Cub Scouts

My neighbor friends Brandon and Aaaron. They are 12 and 13 years old. They are in the Boy Scout Program. The older boys helped pass out flyers with us Cub Scouts. It was nice having their help.

The Gift of Reading

Tyler has really caught the gift of reading this year. He is now in 2nd Grade and reading at 3rd/4th Grade level. He says he loves reading Nonfiction. He loves finding books that teach him facrs about different things in this world. Lately hes been on a real big Military kick. Hes gained a strong friendship with Walter and Mac at school and the three of them just thrive off of playing and pretending to be in the military. One day after school I took him to the Library to find some good Nonfiction books on the Military. So far he has read about Basic Training, Military Equipment, Military battle and much more.
If youre ever wondering where Tyler is these days, you can find him outside in the front yard in his Army attire, hiding in the nieghbors bushes and brush pretending to be in full battle. Hes even recruited his younger brothers Trevor and Spencer. Its so cute to see him really get into the material he's reading and incorporate that magic into his playtime.

Homework Assignment

Tyler's homework assignment today was centered around character. I love how Mrs. Benson includes behavior worksheets in her homework packets. This one in particular was asking for Tyler to search in a magazine and find a someone who is a good leader or example of good behavior. He decided to search through the "Friend" magazine and use this image of the Savior teaching the people. I thought it was very sweet that he chose Jesus Christ as his leader and example. Great Choice Tyler.

Shoes On Sale


My old shoes were torn to shreds and Mommy had to duck tape the holes in the heel so they wouldn't leak water inside. After spending the night at Aunt Melanie's new house the whole family and I decided to go to Scheels to buy some new shoes. We noticed a sale rack with all kinds of shoes. To our surprise these cool black shoes happened to be my exact size and best of all they were only 9 dollars. This was a blessing to our family since we have been really tight on money lately. I know Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and answers our prayers.

A Cool Shower Dude

I have been teaching myself how to wrap a towel around my waist. It makes me feel big and grown up like my Daddy. I get grumpy when my mom tells me to jump in the shower. But the water is so hot and relaxing I don't want to get out and I find myself enjoying the shower more then I thought.

Making Reading Fun, One Wag At A Time

My mom organized a fun activity in my S.F.A. reading class. We got to read our book "Who is Wilfred" to Neva and Brewster who are therapy dogs. It was fun and I was excited to read to them. I'm glad I have a Mommy that comes to school and makes reading time fun.

One day I was playing star wars with Dad. Then I lost my legs and my arms too. Next I turned into a midget.
