Figuring out the Blog

Heather came and stayed with me while "the boys" were out of town. Among other things, she taught me how to better use my blog. Apparently I had posted most of my stuff through the Layout menu, but I should have been using the Posting tab. I have now made some adjustments, but that means that the next few posts are nothing new, just done in the correct format! Thanks Heather.

Bron

Bronson is amazing. Before he was 4-years-old he could read full sentences, and now can read just about anything you put in front of him. He still has one more year of preschool before kindergarten. I don't know what his teachers are going to do with him.

With my other children I have been able to "convince" them to see things my way. Bronson is not like this. He knows what he wants and there is no way to change his mind. I think he is so smart he can see past my "convincing". Anyway, it definitely makes things more difficult.

I won't complain though. He is darling, full of energy, can play and read by himself for hours and is a joy (most of the time). He says, "I love you" all the time and often says, "I adore you."

Mike

Mike is our extremely energetic 8 year old. He lost his two front teeth in December and still hasn't had his new ones come in yet! This year Mike was baptized by his Dad in February. Dad took him to Petco and bought him a white bird - much to Mom's surprise. I have to say I wasn't thrilled at first, but have grown to enjoy the birds (Matt got a green one for his birthday).

Mike loves to be silly and play with friends. He is our family comedian. He also is earning money for his own motorcycle (although Dad couldn't wait until the end of the summer so Mike got his now). You should see Mike pushing the lawn mower. It's about as tall as him, but he does a great job.

This year Mike was accepted into the Spectrum program for elementary school. This means he will be going to the same school as Matt this September. It will be so nice to only be part of one PTA and only be driving for one carpool.

Matt

I can't believe I have a 10 year old. Matt is getting so big. He will be in 5th grade this year. During the summer Matt works hard with Loren mowing many lawns. Last year he earned enough money to buy himself (with some help from Dad) his own motorcycle.

Matt has a great singing voice. Last year he had one of the leads in Bye, Bye Birdie and this year he was one of the Wickersham Brothers in Suessical the Musical. He got to wear his own microphone and sang a solo. He's quite a performer.

I love this last picture of Matt. I think he looks so handsome. This was for a class program about "Prominent People in Utah."
