Landon's First Field Trip

Landon went on his first field trip a few weeks ago. I went with him. Here are some pictures from the day.

Hail

This morning we had some hail.

My car was outside and has some minor dents in it from all of the hail.

Quotes from the boys

Landon:

One night recently at the dinner table Marcie asked Landon what his favorite part of the day was. He thought for a moment and told his mom:

"My favorite part of the day is loving you!"

Blake:

When we were at Marcie's parents house for Christmas, Blake was trying to pedal on thier exercise bike. I asked Blake if he was exercising on the stationary bike. He said:

"I am not exercising - I am not a girl!"

We think it is because Marcie goes to the gym during the day and Blake see a lot of girls exercising.

Tithing Settlement

Blake was very tired after donating after tithing settlement. He held onto his donation slip through his nap!

Christmas Tree

Here is our Christmas tree this year.

Tribes Award

At the end of November Landon was given the tribes award. Tribes is what the schools in our area use to describe the code of conduct and learning. Landon was recognized in front of the whole school on their Friday assembly. Landon loves school.

Star of the Week

Landon was chosen to be Star of the week for this Kindergarten class. He was chosen because he has been a role model in his class and had made good choices.

Part of being star of the week, he made a poster about himself that was hung up in his classroom all week.

We are so proud of him.
