Isaac’s in Kindergarten

Isaac started his educational journey on September 2, 2008. His first day of Kindergarten. He was as excited as every other kid is. Of course, it only took a short time for him to say, as his cousin did, do I have to go back again.

His teacher is Mrs. Watkins. She was the teacher that Victoria worked with last year. He has about 30 kids in his class. His favorite part about kindergarten is chasing the girls during recess. He has improved a great deal in his artistic endeavors. He loves to draw and create things now even more than before.

Of course, now he is learning all the wonderful things the other kids are teaching him. Mommy and Daddy love that part. Isaac is sitting here and tells me that he is teaching them. He is the third teacher because they have two teachers and whenever he is done with his work they send him to help the other kids.

 

 

New Ultrasound Picture of the Baby

Here is an ultrasound picture of the baby. This was taken on Saturday (10/11). The baby measured 15 oz. and 21 weeks. Tori was 20 weeks and 2 days and 15 oz should be in the end of week 23 so as expected the baby is measuring big. Shocker! :) We have a dozen or so other pictures that will be on our picture website soon.

 

Rebekah's Puzzle

Rebekah put this puzzle together all by herself. Literally, she got out the puzzle, sat down and we found her with two or three pieces left.

Isaac Starts Soccer

Isaac had his first soccer practice tonight. Most of the kids were tired after half an hour but Isaac was just getting warmed up. The boy has energy. He is very excited and is practicing at home all the time.

TP'd

This is the second time we have been tp'd at this house. The best part is that our neighbor came running over to try to help us catch them. She kept ringing the doorbell to wake us up. She was worried for us. Gotta love the Mormon culture. We felt loved because of this. How ironic. They did a good job.

Rebekah's Hair

Tori is having fun learning how to do Rebekah's hair. A short blast to the past with this one.

Family Home Evening

Here are three pictures of a recent family home evening activity. First we drew what we thought the cureloms and cumoms mentioned in the Book of Mormon looked like. Then we drew a picture of ourselves. Most entertaining.

Camping at the Beach

We spent the last three days (Monday - Wednesday) camping with Warren's family at Doheney State Beach. This turned out to be just the correct length for Rebekah but a day too short for Isaac. The best part was going over to Dana Point cove. There are no waves there so the kids loved it. They didn't want to leave there. This is always a fun trip.

Sea World

We went to Sea World with Bama and Cyndee's Family. Lot's to see so we stayed at Laura's house overnight in order to be able to see the shows on the first night and to see all the other sights the next day. Everybody loved feeding the dolphins. Isaac has continually referred to the trip in casual conversation and still is full of questions about what he saw. Naturally the pictures below are a slideshow of the activities.

By the way, I am the crazy that keeps taking pictures of the flowers. I have always enjoyed pictures of nature and take them so that I have new pictures for my desktop on my computer. I even actually remember my father asking me why I would take pictures of the scenery without people in them when I was a teenager away at scout camp.

Annual Beach Trip

We leave tomorrow for our annual (sort of) family camping at the beach trip. It should be a lot of fun. Of course, we will be posting a lot of pictures when we get back.

We just went to Sea World also and we will get the pictures from that trip posted soon also.
