Blake's Preschool Year

Blake is 3 and had his first year of Pre school. He did a Coop with a few kids in the Ward. Eli, Charlotte ad Kaitlynn. We switched houses every week and it was fun.

Blake has really come to life this year. He love jumping on the trampoline and his favorite colors are red and blue and orange. he is really into shoes, if there was a choice between toys and shoes, shoes would win.

 He likes to go to Jumpin,  a trampoline park and he likes to ride his scooter and lay with playdough.  He also likes to color and likes  power rangers. He likes to watch My Big Big friend and Caillou.
His best friends are Ryan and Kaitlynn . He likes to play with everyone.

 Taylor is still is best friend and he asks for him all the time. It's been hard having the older boys gone for school all day. He really is special to have around. He says he wants to be BIG but we tell him to please stay small foe us.

Taylor's 3rd grade Year

Taylor has had an awesome too. He graduated 3rd grade.  His favorite part of the year was field day because they had different fun stations with things to do. His teacher was Mrs. Harwell and his math teacher was Mrs. Silk. His favorite subject was Math or Music.

 He got to be in the art show this year with a fish mosaic and he has had a good year. His friends at school are Kale. Marcus, Sebastian, Shaun, and Gunnar and some girls. 
His church friends are Dallin, Austin, Zander, Sean, and Bryson and Carter and COllin.

He played soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. He had a good team. He is doing baseball in the summer. He likes pitching and catching. he got to go in a limo down to a Rockies game for a friend's birthday party. That was pretty cool.

 He also likes to scooter and ride his bike and be outside. He has been very helpful with Blake and I'm pretty sure he is Blake's best friend. He is really concerned with his hair right now and into fashion.He has a pair of Micheal Jackon parachute pants and he tried to wear them everyday to school.I had to hide them for a while. LOL anyway here he is as William Penn the guy on the outside of the Quaker Oats box. The 3rd grader did a Wax Museum where they had a prepared speech and got to pretend they were a statue. Parents and friends went to learn about all the different characters in History. It was pretty cool. I'm glad he wore a costume like everyone else. 

Landon's 8th grade Year

Landon has had a great year. He started in a brand new building at Windsor Charter Academy and we started about 2 weeks late so it would be done.  The school is years 6-12 right now but it is already full so they are adding on this summer. It has been a lot of ups and down. He started the year, He didn't know what to expect from this teachers. Here are his teachers names.
Mr. Potson-History
Mr. Paige-Science
Miss Smith-English
Miss Filbey-Spanish
Mr. Duvall-PE
Mr. Kaehler-Math
Mrs. Frazee for Band
Mrs. Preece-Advisor

He took band and study hall and myth busters this year. His favorite subject in school is Math.  He played soccer for both middle school and recreation both Fall and Spring seasons. He has been with this team for 5 years so it will be bittersweet for me when he moves on a little bit. I actually got a little emotional his last game. His coaches Ellingson and Coach Berrit have been amazing and it is so fun to see how much they have grown as a team and everything. This was also the year of basketball. Last year he had broken his

, basketball for both middle school, high school and Power to play. It is a private league. 

The High School needed more players because they are just starting out their teams so they asked him to play and were really appreciative of him. He got a lot of playing time in this year and really improved. It was awesome. He improved as a player and as a person. 

 His friends from school are Jude and Keon. His friends from church are Kobe, Kaden, Daxton, Will and well everyone.  He was also Deacons quorum president at church and really enjoyed it. He was given a blessing y the Bishop promising he would do alright in school if he  tried hard to do what is right. That  was really true.  

He  reads his scriptures almost every morning and really is an example to our family. He really has had an awesome year.

Landon got to go to Elitches down in Denver for band trip and competition.They placed first. Gold. For his 8th grade trip they went to a service project, Horsetooth and hiked it to the falls and back. They also went to Fly high a trampoline park. They ate at Nordys BBcue and went back to the school for games and overnighter.

Landon says the best part of 8th grade is he doesn't know.  He's just happy to have another year done. He is dreading high school but a little excited too.  He graduates this week and they have a ceremony at the school. He will be in high school starting 2016 Fall. Yikes!!! Time flies.
