A Little More Help Please!!

So the other night we were all talking around the dinner table and I was telling the boys that they are going to have to help out around our house a lot more (cause it looks like I am going to get myself a full time job next year) So I am going to need more help out around the house. So ever since then Kode has been asking how to work the washer, the oven (I wont let him run the gas stove top yet. He is still a little young) and he was asking how to use the washer and dryer! Heck yea I will show you! So ever since we have been on Christmas Break I have had him help me with these chores.

Kode loves to cook.

(mostly sweets. he so gets that from me.)

But he will cook what ever you ask him to

Then after he was done making cookies we loaded the dishwasher and he started it!

Then I sent him off to gather up all the dirty cloths from each room and bring them down to the laundry room and he did 2 loads of laundry! (he told me he really doesn't care for the hole folding and putting everything away part but I told him that is part of doing the laundry. You can;t just leave it all in the basket. So that something we are still working on)

He is going to be a great housewife (or what ever it is for a man) someday! Some lady is going to be very appreciative of him!

Once I get Kode trained then it will be Bry's turn.

(hes going to be my little turkey about things like this)

Student of the Month Award!

On the last day of school before the Christmas Break the school had an awards assembly where they awarded a student from each class a metal for student of the month and Bry got that award for the month of January! So when his name was announced at the assembly he got to go up in front of everyone and get his metal from his teacher Mrs. Kalaveras.

(when they return to school in January Bry will get to have cookies and milk with the principal.)(yes they are all wearing their pj's cause it was pajama day!)

and here he is with his award!

and here are both of our boys after the assembly!

Congratulations Bry on being the student of the month! Way to go!!

Thanks to Shawn for going and watching the assembly and taking pictures for me since I could not be there. I appreciate you doing that and the boys love seeing you at their school!!

Goodbye!!

Goodbye Cousin Kimney!!

Here we are eating at one of my favorite restaurants. This is Kim's last night here in Elko with us. Kim had decided that she does not like it here in Elko and is now moving back to Utah.

We wish you the best in everything you do!
