Handwriting

Kayson has always been fascinated by numbers and letters. We started working on the sounds that letters make a few months ago and I have slowly been teaching him to read. I'm not exactly where he learned to write from, though!

It's so exciting to see the things that he learns and how his handwriting changes so much.

First School Project

This week was Zoo Week at Kayson's preschool. They wanted us to come up with an animal and then create a cage for that animal. Kayson was pretty sure that he wanted a farm animal. (Probably because he was insistent on watching Baby Einstein's "Old Macdonald Had a Farm" five times a week for what seemed like forever.) Anyway, he decided that he wanted to make a cage for a cow.

While I cooked dinner, Kayson and Andrew painted the popsicle sticks. We started out with him finger painting, but he did not want to get paint on his hands. I'm all resourceful and stuff, so I had the idea of using Q-tips to paint with (because I can't find our paintbrushes!). That went so much better!

Kayson helped us out with painting the popsicle sticks, coloring the puddle (for his cow to drink from), and gluing on the grass. After he went to bed, Andrew and I had the task of putting the fence together. Phew, all in a day's work. (We totally had a whole week to do the project, but being the procrastinator that I am, we started on the last day. haha!)

 And here's the finished project!

Kayson was pretty proud of it.

Playing Catch Up!

It's been a long time since I have posted. I have been managing coupon Facebook groups, two Instagram pages, doctor's appointments, running Kayson to school, and it's been crazy! Plus, it was super annoying trying to figure out how to upload pictures from my phone to the blog. That was a simple fix. So here we go! Playing catch up from November to now.

Bette got married in December!

We celebrated Christmas morning at Ma & Pa's house. 

Kayson loved his new trampoline that we got for him!

We celebrated the New Year by taking Kays to get a haircut!

Kayson visited the Phoenix temple for the first time.
