitlyn is doing great and has passed off all of her multiplication and division facts and has moved up a few reading levels this year. Her teachers love her and always have good things to say about her.

 Jonah's English teacher had great things to say about him.  I was a little nervous about his French teacher because she is very blunt.  She was so complimentary of Jonah.  She showed us his math scores and said, "this is boring, I don't want to talk about this, he knows everything."  She talked to me about how he is doing with the French language.  She showed me the test she gave the kids to test their competency and showed me what the goals were while they are in Elementary school.  Jonah tested above goal in everything.  She said that he writes in French better than the kids she taught in France.  On one part of the test they gave Jonah a picture and he had to write a paragraph describing the picture.  He scored really high on this one.  She said he wrote a perfect paragraph that made sense and was even spelled correctly.  It was so fun to hear about how well he is doing.  It is amazing to me that in a few short months he can already communicate in French.  She said his accent is great and there are very few students who are on the level that he is.  She kept saying that it was really good that we put him in the program because otherwise he would be really bored.  It was good to hear that because that is the reason we put him in the dual immersion program.  Okay, I'm done bragging, for now!

Speaking of cute kids, look at this kid!  He is so cute!  Wyatt has been stuttering a lot lately.  Jonah did the same thing at his age and grew out of it so I'm not too worried about it.  I think his mind is just working too fast for his mouth to keep up with it.

Wyatt wanted a shoulder ride the other night.  He is so fun to play with.  He always says the funniest things.

Hallee is her usual spunky self!  She has started saying a couple new words, but she still babbles more than saying words.  She loves to tattle on the other kids.  She will come and say something to me with a sad face and I have to guess what happen because she won't be happy until I figure out what happened.  Once I figure it out and ask her, she will nod and run off.

She loves to go in our room and get into everything that she shouldn't be getting into. 

She still loves to streak any chance she gets.  Here she is running from me the other day when she took her diaper off.  I'm sure I'm sending mixed messages when I tell her no and then take a picture.

It was so cute to see Hallee and Keith having a tea party the other day.

Last week we took my mom to lunch and then went over to her house for her birthday.  Wyatt and Rockwell had a great time playing!

It is so nice that Wyatt has a friend at grandma's.  He told me that Rockwell is his best friend!

It is almost impossible to get a picture of Hallee and Tessa.  They are both too busy and never look at the same time, but oh they are cute!

Dante and Alexys slept over Thursday night so my parents could have a night away.  They were really good and the kids had a lot of fun. 

Keith took Jonah and Dante to the Lego movie on Friday.  They had a lot of fun. 

Saturday I dropped Caitlyn and Jonah off at grandma's and took Wyatt and Hallee to Rockwell's birthday party.  They had so much fun!  Tiff filled the basement with balloons.

It was a little boys paradise. 

The boys all had a blast playing with the balloons and jumping on Paul.

I made the kids pose for some pictures before church yesterday.  I was really proud of myself that we made it on time to church.  I don't know why I have such a hard time with that.  Keith usually has meetings all morning on Sunday.  I always think I have plenty of time and then we end up running late. 

I think Keith was a little surprised to see us walk in ten minutes early!
