Dads and Doughnuts

The Kindergartners do a little thing called Dads and Doughnuts.  The Dads get to come to the classroom and the Kindergartners read to them.  Then they get to eat doughnuts!  Peyton was so excited for Montana to go to his class!

Peyton's Christmas Concert

This year, the Kindergartners put on a Christmas Concert for their families. They practiced every day for a few weeks. Peyton would walk around the house singing the songs. He was so excited to perform for us. He did a wonderful job and we are so proud of him!

Peyton's First Field Trip

Peyton's Kindergarten class went on their first field trip yesterday. I was able to go with him! They went to Pumpkinland...just like Mason did when he was in Kindergarten. I was glad I went because I'm afraid that Peyton would have pushed himself too far in the sun.

We took a class picture, went through the corn maze, played at two different playgrounds, went through a light alley, and picked a pumpkin. The kids had a blast and I think Peyton enjoyed the bus ride the most! It was fun to spend time with just Peyton and his friends.

Peyton and I also watched Trent's marching band (Fremont High School) perform at BYU last night. It was so fun to watch him and it brought back lots of memories from my high school marching band years. They did a great job and Peyton might even do it when he gets a little bigger!

Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point

When we went to the Heart Walk in September, we won tickets to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point! Montana was so excited that we actually won something. So, for family night last night, we decided to use our tickets. We have never been to Cornbelly's cause it's the most expensive one around here and we have to drive to Lehi to go. We had such a good time except that we couldn't go into the huge cornmaze because you can't take strollers in it. People have ruined the mazes in years past and now they don't allow them. I didn't know this before hand so we had no way to carry our stuff and the kids. So, we just did the kiddie maze which was fun but not as big!

Sitting in the GINORMOUS rocking chair! (It would make a cute Christmas card picture if Tanner would have been looking!)

These pumpkings were carved into all sorts of things and then they shaped them into a "pumpkin tree".

Playing!!!





The boys got their faces painted...Mason got a ghost and Peyton got a monkey!



Being silly...



Our pumpkins and corn stalks in front of our house. Mason's pumpkins are the bigger orange one and the white one. Peyton's is the little orange one. They picked them out themselves.


Mason got to go on his 1st field trip last week. They went to PumpkinLand in Orem. He had so much fun! Too bad I couldn't go and take pictures...maybe next time. They went through a corn maze and they even got to pick out a pumpkin at the end. Mason's pumpkin got dropped by a little boy in our ward and it split the bottom of the pumpkin. Montana took the blame and we let Mason get another pumpkin when we were at Cornbelly's.

We are working (not very hard) on getting Peyton potty trained. He pretty much understands the whole pooping in the potty thing. When he has to go, he always runs over to me and tells me he has to go in the big potty. Whenever he is waiting for me to put the little seat on the big potty I always say, "Peyton, don't go" so that he waits until he is sitting down. So, the other day, I took him into the bathroom and while he was waiting for me, he said, "Peyton, don't go". It was so cute!!! I just hope that he can figure out the rest soon so I can stop buying him diapers!

One last thing...we went to the HopeKids movie for the month. We saw "Legends of the Guardians". It's the one about the owls. It was really good but a little scary for the kids. Mason didn't hardly touch his popcorn. Peyton kept leaning into me and saying he was scared and then he ended up wandering on our row for about half the movie. By the time we got home that day the boys were exhausted so we made a "bed" in the family room and turned on another movie.


Oh, and here are some pictures of the cousins...it's impossible to get a good one!

You Know It's A Sad Day...

...when your kindergartener doesn't give you a hug before he goes into class. Today Mason was running around on the playground with his friends when the bell rang. He promptly ran into class and ignored my hollaring after him! I guess I can't complain that he loves kindergarten so much that he will run right into class.

Here's the video of Mason telling us about his first day of Kindergarten.


Here's a video of Tanner laughing!


And some pictures for fun! Montana and I went on a motorcycle ride so we had to get a picture.


The boys at Nanny McPhee Returns (Awesome movie...Thanks HopeKids!)

More Kindergarten Updates

So, Mason finished his first day of Kindergarten...and he LOVED it! And he wanted to tell everybody about his first day so we video taped it. Peyton was so excited when we went to pick Mason up. He sure did miss him today. He kept asking if it was time to go get Mason and he would bring me my shoes. I think he might have a harder time adjusting than Mason will! Enjoy the video and pictures!

The video is having trouble posting so I will try to get it loaded later!
