Parent Teacher Conferences

This week we had parent teacher conferences. Ashley has been doing very well. She got to show off how much she has learned over the last few months. Her teacher said she is ready for first grade. We knew once Ashley got going she would be hard to stop.

Matthew originally started at this pre-school to help him learn how to complete his words when talking in sentences. He has improved so much that at this last parent teacher conference they told us that he could be a peer model. (A student, with no disabilities, who attends preschool with kids who have skills that need improvement) We have also had many compliments to Matthew that he is easier to understand. Matthew has made many friends and looks forward to going to school everyday.

We are in the process of revamping the site. Come back to see the latest.

January Fever

AS FAST AS FAST CAN BE . . .


Here is Kaylene, Ashley, Matthew, and Jared's attempt at making a Ginger Bread House.













I don't think they did to bad for their first attempt.









Jared was so proud of helping put this together.



It was made from a kit that a member of the ward gave us.

TRENTON IS HUNGRY!!










Trenton has started eating solid foods. He is going so good.



Here he is trying to feed himself. I guess we weren't feeding him fast enough.












He had his sixth month appointment last Monday, and the doctor said he was perfect. They always say that. We have to agree.

IT'S PLAYTIME!!




Here is Jared and Matthew playing with some of my gloves that I get at work.


They decided that they wanted to try the rooster thing. You know this is going to be in style next week. :)

Christmas through New Year's Day and Beyond!!!

We apoligize for not getting the word out about Ashley's Christmas Concert. Ashley's Christmas Concert was on December 14, 2007. We did not know that the "All School Play" meant that everyone was involved. We thought it meant that anyone could participate. Now that we know each of our children will be involved, we will invite everyone earlier next year.

Christmas DAY

We had a very nice Christmas. The children were very excited after seeing their presents that Santa left for them. HO! HO! HO!

The children had a great time on Christmas. Here is a list of presents the children got:

Ashley: A child's digital camera, pajamas, shoes, jump rope, fingernail polish and a large size doll.

Matthew: A scooter, pajamas, Spider-man radios, guitar, and a remote control car.

Jared: A trike, a coat, a crash car toy, a doodle pro, and fridge phonics by leap pad (which is awesome to teach them their letters and sounds of the alphabet).

Trenton: A walker, chew toys, clothes, blanket from Great Grandma Hobbs, and "link-a-do's."

Kaylene: Cd's by Josh Groban, earrings, curlers for her hair, and socks.

Paul: An electric blanket (which is very nice and warm), and an entertainment system.

On Christmas morning we were invited to have breakfast at a friends house. It was fun.

Ashley's Birthday

Ashley turned 6 year old on December 29, 2007. Here's a picture of her birthday cake. She got a nice Sunday Dress, roller skates, Sunday shoes, a barbie doll, and a microphone that doesn't work.

Happy New Year

We had a small party on New Year's Eve which was very enjoyable. Family is invited for the party next year. Put it on your calendars and hope to see you then!!!!

Trenton started to roll from his stomach to his back on Thursday, January 10, 2008. A couple hours later he started to rolling from his back to his stomach. All in one day. Here's a short clip.

I told him he didn't have to do everything in 1 day. Next week, he might be graduating college (Just kidding).

At the bottom of the page are links to LDS.org. Why? Well, here's why?

"At a commencement address on December 15, 2007, Elder M. Russell Ballard urged graduating students at Brigham Young University-Hawaii to use blogs and other forms of “new media” to contribute to a national conversation about the Church." (LDS.org)

So, to follow this council, the links are at the bottom of the page. Enjoy.
