Spelling Bee

We are so proud of Madeline to be able to compete in the school spelling bee for 4th-6th grades.  She was able to make it 3 rounds.  She got some hard words.  Her first word was fronds.  You don't usually hear that word.  The word that she missed was blatant.  There were 2 in her class that made it to the spelling bee, she and another girl.

Jr. Jazz

Ethan took Jr. Jazz.  He loves basketball at the moment and loves to play it on the wii as well.  He also likes going with his dad to the BYU basketball games.  There are a few pictures of Ashton as well in here.

Gingerbread houses and polar express trains

Today I got to volunteer in my kids classes.  Both of the activites were at the same time, so I had to rush in between to both of them.  I don't get to volunteer as much as I would like having a baby and all, not complaining or anything, but I enjoy the time I do get to spend with them in their classrooms.

Here's Ethan starting to make his polar express train

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch in the area and picked some pumpkins.  The kids were in their costumes.

Autumn Leaves

We drove up the canyon one day and took pictures by some of the leaves that were changing color.
