Tyler had the district spelling bee last we and sure enough he did it again, 2nd place. This spelling bee was for 4th-8th graders. Tyler is only in 3rd grade, but was allowed to participate. He was amazing. He was given a list of about 500 words to study before hand. Once they were down to the last three students they started pulling words from a list that the students had never seen. Tyler did great. the first place winner was a 7th grader who also won last year. I have no doubt that by 7th grade Tyler will be winning them also. Great job Tyler. I am going to have him start proof reading for me from now on.
Well it seems like forever since I have talked to some of you so I thought that I would fill you in on the latest (nothing to exciting). Things have been going great for us up here. Mitch is working hard at school and is already getting ready to kick off his soccer season this summer. He just finished helping out with basketball at the high school and is currently teaching a night class one night a week. I have been busy with young women's, the kids, PTA, and everything else. Tyler is really having fun 3rd grade and as always can't get his hands on enough books to read (any suggestions). He is playing piano and enjoying scouts. Hanna is really into gymnastics right now and can't wait for the weather to warm up so that she can go out and practice on the trampoline again. She is also playing the piano and singing in a performance group called Tavaci. Makayla is about to turn 6 and doing really well in kindergarten. She is also enjoying gymnastics, dance and Tavaci with her sister. She was just the star of the week at school and it was fun to go in and tell her class all about her interests and talents. Dallin is a busy little boy who has decided to act like a 5 year old. He wants to do everything that the big kids can do (including talking back and yelling). Today he was cutting out a picture that he colored and about a half and hour later I realized that there was a slit across the front of his shirt. I asked him about it and he said that it was an accident (I don't know about that). We are so excited about spring coming and the warm weather that follows. We hope to get up to the mountain a few more times for skiing. Makayla wants to go skiing for her b-day which makes for an easy party so we'll see. We have some fun activities coming up and special days. We will be sure to let you know all about them (about a month late :-).
I love it when my kids are all getting along. Nothing like being lazy on a Sunday morning. Ahhhh....
Mitch celebrated his 31st birthday last week. My how time flies. We celebrated all weekend long. The girls had Friday off of school so we surprised him with lunch and balloons at his classroom. Then we went out to dinner as a family to celebrate and on his actual birthday Mitch and I were able to go skiing with some friends for the day. What a blast. Skiing without the kids is so much more relaxing. We had a great day and were even surprised with cake at the bottom of one of the lifts. Thanks Lisa. After skiing we came home to more surprises. My wonderful sister and mother watched the kids for the day and made adorable penguin cupcakes for dessert. I am so grateful to have Mitch in my life. He is an amazing husband and father, and he even does the dishes. I love you Mitch, Happy Birthday!! Hope it was a good one.
