Student of the Month

Congratulations to Ethan for being the Student of the Month for September!  We're so proud of this sweet, hard worker!

Crazy Hair Day

It's Crazy Hair Day.  Ethan did his own.  He says he's two-faced.  I think Caitlin's a who and Avery's Cyndi Lauper.  Girls just wanna have fun, yo!

Mustache Monday

I'm not usually a big fan of school spirit week, but I can get behind Mustache Monday.  Little effort, big reward.  Avery chose to go with the paper variety this time.

Ward Luau

Our ward just had a super fun and wild Luau!  Unfortunately it happened to be on the weekend that Bryce was out of town, so it ended up being a little bit more on the wild side.  Especially this little imp.  I swear, if there is trouble, she will find it!  She came home sticky and covered with sand, but happy.  Love this girl!

 

The kids were so excited to see that the entertainment would be their Uncle Josh and their cousins!  The kids played together all night.  Ethan has really missed his cousin, Toa, since we moved.

And the girls were so excited to learn the hula.  What a fun party!  But seriously, what am I going to do with this one?  This is just her "Oh, I'm ready to dance" look.  She could have danced for hours.

I'm glad I made it home with all the kids alive and well.  It was some kind of crazy, but they had such a good time.  It's worth it.

Bobcat Bear

Ethan passed off his Bobcat at the beginning of the summer and has been waiting patiently for another pack meeting, so that he could claim his badge.  It finally came and it's official!  Bobcat status achieved!  He's a little wet, because they made the new bobcats bob for apples before getting their badge.  So funny!  Ethan ate almost the whole apple before he got it to come up out of the water!  What a great kid!

Glasses

 Dun, dun, dun....

Well, we knew the time would come.  And soon.  Bryce and I were both in second grade when we got glasses.  So, we knew it was probably time for our third grader to get checked out.  And sure enough....

Dun, dun, dun...

Ethan needed glasses!

Here they are checking out the frames.  Every one of my kids wanted some glasses with their whole hearts.

 

And here is the new and improved Ethan!  He's loving being able to see better and is taking such good care of his glasses.

 

One of the best parts of getting glasses is being able to have them sold and fit by Grandpa Dopp!  We loved to visit him at his store and watch him bend the glasses to the right shape for Ethan.  Thanks Grandpa!
