Heather Turns 40

Heather turned 40 in 2011.  She had her favorite meal, Ham and German Potato Salad.  She also had her lemon glaze cake.  It was wonderful.  Her parents, sister and sister-in-law got her some nice pieces of jewelry to make it special.

Pete the Cat


 December was the month Reed was able to bring home Pete the Cat.  Pete was a BIG deal in his Kindergarten class.  The teacher read to the story about Pete and his shoes.  The kids sang and made a video about Pete.  They were able to read to Pete if they were good.  He was a great reward for them.  Each child was also able to bring Pete home and do things with him.  They had to document their time with Pete in a journal to share with the class.  Reed was so excited when it was his turn.  He made cookies with Pete.

 He pretended to nap with Pete.
 
 He made Lego ships with Pete.
 

We even read the story while he was at our house.  Reed had a blast spending time with Pete and taking pictures to show his class.  Nice assignment, Mrs. Harrold, it is a great way to get kids excited about reading.

Grandparents Day in Kindergarten


Reed is a very lucky young man.  He had all of his grandparents at school that day.  His uncle Scot even brought his cousins Cooper and Bella.  I think Reed was the luckiest boy in Kindergarten if not the whole school.  The grandparents got a chance to dance with Reed and participate in some of the things he had learned in Music class.  Then they were able to create a turkey in the classroom, play games and have snacks.  Heather was also at school to help out. 

 
Reed had so many people come for him that he was able to share with some friends that didn't have family available to come to school that day.

Bowling in November

 
We went bowling for cousin Dru's birthday.  Reed was interested in the air vent on the ball return as well as the vending machine.  He wondered why Dad never has money or change in his pocket. 

 
 Reed and Leo had a good time.  It was fun to watch them play.
 
 
Happy Birthday Dru!  (she turned 4 in November 2011)
