Ivan's Education



Well we did it. We had our first year of "official" school. I loved every minute of it. There is just something about the school setting that I really enjoy. It was so fun to see Ivan in it. I loved his teacher and loved helping out in class and loved taking him and picking him up and just loved anything I could do over there. 

We also loved watching Ivan grow. We weren't really sure how he was going to do this year, since he's a pretty reserved/home body kid. He did great. We are so proud of all the ways you have grown this year Ivan. 
Congratulations!
  

There are 15 little boys in our neighborhood Ivan's age. Not all of them go to the same school, but 9 of them graduated with Ivan in the AM session.  (missing Eli and Corbin)


  

Just a few randoms….
 Threw this one in there so I can remember the one time I was crafty. I could't believe myself as I actually homemade something for his teacher and student teacher. They turned out cute.


We got to go over and change out their reading books every Thursday. Emery was a pain in my rear. She wouldn't let me carry her down the hall and so it took forever just to reach his class to pick up the books. 

Fun run


We love to ride our bikes to school. Did it as often as we could
Next year- full day.

Forming healthy habits



So Iv'e been working out pretty consistent for about eh past year now and I can't figure out why I haven't lost weight. Perhaps even gained???? Hmmmmm?


Oh man smiths has a brand of ice cream called Private selection and it is so good. We like the sea salt caramel or the bear claw. OR we like a big fat chocolate dunford donut! And this is all at about 10:00 at night.
