Animal Oral Report

Today Caden gave his first oral report.  He did an amazing job.  He worked hard for a full week preparing - picking an animal, drawing a picture of it, checking out library books on the topic, selecting five facts to share, writing his facts, and memorizing his presentation.  I am so proud of how diligent he was to work on the project a little each day.  His preparation was evident when he gave his presentation and was able to answer two of the three questions his classmates asked afterwards ("why are they black and white" stumped him, but he knew "why do they jump out of the water" and "do they live in Bear Lake too?").  The poster reads: "This is a report about whales.  They blow out water.  They live in the ocean.  They eat fish.  Blue Whales are the biggest.  They have tiny teeth."

Sheepdog Festival

Grandma and Grandpa Dodds came down to take the boys to the Sheepdog Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Aunt Kellie and I tagged along.  The boys had a blast and everyone enjoyed the outing.  The highlight for the boys was the pony ride, although the sheepdog demonstration was fascinating as well.  Check out those smiles!

Here comes another!

We are so excited to be welcoming baby BOY #4 to our home sometime in early September.  We got a sneak peak ultra sound at 16 weeks and were told the gender then, but I've waited to post until now when I would hopefully have a better ultra sound picture.  Turns out Kyle got a hold of the pictures and creased them, so sorry about the poor quality.  I still think he has a handsome profile!

Breakfast of Champion

This morning as I was getting ready Kyle was quietly eating his breakfast.  When I went to check on him this is what I found - a half eaten breakfast and 8 mashed up cupcakes.  It appeared he was having more fun taking off the wrappers and crumbling them up, so I don't think he got too much of a sugar rush.
