Kidnapping and Awards

KIDNAPPING!
Connor was initiated this morning at 4:45 AM...he heard me on the phone so he knew what was coming...he has a problem being the center of attention, let alone being humiliated in front of the school. He was up and showered and had set some "booby traps" for his nappers. He put toothpaste on the door knob and light switch and put saran wrap across his door. He also put pillows in his bed to look like him while he hid in the closet!
He was the first one to get napped...everyone else was asleep and in their pajamas...he had a great time waking up everyone else! They all went to breakfast and then back to school. He had to wear the crown all day!

Connor in his crown- it says Vice Pres is you're trying to read it.

3Rd GRADE AWARDS
After sending everyone off to school...Joran, Maren and I headed up to school for the awards assembly. Boston received 16 gold seals and an academic excellence pin. Seals are awarded in different areas like mastery in math, spelling, reading and passing certain grade level challenges.
Go Boston!

He doesn't like pictures...

Here I told him he better smile...Joran, on the other hand is usually all smiles...it was a long assembly!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Boston's awards assembly we came home for lunch and a quick nap. We were then off to the school again...this time for Sierra's awards assembly. She received 16 seals and an outstanding student pin. Her seals were in similar areas and the challenges were 5th grade level. Joran was thrilled to be in these pictures ...the assembly was much shorter!


This is the page with 1 seal...the 3 pages behind are full of the seals.

Sierra also received a certificate from the Utah State Board of Education for excellence in the area of mathematics on the IOWA test. Yeah Sierra!

Stay tuned...the day is not over and we have the Junior High Awards in an hour...I'll try to post those when we get home. It's a busy week ...Kindergarten graduation is tomorrow so check back often!

Math Science Olympiad

Boston, Alex and Caden waiting to start KRYPTO

Waiting for their next hand to be dealt...

About ready to start a round...

next hand...

I think they had a good time...their dealer was really slow, so from the pictures they spent a lot of time waiting and not as much time playing...

Buckets, Buckets, and more Buckets

I have a friend who gets me these buckets for my food storage...she had a huge stack, so one hot afternoon my kids helped wash them out so we could put our food storage in them...

Boston's 9th Birthday

I can't believe Boston is 9 years old...that means we've lived here for 9 years! Amazing how time flies!

Boston wanted pizza for his birthday dinner...

All of us wearing our hats (Cheyenne was babysitting during this picture)

Connor doing what he does so well...clowning around!

Even Stockton got in on this party!

Boston's gifts...wrapped in Spongebob paper-

Two DVD's "Bolt" and "Bedtime Stories"

Boston's new scouting stuff: neckerchief, slide and book.

Boston got a new soccer ball for the new season!

New duds! So handsome!

More new clothes for summer...

Can you tell he loves sports?!

And finally a new set of wheels!

Boston's cake...he wanted a chocolate fudge caramel cake. I made a fudge cake, poked holes in it and then poured chocolate fudge sauce in them. We used caramel frosting and soccer balls to represent our birthday boy. Soccer started the next morning so we thought that fit!

Blowing out the candles!


Boston also got an air soft AK-47 from Grandma and Grandpa Stephens and ammo and safety glasses from Grandpa and Grandma Johnson!
