Way to go Kadee!

Kadence got the first Kudos Club award from the school yesterday for being an example to her peers and for working hard in school.  I'm super proud of her and had to share the award from Facebook before I couldn't find it.





"Wellington Elementary: KUDOS CLUB 09/15/16.
These students have demonstrated a positive effort academically or with their behavior over the past few weeks. We expect to see lots of AWESOME WARRIORS being recognized weekly in the KUDOS CLUB. FYI- This will be a recognition on Wednesdays. Not every class or every grade will have someone in the Kudos Club each week. So keep checking back."

This past weekend my mom took my girls and I to St. George to see Lorla and to watch Beauty and the Beast at the Tuacahn.  Jessica and her daughter, Liz met us at Lorla's for a delicious Beauty and the Beast themed dinner.   After dinner we headed to the Tuacahn for the show.  It was a really great show and the girls loved it.  After the show we stayed and met some of the cast members, so by the time we got home it was almost midnight, we were exhausted.  The next day Lorla made us pancakes and we spent all day in her pool, I literally had to drag the girls out when it got dark.  It was so nice visiting with Lorla and Jessica and I'm so glad Kadee and Liz have become such good friends.  It was a great weekend that went by way too fast!
 
 
















Today Kadee had her tin can cookout.  She made French Toast and eggs and was in a group with Breanna and Kashley.  Her food turned out delicious and I'm glad I got to be there with her.

Preschool!

FINALLY all the kids are in school!  Matthew started preschool on Tuesday and was so excited until he got there and realized he's the only boy in the class.  Today was a fight to get him to stay, he wants a friend that's a boy!  When it was time to pick him up he was ready to go to grandma's house.  I hope he finds a friend soon!

This past Labor Day Weekend we went with Derk and Debbie, Kyle and Candee and kids, and Valyssa camping up Ferron Reservoir.  The kids had a great time.  Kyle has a little fishing boat so they were able to take it out on the reservoir and catch several fish to fry.  The kids rode four wheelers, played in a stream, played cards and football, built a fort out of trees, and of course spent lots of time fishing on the boat.  They were so sad to come home (Kadee kept saying, "I wish we could stay longer or start the weekend over.") and it was a harsh realization that summer is over and Fall will be here before we know it.  

Kindergarbage

My little miss Kinlee started "Kindergarbage" (as she likes to call it) yesterday.  She had herself so worried in the morning she was throwing up, but once she got there she was very excited.  Her favorite part was the treasure hunt around the school; they went to the lunchroom, library, gym, and office to look for their lost treasure, luckily they found it in the principals office and each of them got a book to take home.  They also each got a treasure chest and were able to make pirate hats to wear throughout the day.  Today Kinlee got to take snack and also cupcakes for her birthday.  She got to sit in the special birthday seat and the class sang to her.  I had lunch with her and she was still a little anxious, but was happy for lunch.  I think once she gets adjusted she will love going to school, I'm a little surprised it's been so hard for her, she had preschool there and was always up there with me doing PTA and attendance stuff, I guess the adjustment of all day school has just been a little overwhelming.
