Caeden's haircut

Before

This past week Caeden decided to experiment with cutting his own hair. He cut a huge chunk out of his bangs. It didn't look too bad as long as we combed it to the side, but by the end of the week, I couldn't stand it any more. This morning I "evened it out..." At least he'll have a cool head for the rest of the summer.
After

Little muncher...

Guess who's discovered the apple basket? He loves the apples, just not the peels. Those he just spits out... where ever he may be standing... But it's funny to watch him finish a whole apple. He's getting so big so fast!

Another reader in the family!

Levi makes me smile!
He's really getting into books recently. He has decided that Jacob's "Blue's Clues Thinking Chair" is one of his favorite spots to sit in when we're in Jacob's room. He'll grab a book or two off of the bookshelf and sit himself down and "read." I love my smart boys!

Aaron's adventure

Aaron and some of his co workers went mountain biking this weekend. It had been a while since Aaron last went biking, but he was excited to go. They biked the trail called the "Wasatch Ridge." Aaron had quite the adventure. He puked on his shoes, which was only appropriate since he had just finished a big climb called "Puke Hill." He wiped out about 4 times, bent his rear tire, and discovered that his 11 year old bike isn't quite as cool as what we thought it was when we first bought it. He also learned that if you are going to go mountain biking along the Wasatch crest, you need to change out the road tires!!! At the end of the day, after a long bath, lots of ibuprofin, 4 stitches in his elbow, and a good scrubbing of his shoes, he was glad he went.

Meet Senator Hall!

These first few weeks of school have been busy! We do so much homework!!! We have to track reading minutes, physical activity minutes, music practice, and homework, then send the logs in to the teachers to get credit. On top of all the fun learning we are doing, Jordan decided to run for "B-Track President!" He made it past the primaries, and came in second in the run-off on Friday, which means he is the b track senator. He was a little bummed not to have won, but is excited to be a part of the student council. I'm thinking, it's not bad for a first run at office. And I'm really happy to not have to make any more posters or help him with his speeches... Now he gets to go to meetings and feel important... I'm glad that my kids want to be involved. I surely wasn't that kind of kid!
