NOVEMBER

FIRST SNOW

First snow of the year. Hopefully it's a good sign and we will have more than last year.

70 YEARS

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa celebrated their 90th birthday and 70th wedding anniversary this year. The whole Bird family celebrated with dinner at Chuckarama. They are a wonderful example of love and family and we are truly thankful for them.

DARE GRADUATION

One of the fun things about 5th grade is the DARE program.

Before the DARE graduation, T and the rest of the 5th graders got to show off their Indian pyramids. T researched the Iroquois tribe and did a great job on his project.

HUNTING FOR TREES

It was a beautiful day for our annual 'Sunday after Thanksgiving' tradition. The weather was perfect- no snow and not that cold. We found the tree quickly. The turkey soup and chocolate donuts were delicious. The kids all took a turn driving the Rhino. The guns were loud and the dogs were crazy. It was a pretty great day. The only downside- T spent the whole time puking his guts out.

Sadly, no pics of T- didn't want to take a picture of him being sick, and he didn't want to do anything else.

Z - #1 - The Oldest

Z is happy to be in junior high. He is enjoying school and all of the fun things that come with it. He doesn't like that the work is more difficult but he is working really hard and doing well. He is still a huge sports fan like his dad and loves to cheer on BYU. His favorite sport is soccer and he enjoys playing throughout the year, both outdoor and indoor. Z likes to spend his free time on the computer on facebook or some other game. He also likes to play video games and watch TV. His newest hobby is taking care of his fish tank. He enjoys going to mutual activites and scouts and he is working hard at earning merit badges. He always has some kind of plan in his mind and almost every day he updates me on his newest idea. The latest plan is that he is going to save up all of his money to buy an ipod. I think he can do it. Every night he tells me "good night" and "I love you". He never forgets- I love that!

T - #2 - The Middle Child

T is such a happy kid. He gets excited easily and loves to be a part of everything. He loves his soccer team and does a great job as their goalie. He loves to go to scouts. He enjoys school and really likes his class and his teacher. He's doing a great job in 4th grade. Of course, video games and TV are still his favorite free time activities, but he also enjoys reading and will often stay up late reading whatever he can find. We are reading the Harry Potter series together now. His favorite foods are pizza, tacos, and hamburgers (with lots of ketchup), and of course he loves chocolate. He likes to be goofy but he is also learning to be responsible. Some days he makes me laugh out loud and every day he makes me smile - I love that!

S - #3 - The Baby

My baby does not like to be called the baby anymore but I just tell him that he'll always be my baby. This kid is such a social child. He loves to play with friends and would every day if he could. He is enjoying 1st grade and has become a great reader. S still deals with food allergies but it doesn't get him down. He has a positive attitude and is always willing to share and help. He is excited to be old enough to be part of team sports and has loved playing soccer and t-ball. He is looking forward to basketball this winter. He loves his big brothers and is happy to follow them or do whatever they are doing. His favorite foods are hamburgers, tacos and poptarts. He likes to color, play games, read and do puzzles. Every day he asks me how my day is going and every day he gives me a hug - I love that!
