Rett had his friend birthday party at the new bouncy house place down the street from us. It was so simple! We just showed up with food and balloons and the kids ran around having the time of their lives.
Present time!
The morning of Rett's actual birthday I let him open his gift from our primary presidency (they send it in the mail).
Rett really wanted me to "put up the noodles", so Anthony made sure to put the streamers up the night before his birthday.
He wore his birthday crown all day at school! Every once in awhile he would take it off because it was "too sweaty".
Birthday kids get to a free trip to the treasure box! Rett chose a Pokemon card of course.
Rett wanted donuts as his birthday treat for his class. It was hard to wait all day in order to eat them right before recess, but anything else would have been too mean to his teacher :)
Another boy in his class has the same birthday, so they got to be birthday buddies!
After school we had a few more presents for Rett to open. First was a treasureX for both boys (which is so messy I had them work on it outside).
Making a wish on defrosted "Anthony's last day at work" cake. Winning!!!
Some friends had to rehome their adorable 4 month old kittens, so of course we said we would take them in. We are loving having them (except when they pee where they aren't supposed to!!!)
Checking out the turkeys and the chickens walking by:
They are so curious!! They also love to eat people food, which is so different from our other cat. They come right up to your food and see if it is good.
They also love to come and sit on your chest. Or face.
Anthony has taken up hunting and shot his very first deer! This was just in the pasture behind our house, so Anthony texted me to come help him carry it back to the house. The boys wanted to say a prayer first to thank Heavenly Father for the deer's life that we could have food.
My boy showing off his neat coloring and how improved his handwriting is getting:
The school had their annual aviation day! I happened to be substituting for Rett's class in the morning so I got to be with them for all the festivities. They loved watching the helicopters land and the planes fly over, but waiting in line in the sun for over an hour to take pictures with the different aviators did not go well. They were begging me to go back inside and half of them were crying or starting fights. Craziness!
This was James's class, they were in a different part of the field.
Aviation day also happened to be cub scout recruiting day where cub scouts could wear their uniforms to school. This is James and Owen who are both in the same cub scout den and they are both in the same class this year! James loooooved wearing his uniform, he went out of his way to help all his teachers all day. When they would tell him thank you, he would respond "It's a cub scout's honor!" Love this boy, he thought of that all by himself!
Me and the kindergartners. Ready. to. be. done.
Anthony turned 41! We celebrated with a sushi dinner and presents the boys and I picked out at the store right after school: a new camo shirt for hunting and some candy.
James and Rett are really into pokemon right now. They love to bring their cards to school and trade them in the morning before class starts or during aftercare while they are waiting for me to pick them up. I get to hear so much about what each one does and how one is more powerful than the other... :)
