3 out of 4!

Katy got them a couple of years ago, has now graduated to Contacts-mostly because of soccer and getting hit in the head by opposing players and Totally twisting her glasses off of her face!

Asa got them about a month ago!

Ben, so far the Blindest out of them all-I don't know HOW he saw Anything before!!

Sophie gets checked next week!

Thank Heaven for insurance!!!

Are you Smarter than a 4th grader?!

Asa's in the 4th grade at the new charter school. These are some of his spelling words:
cognoscenti,
sanguinary,
dissonance,
consanquinity,
sonorous...


Huh?!?!

I had to look these words' meanings up! Don't even ask me to Spell them!!

And my boy-he can spell them and tell you the meanings! Now, to actually use these every day!

Birthday Boy!

As luck would have it, a "kids" movie was released to theaters on this weekend! So, instead of the annual Bowling Birthday Party, Asa opted for a Movie Party!

Asa invited nine 10-11 year old boys!

There was NO way I was keeping ALL of these boys here for long, but we need a place to 'do' the presents and cake...

Then we loaded everyone in to the vehicles and took them to the theater, where I didn't mind if they made a minor mess!

The featured film: The Christmas Carol! (I won't go into a full movie review, I'll just say-it would have been better viewed in 3D! But, the boys all liked it!)

First Day at a NEW School

Asa, Ben and Sophie started school today, 2 week after the County School District. They started a New Charter school in town and these 3 are lucky enough to be some of the first students to attend!

We know Ben's teacher really well, and the kids know Sophie's teacher as she was a sub at their old school. And all of the grades (it is a k-8 school) are learning Spanish, built in to the curriculum! And they have Uniforms! Made school shopping nice and easy and a little easier on the pocket book!

The kids were All VERY excited to go to school today. I think they were a little bored with all of their friends in school already!

Trying to stay on top of things!

The Cub Scouts had their First Annual Webelos Camp Out up in Lamoille Canyon!

It rained the first night, straight through into the morning!

It didn't stop the scouts from having fun and getting their advancements done! And a 3 mile hike, and investigating of a 'Really Big' Beaver dam! Or from cooking S'mores and, in general, being Noisy, Rambucsious Cub Scouts!!

Asa's 9th Birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASA!

I can hardly believe Asa is 9 years old, already! Good grief, they are ALL growing so fast!

We took Asa, a few of his friends, and some of their siblings to see Madagascar 2 and then we went home fore cake, ice cream, and Presents! Let me tell you, it was an experience taking 8 kids to the movies!

But, they all had a blast-all 8 of them sat in the Very FRONT row (I don't know how they do that and not get a headache from the angle and the motion that close to the screen!)
