April's Happenings

The kids have been having some crazy fun this month. They had a friend over the other day and brought down TONS of toys from the toy room down to our living room and then made a very organized mess! Elise joined in the fun. Weston is such a wonderful big helper. He loves taking care of Elise. They are close buddies. He is getting closer to his baptism (daily I hear how many days til he gets baptized!). He has just finished Fourth Nephi, so he will accomplish his goal of reading the Book of Mormon before his 8th birthday!


Weston has been busy at school with fieldtrips (one to the Energy Solutions Arena--where the Jazz play) and some reports. We will tell about those next month.


Brennan has started playing with some nieghborhood friends and he got invited to his first friend birthday party. He was so excited he fell asleep with the invitation clutched in his hand!

Brennan has been saying some funny things, too. The other day he said his belly hurt. Here is the conversation:

B: Mom, those things in my belly hurt.

Me: What things? Your muscles?

B: no, those things that are hard.

Me: Your bones?

B: Yes, the bones in my belly hurt.


He was talking about what he wants to be when he grows up and he said, "A fire truck". Good luck with that big boy!


Aidan was the star of the week, which meant he got to display a poster all about himself, do special things in the class, and share a treat (he chose jellybeans, he says they are his favorite). Later I did a "Fairy Tale Friday" for his class and taught them about Jack and the beanstalk. We planted beans and they got a bag of "Magic Beans" (more jelly beans) to eat!
Aidan has hit the 100th day of Kindergarten and they had a big celebration. He lives for parties! He came home from school saying it was the best day ever.

He has learned how to gallop with his hands and he has not stopped galloping since. If he isn't singing, he is galloping, and sometimes he is doing both!
