Way behind and being lazy....

 I am way behind on blogging and refuse to do 13 seperate posts so these are some of our happenings.  Many are very very old but things I want to remember.  Brian let the girls paint his toenails (or toes).  He only did this because he was leaving for a week to go hunting and felt bad he would not see them.  He forgot to remove it when he left and said he smiled every time he saw it while hunting.  Needless to say it came off when he got home. 

 Halle bug started preschool.  She loves it.  She is so dang smart.  She is making new friends and loving her teachers.  This is her first day of preschool.

 Gid played soccer again this year and was awesome.  He was a lot more aggressive this year and had a lot more fun.  Lots of his buddies were on the team and he just had a great time.

 Our school does a track run every year and family and friends can pledge so much money for each lap the kids run.  Gid ran 14 laps or 3 1/2 miles.  He loved it.  He is so much like his dad and just loves anything to do with being outside.  This is him running with his buddy Gavin.

 Gracie did 12 laps or 3 miles.  I was way impressed since she is not much of a runner.  Plus she came home and said she did not feel well and ended up with the flu a few hours later.  She ran with her bff addi.

 Grace and Gid got to do the walk of fame.  The school does this every two weeks.  The kids have to have 50 AR points to walk in it.  Gid, Grace and Michael were the very first kids to walk for Mrs. Morrison's class this year.  You can't see Gid very well but he is there. 

 My later attempt so I could see both of the kids.  They are GREAT readers.  At the first of the year they took a test and were reading at a 2nd grade 6 month level.  They are even better now and Gracie has been reading 4th grade level books.  Pretty impressive I think.  They did another test where they had to read words and see how many words they are reading in 1 minute.  Gid read 95 words with 1 error.  Grace read 154 words with 0 errors.  I am so proud of them but they do have an AWESOME teacher.  We were so lucky to have gotten her.

 Halle and a few of the words she was writing 2 months ago.  Pretty good for a kid in preschool.

 My handsome man playing goalie (his fav).

 Darling Hoger dressed himself in Gid's fireman costume.  love the jacket tucked in and crossed straps.  Sure miss this kiddo.

 Best buddies. 

 Gracie's favorite things, holding Reddick and reading.  She just LOVES babies.

 Gid as Geannie

 Grace, Harley and bug.

Something Halle does to entertain herself.  Pretty awesome I say.
