School Begins 2011

 Ok I will update everyone a little on each of the children.  Collin is starting 8th grade..middle grade of three at his school..Orion Jr. High.  His most favorite class is Orchestra in which he plays the violin.  He really loves it.  Maybe he will be a music teacher someday?  He is settling in very well and is staying organized so far.  I am very proud of the progress he has made since last year.  Huge improvements here!!  He is also really looking forward to the school musical in the Spring.  He can't wait to try out :)

 Hannah is starting 5th grade and is getting so grown up!  She is getting her own sense of style :)  I am glad she still lets me do her hair but I am sure it's coming to an end soon.  She is really into singing and joined the school choir this morning.  It is a before school choir twice a week.  They will be singing at Weber High "Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat" in November.  Also, watch for her to sing in the children's choir on Saturday General Conference afternoon session.  Exciting times!

 Simon is starting 2nd grade and loves school.  He is missing his two front teeth and loves to take a peanut butter sandwich to school almost every day.  He is a great reader but I still can't find any chapter books that he loves.  I will keep searching.  My kids are picky book readers :(  Simon will turn 8 in a few weeks and has already started attending scouts on Wednesdays.

Our little Quinny started preschool today.  I feel so sad!  I can't believe it.  He is growing up.  I think the teacher was a little mad at me for forgetting his school issued book bag...I forgot and sent this little backpack.  Oh well.  This is one strict preschool but I chose it because we can walk the 2.5 blocks.  Quinn is very independent and adventurous.  He loves to play with all the kids in the neighborhood.
