Kindergarten

Guy Starts Kindergarten

Guy already graduated from his preschool at the community center. This summer he also graduated from the Rusty and Rosy on-line preschool program offered through the Waterford Institute. He really learned a lot from this program and I think his participation is the reason why he is already a good reader. He even scored at a second grade level for vocabulary.

Now he is in Kindergarten!

1st Day of Kindergarten

 Guy attends afternoon (half day) kindergarten at Coral Canyon Elementary which is less than a quarter mile from our house. His teacher is Mrs. White who is great, but he still says recess is his favorite part of school. Typical kid.

Sloan started Joy School. Some friends and I take turns hosting school at our houses. She likes having her own school experience and she is good at tracing her letters.

Summer Fun

Summer 2012

The kids learned how to swim. Sloan is very good at treading water.

 

Sloan learned to ride a pedal bike. Jack and I trained for the St. George Marathon. Below is a pic of me on a run near our house. You might be able to see my new nose piercing.

The kids got their faces painted on the 24th of July in Hurricane, UT. Guy wanted a scar with blood and Sloan wanted flowers. I ran my fastest 5k that morning 23:03!

 

 We attended my Dad and Debbie's family reunion in Fort Collins, CO. My brother Brian and his family were unable to attend, but below is everyone else.

Here are all of Dad and Debbie's kids and spouses.

We stayed in a very nice cabin and enjoyed eating smores, playing games, and paddling around the pond.

My brother Dennis and his wife Kaelyn rented these fun carts to race around the campground.
