Kaiden's book

Kaiden decided he wanted to write his own book.  We started his book, ran some errands which included a stop at the park to play while Connor read his book in the car.  Connor is a reading maniac now!  He loves to read.  It's amazing how much the tutor helped him.. and continues to help him improve.

 Aliens are not real. I have a book about aliens.  Aliens are green.  Zombies are not real.

 Wet wipes can not be green.  We laughed about this one.  A very important lesson- wet wipes can not be green.

 Our families favorite past time lately- chess.  Kaiden is amazingly good!  Connor is extremely good.  He plays chess with his friend Tien at school when they have indoor recess.

 I have been working a lot of extra shifts.  I normally work 3pm-11:30pm, but I've been staying until 3:30am to pick up an extra 4 hours.  Then go to bed at 4:30am and go back to work again at 3:00pm.  It's rough, but extra money for vacation is nice.  I woke up to find Jason had torn my car apart.  For Christmas this year he got me a touch screen stereo and back up camera.  I originally didn't want them, but since we plan on giving this car to Connor in a few years it would be nice to have the back up camera and navigation for him to use.  Anyway, Jason installed the stereo today before I got up and the camera the following day before I got up.

Monster Jam

Monster Truck show!  Kaiden loves the monster trucks.  Kaiden's favorite is Megaldon (shark).  Connor's favorite was Grave Digger.  Mine was Earth Shaker.

school pictures

Connor's 5th grade school and class pictures.  He had to do picture re-takes because he forgot to take his jacket off for the original pictures.  Fragomeni's class.
Kaiden's kindergarten school and class pictures.  Musselwhite's class.

 

hockey

We met Paul, Stephani and Paul's brother for a hockey game.  But first we went out to dinner.  The spot we planned on going ended up being overbooked... our second choice was also full, but then we found this lobster sandwich place.  Odd factory type setting, but food was okay.

Dillon's birthday party

Kaiden was invited to his friend, Dillon's birthday party.  Dillon is in Kaiden's class at school.  The week prior Connor went to his bud, Nate's birthday party.

Ski

Jason and I took the day to go Skiing at Mt. Spokane while the boys were at school.  We met our friends, Paul and Brian up there.
