Reading Reba

This week was the second week for Reba to bring home her "Book in a Bag" homework.  The bag contains beginning reader level books for the kiddos to practice their reading at home.  Last week, the book was super simple for her (The only words were: The mouse can.  The monkey can. {Repeat}).  This week was a bit more of a challenge, but still pretty easy for her.  Make sure your volume is turned up high, because she reads pretty softly.
Until next time...

Proud Parent Moment

Doug and I are busting at the seams today with pride.

Dallas' class was in charge of Mass this morning (students are chosen to do the readings, petitions, and bring up the gifts), and Dallas was chosen to read the petitions!  Thankfully, Daddy was able to go into work a little late, so we were all able to attend church together.  Enjoy, and share in this joyful experience with us!
Until next time...

Story Time with Reba

Sorry it is a little shaky at the beginning, but I just had to share.
Dallas had brought home this book from the library on a Wednesday, and I recorded this on the following Friday.  Needless to say, Reba loves the story!

Until next time...

Book-It Pizza

Who remembers doing the Book-It program in elementary school?  Yep, Doug and I have our hands in the air, too.  Dallas' class started turning in their "reports" at the beginning of October.  He has to complete 4 reports in the month in order to earn a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.  We are pleased to announce that he met the goal; so last week, we headed out for pizza!
He was so proud of himself!  He only ate one slice that night, but brought the rest home for left overs.  Now, he can't wait to get started on this months goal!

Until next time...

Dallas' Big Indiana Adventure ~ Part 2

Dallas made his way to Ma-maw and Pa-paw Robertson's house on July 23rd. He went to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game that night.
One day Dallas was able to help Ma-maw make her famous yeast rolls. He now loves to help in the kitchen!
Of course, he was able to get some valuable reading time in during the day.
I'm guessing that he was waiting on Pa-paw to get home in the big truck!
They spent many evenings at the Jackson County fair. Dallas loved all the tractor displays, the rabbit and chicken barns, and watching Aunt Lisa get the sheep ready for the show.
Dallas kept himself busy during the show by playing in the sawdust with his truck and bobcat, as well as pushing his stroller. By the end of the evening, he was incharge of holding all the ribbons Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa won (including the supreme ram banner!).
I think it is safe to say - he had a fun-filled, jammed-packed week!
Until next time...

Dallas' Big Indiana Adventure ~ Part 1

Dallas left on July 13th for his big summer vacation in Indiana. He stayed at Gram and Pa Bergman's until July 23rd; I thought I would share some of the memories with you.

I have heard that the weather was pretty "warm" in Indiana during the month of July...in order to beat the heat, Dallas found the water hose a tub to fill!
It looks like Gram gave Dallas a few chores around the house.
"Please, no more pictures"
Gram, Pa, and Aunt Josie took Dallas to Renyolds Farm Equipment one afternoon. I think he enjoyed climbing on all the tractors!
Dallas also got to visit Aunt Josie's apartment and check out the playground there.
On another day, they went to a car show...check out a few of the cool rides Dallas wanted to bring home.
I was glad to see this picture of Dallas getting a little bit of reading into his vacation
No trip to Pa's would be complete without getting the lawn mower and pedal tractor out!
"I'm singing in the rain...just singing in the rain...what a glorious feeling..."
I think it is fair to say he had a good stay at Gram and Pa Bergman's
Until next time...

Quiet Time

These little darlings are currently napping :)
Therefore, I'll do a quick blog post!

When Gram and Grandpa Bergman came this past weekend, they brought along a lot of goodies from Dallas' second cousin Aden. There were so many new things to chose from, but he took a quick liking to the horse (it even plays the theme from the Lone Ranger).
Dallas found a new spot to read (the matress is pulled out on the sofa and he has his little hind-end wedged in there)
This is Dallas' latest trick - opening the fridge on his own. I caught him one day rearranging the condiments.
Until next time...

Dallas has found the joy of reading magazines and newspapers while staying at Grandma and Grandpa Robertson's. I was able to catch this little video and picture.

Until next time...
