First Day of School 2011

The first day this year was C.R.A.Z.Y. They change our school's start time to 7:50am. Everyone was a little tired but we not only survived, but we made it ON TIME! :)

Logan 4th Grade:

Logan is so excited to be a big 4th grader! It makes Mom a little sad, he's just that much closer to being out of Elementary school! Logan's teacher from last year, Mrs. Pietranton, was moved up to the 4th grade and Logan is lucky enough to have her again! He was SO excited when he opened his envelope and saw that she was going to be his teacher again!

Kody 2nd Grade:

Kody was really nervous this year! After Logan found out he had his same teacher Kody got really excited and said that he hoped that he would have Mrs. Elmore again (Kody LOVED Mrs. Elmore. I think he might have had a little crush on her...) He kept asking if I could home-school him! Once he met Mrs. Mortimer he calmed down a little bit. She seems super nice and so far he is loving her! :)

Our house seem super quiet without the boys home all day! Lucie thinks that we should have girl's days and "girl parties" every day! :)

First Day of School!

Monday was Logan and Kody's first day of school! Summer went by WAY too fast! Both of their teachers seem REALLY nice! I am hoping this is the start of an AWESOME school year! Lucie was so excited when she found out Kody would be at school ALL day, when I asked her why she was so excited she said, "Because now we can watch girl shows ALL DAY LONG!"





My computer is being dumb so I'll have to add more pictures later!

Logan's Baptism

Logan was baptized May 1, 2010! He has been waiting, and waiting to turn 8. Last year he asked if he could skip being 7 and just turn 8! We are so greatful for our awesome families, most traveled SO far to be with Logan on his special day! I wish I would have gotten more pictures of the whole weekend!

The whole family

Thanks Aunt Hanna!

Logan's new scriptures!

Let's Go Fly A Kite....

One of the "perks" of being a Hayes Hero in Kody's class is getting to pick out of the treasure box. Kody picked out an Iron Man kite (which ended up being 2 Iron Man kites). Since it was Monday and it also happened to be windy we decided to take the kids to a nearby park a fly Kody's kites. We had so much fun! Now every time we have a windy (or breezy day Logan and Kody ask if we can go to the park and fly the kites again!)

I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up!

Logan's Birthday

April 24th was Logan's 7th birthday! Where has the time gone? I can't believe that my little boy is getting so old!

Logan was so excited for his birthday! I woke him up early and Owen came and took him to Denny's for a surprise birthday breakfast! Logan was SOOOO excited to go out with just him and Owen (Logan wants to do everything my brothers do, he will hear a youth dance announced at church and say "I'm going with Owen and his friends to the dance." or "I am going to do _____ just like Tanner!").

Logan has been asking me all year to come and eat lunch with him at school...so I brought him Subway (one of his favorites) and cupcakes for his class. I also got to play with him at recess! :)

That evening we headed to Olive Garden, the kids thought it was wonderful!

After dinner the waitresses sang Happy Birthday to Logan, the whole restaurant clapped along...he was VERY surprised, and embarrassed, the look on his face was priceless! On the way home he told us that it was "SO cool".

"Where's the exit?"

We got home and opened presents and sang to him again!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Star of the Week

Logan came home from school VERY excited on Friday! He was chosen to be his class's "Star of the Week". He brought home a poster that he decorated all about himself. His teacher will hang it up in their classroom for the whole week and on Friday he will get to bring in something for "show and tell". He has been waiting all year to be chosen! He was so excited to go to school this morning!

All weekend he kept collecting things for his poster, like Go Gurt wrappers "Because they're my favorite snack" and pictures of Jeeps cut out of Grandpa's Jeep magazines because "I love my Grandpa's Jeep!". I had a hard time convincing him that he couldn't put EVERYTHING on his poster, just a few special things!

Logan's Pod Performance

On the 30th Logan had a "Pod Performance". At our elementary school the classrooms are set up in "pods" Kindergarten through 5 grade in each "pod" (there are several pods in the school). Each Pod has a performance throughout the year. The theme for Logan's pod was Latin American. Each grade study a different Latin American country, the 1st graders studied Brazil. All the kids sang songs from their countries and told fun facts...they all did such a good job!!! As you can tell from the pictures, Logan did NOT want me to take anymore pictures, he stood there, but would smile!

Logan at the performance!





Kody and Lucie waiting for the performance to start!
Of course I couldn't get them to smile at the same time!




Logan's Pod also had a Fiesta the day before their performance, families were invited, Kody thought that it was way fun to eat lunch with Logan at school! Logan LOVED showing us his desk and all of the fun things in his classroom. Logan's teacher also had a coloring page for the kids...Kody thought it was so cool that he got to do "school work" with Logan!

I Hope They Call Me On A Mission...

After re-reading our last post I felt REALLY bad that there were no pictures of Logan, so this post is ALL about him! He was also looking at blog backgrounds with me and he saw this one and wanted it...we just saw the "Bee Movie" yesturday, I think that's why it stuck out to him! I love you Logan!

Last Sunday while walking the halls with Lucie during Sunday School, I saw a member of our bishopric coming out of the Primary Room. He came right up to me and told me this story...

The Sharing Time lesson was on missionary work and serving missions. Sister Wardle was asking the kids questions about missions and where they would like to serve a mission. Logan raised his hand and Sister Wardle asked him if he would like to serve a mission too. He said "Yes" then she asked him where he would like to go, Logan thought for a minute and then said, "Disneyland".

Missing Teeth and 3 Cute Kids!

We had a pretty good weekend...we missed being able to go to the "Rex Family Camp". We hope they all had a GREAT time! Logan lost his two front teeth, I think he looks way cute with out them. The rest of the pictures are of our cute kids!

Logan's Kindergarten Graduation

Today Logan gratuated from kindergarten! I can't believe it! This year went by way too fast! Logan was very excited for today, he kept asking me who all was coming...we weren't sure if Jared was going to make it...you should have seen Logan's face when he saw Jared there! The multi-purpose room was kind of dark, the only lights on were pointed at the kids on the stage so our picutres didn't turn out very good, there was a ton of people there, so that also made it hard to get a good picture. There were 4 kindergarten classes (each with 25 to 30 kids) that sang songs. Each of the kids got to tell what their favortie part of kindergarten was, Logan said "What I liked about Kinderagrten was learning, playing outside, and play with the toys". He did such a good job! He didn't act nervous or anything! He stood very still, said his part and then passed the microphone on to the next kid! He has grown so much this year! We love you Logan and are so proud of you!

Below are some pictures of Logan's special day! Grandma MacKay brought over some ice cream left over from her ward's Enrichment night so we got to have a little celebration after graduation! Thanks Grandma!
