KJ’s kindergarten program

February 26, 2009
KJ’s kindergarten class had their annual program today. It was sooo stinkin’ cute. Adorable kids. The program was complete with songs, dancing, and a slide show that included baby pictures of all the kids. His teacher Mrs. Harken is truly amazing. This was a very proud moment for Dusty and I, it may have been KJ’s first program at school that he did not pick his nose on stage! We did catch him biting a hang nail, but we’ve come a long ways baby!

Good work buddy! You thoroughly entertained us!

Annie asked her readers this past week if Valentine’s day is:
dud or dandy?
my valentine will not be home for valentine’s day, definite dud.
But, earlier this week, I had a delicious lunch at “classy cuisine” with some of my favorite gals…

happy 100th day of school

January 30, 2009

KJ’s kindergarten class had a homework assignment:

Use 100 items of their choice
{cereal, pretzels, pennies, etc.,}
to make a “100” on a poster
to celebrate the 100th day of school.

KJ chose LEGOS,
he is a LEGOS-kind-of-guy.

As he walked out the door for school today,
maybe he was proud of his work-happy 100th day of school!

school christmas parties

December 20, 2008

Our kids’ school finished the 2008 school year with a pajama day!
They were also let out early at 11:30 am after a morning filled with Christmas parties.

KJ’s class had so many fun activities. Mrs. Harken {a.k.a. mrs. sweetie pie} is always incredible. They had a present exchange, colored fuzzy christmas pictures, had lots of treats, and decorated gingerbread houses.

My friend RoxAnna and I helped out with the ginerbread houses-
My friend Jenn planned the 3rd grade class party, and it was an INCREDIBLE party! The 3rd graders came into the gym and watched “the snowman vs. santa” in 3D. Then they had a cookie and hot cocoa buffet.

christmas around the world

December 5, 2008

I chaperoned for all my kids’ field trip this morning to
Christmas around the world, a very entertaining show performed at the BYU Marriott center by the BYU folk dancers.
While we were walking into the Marriott center, Myla spotted our neighbor and her good friend Elizabeth. They both attend different private schools and I thought it was fun to get a quick picture of them both in their school dresses.
Myla and some of her other girlfriends from school-
The show for the elementary schools is only one hour and they do dances that represent about 8 countries during that time. Of course, the Philippines was totally our favorite.

November book reports

November 30, 2008

I think I’ve mentioned this before but I love how creative my kids get to be at their school with book reports! I would have LOVED to do a book report like this when I was a kid, I only remember standing in front of the class and talking about the books I had read… so blah.

Kiana read, “Deep, Dark, and Dangerous” by Mary Downing Hahn this month and made a really cool diagram that had a river going through it. For the river she used my kitchen “glad” lids, cut out in the shape of the river and filled it with Vaseline to look like water running through it. so creative!
Myla read “Ruby the red fairy”
