It is so hard, the nicer dad is, the more I miss him.

Jonah is doing a lot better, but he is still stressing about Keith going to work every day.  One night he was upset and he told me, "It is hard, the nicer dad is, the more I miss him and I don't want him to go to work.  It doesn't matter how nice or mean you are because I always see you."  If only Keith weren't so nice!

Keith helped Jonah with his community project.  They had to build a business from the community.  Jonah wanted to do Discover Card.  He says he wants to work there when he gets older.  I am amazed how much it really looked like Keith's building.  Keith has been trying to spend extra time with Jonah lately, since he seems to really need it.  One night they went to Nickel Cade and had a great time.

We got to go and look at all of the 2nd graders projects last week.  They were pretty impressive.  We walked around a little and then Hallee started to freak out because it was so crowded.  Wyatt went and sat with Jonah and Hallee and I went on the stage where it wasn't crowded. 

The kids have all liked playing with play dough lately. 

These two girls are so cute!  We have had fun meeting up with Tiff at McDonalds.

Wyatt and Hallee have a picnic or a party pretty much every day.

Caitlyn was excited that Amarie invited her over for a sleep over last weekend.  She ended up spending all day Saturday at their house too.  She didn't want to come home!

We have been having fun watching Jonah's basketball games.  He is a good player.  The coach drives me crazy because he doesn't work with them at all, but Jonah still has fun.  Jonah and Gaven are funny during the game, they try to only pass to each other.  I think it is because they are friends, but also because they are the only ones with ball handling skills!  Gaven came with us to watch EJ and Elijah's game last weekend after their game.  I love watching basketball so it is fun to go watch my nephews play, especially because they are so good!

Caitlyn and Jonah got their report cards last week. They both got perfect report cards.  Caitlyn's teacher wrote some really nice stuff about how she depends on her academically and socially.  She has Caitlyn help the other kids with division.  Ms. Jenn is great and really makes Caitlyn feel special.   Caitlyn and I went to Café Rio after activity days to celebrate her hard work.  She is so funny.  She talks and talks and tells me every little thing that happened during the day. I'm so grateful she will talk and tell me when she is having a hard time. 

We have started having Caitlyn and Jonah take turns reading a scripture story after scripture reading every night.  Wyatt and Hallee usually like it!

Caitlyn and Jonah had fun giving Wyatt and Hallee piggy backs the other day.

Hallee loves to get in dress up.  She had fun dancing around the room while Wyatt played the piano.

We worked on a family home evening packet at activity days this week.  Caitlyn was excited to give us the lesson yesterday.  There were fun activities in there for the kids.

These kids are growing up so fast.  They keep getting cuter and more fun.
