Parent Teacher Conf Sept 29, 2009

We got great reports from the boys teachers tonight.

Matthew:
Matt is doing great with all A's in class. He qualified for the Advanced Math class and he's studying the Stock Market in GT. His teacher said his behavior is great. He got a 98% and 99% in his Benchmarks at the end of last year (we reviewed the results with her tonight)! Very Awesome scores!

Taylor:
Tay is in the "technical" class this year and loving it. He has the same teacher as last year, Mrs. Hickman, and she loves him (we love her too!). He has all A's and he got Above Avg on his testing last year. Mrs. Hickman wrote the following excerpt about Taylor:
" Taylor is a great kid who is really feeling more comfortable this year and coming out of his shell. I enjoy his funny personality and his ability to work hard and do his very best."

Noah:
Noah's teacher, Mr. Mueller, said he didn't know exactly what to do with Noah this year. He's so far advanced in every subject, so going to move Noah to the first grade during reading. He's going to try to challenge him in all the other subjects. He said usually when a child is so bright, they are lacking is something else like social skills... but not Noah. Mr. Mueller told us all the kids like him- he's very popular (whatever that means in Kindergarden) and that he's great with all the kids in the class. He said he wanted to ask us for parenting tips (ha!). We told him that's just the way Noah was made!


Lord, Jeff and I are so very grateful for the wonderful boys you've given us to raise. Please give us wisdom to do so. Also, thank you for such great teachers that care about our children... bless them this year!

Taylor Turns 9!

Taylor had 2 boys from school come to his party:  Koby and Cole.  Cole spent the night.  The picture below is the morning after, with all the boys eating waffles.  Jeff took the boys to Fast Lanes for laser tag and video games.  Everyone had a great time!

Sept Group Birthday celebration

On Aunt Cathy's b-day (Sept 26th) we headed out to visit the Davis fam and Gramma who were camping out at the lake. The occasion was a group Birthday celebration for Audrey (Mom), Aunt Cathy, and Taylor.



It was warm but had been cold recently, so the water was NOT so warm. The kids lasted longer than I thought they would!






Then it was time to play in the sand for some:

And time to knit for others:

Then we retreated to the campsite for food and cake. It was a nice relaxing day!
