Book update and school

Well he never made it through the book he checked out. I went ahead and read the rest of the first chapter to him thinking we'd just read it for a bedtime book. He decided he wasn't as interested in it as he thought he might be.

School has started again. I have 20 kids. Hoping for a good year. Dakota is off to a good start in his room. Just have to get him trained to not yap when he's done w/ his work. That will be our goal this year.

Haven't posted in a while

Mostly have just been updating via FB and Tweeter but found this a worthy brag that needed to be posted here. :)

Lanni bought Dakota "The Dragon's Child." I began reading it to him at night but the other day he took it with us in the car saying he was going to finish it himself. Yanno what?? He did. Three chapters he read on his own. Out of curiosity I got on renlearn to check the book level and it's 4.8! He also surprised me today by asking to check out a book called "The Wizard Test." Usually he only checks out movies. He's determined to read it by himself. Guess we'll see. Just checked it and it's 4.9. Will keep you updated.

Crafty me!

It's been a while...

Here I'd thought I'd post more once we were out of school and I only have 2 posts for June. Well since my last post, Peanut came to stay with me for a week, Koty has been playing T-ball, we did go to Boomtown Days, and Mike and I just spent 4 days in Eureka Springs for our 10th wedding anniversary! Not sure what all is on the agenda for this week but I hope it'll be cooler than last week. May have to take Koty swimming.

Home again

We are back from AR. It was a good visit. Momma, Krispy, and Nutter are coming this weekend to watch Koty play ball then I get to keep Peanut next week while Krispy goes and gets her packing done and gets moved.

Today (and prolly tomorrow) Koty and I are going to Boomtown Days with Sally and the girls. Hope it doesn't start raining on us! Looks nice right now though. I wouldn't mind clouds though just to keep it cool.

Brooke, Dakota, and Raegan at Big Spring Park

I haven't been keeping up with this much lately! We've been too busy running around. Our biggest past time has been visiting the library and playing w/ Sally and the girls. Hoping Big Spring Park pool will open soon so we can take them swimming.

On Monday, Koty and I are going to AR to see the fam there! We are so excited. Should have lots of pics (as long as I remember to take them and don't spend all my time holding Peanut!!!)

Zoo pics

Only posting a few here. The rest that I took are on facebook. Waiting to get some of the good shots that Sally took.
