School Daze

Say What??  Can't believe we are back into the school year...yes, one of the joys of year-round school is a nice early August start.  I have mixed feelings about this as I had a long bucket list of things I wanted to do this summer (or should I call it a lunch box list- things I want to do before I "kick the lunch box") either way, we did a few of them- mainly camping more this summer.  But, we missed the zoo, the museum, pirate park, etc...  And I love having my kids around me, not having a schedule, and being able to do what we want, when we want.  However, listening to the kids argue this morning helped ease the transition of sending Brayden off to school- ha!

 So, without further ado. Introducing my 2nd grader!
Stats:
Likes- math, soccer, basketball, legos and tv
Dislikes- homework, chores, "wierdo kids" -yes, I think I need to work with him on that last one
Personal Record- staying happy while his mom made him smile for 29 photos

SO jealous they are back to school. Brayden looks DIFFERENT, Megan. I can't believe how quickly they change. I'll have to show Ethan the pictures. He's a handsome guy. I hope he enjoys 2nd grade and those "WIERDO" kids don't freak him out too much. One moved to WA, so that should help ;).

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

You can take the girl out of the country, but....

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
