Aiden's Lego Scenes

Over the past few weeks, Aiden has been lining up his Legos into different scenes. The bad guys don't stand a chance in our house.

Everyone once in a while the police experience a set-back. Luckily, they always seem to bounce back.

Reid's First Note

Reid wanted to write a note to his teacher tonight. He dictated it to me and I wrote it down. Then he copied it onto a card. He's pretty excited about giving it to her tomorrow.

"Dear Ms. C.,

You are the best teacher ever. Thank you for being our teacher. You are the best teacher to be in this class. 

Love, Reid"

She's one lucky teacher to get a note like this!

Homework Time

Each week the boys bring home a book they read to us and have homework related to the book.

Aiden's book was "Clouds". It was about seeing animals in the clouds. He drew a panda for his homework, as they are currently his favorite animal.

The blue are the clouds and the green is bamboo. Pretty creative.

Reid's book was "Fun With My Friend".

For his homework he drew a picture of himself and Aiden. "I am playing at the park with Aiden."

I love both of these drawings! They are loving kindergarten, adore their teacher, and are learning so much. Fun year!

Ohio - July, 2015

We spent the 4th of July weekend visiting Ohio.

Grandpa Brusven bought another Kettcar to go with the one he already had from when Cousin Jordan was growing up.

Lots of playing with cars, baseball, catching fireflies, and driving the Kettcars.

Jennifer, Shane, and Jordan treated us to a Cincinnati Reds game for the 4th of July. We had a great time!

It was a little after midnight on the 5th when we crossed over into Kentucky, so here's the only digital evidence I have:

Visiting Grandma Brusven:

I had my Aunt Marita's friend paint a plate in Norwegian rosemaling style to commemorate Eric's parents' 50th anniversary. It's hanging in Jean's room and is beautiful.

Home again, home again...

Our plane was delayed because smoke from a Canadian wildfire had reached Denver.
