Another Award

This time it was Ethan's turn to receive an award. I like that they let the kids sit with their families during the assembly. Ethan was enjoying some big brother time with Bryson while he was waiting for his name to be called.

Ethan got an award for excellence in creative writing.

This is what his teacher said.

"Ethan is a well rounded student, and he excels in all academic areas. He has displayed a love and talent of writing. He writes creative stories that we all enjoy."

Helping Out

The boys decided to wash our cars today on their own. They got everything out and got to work.

They really took the job seriously, it was so cute! Ethan even got the stool from the bathroom so he could reach the top of the car.

I know someday they will not be so happy to wash the cars, so for now I will enjoy their help!

1st Tooth

Porter lost his first tooth today. He even pulled it out himself! I think his shirt is very appropriate. :)

Trevor's Open House

We had an open house for Trevor on Sunday. We had a bunch of Swedish food...

...and of course a Swedish flag cake!

Everyone wrote Trevor letters, 

and got to visit with him before he left.

We had a bunch of Swedish flags around the house. 

All of Trevor's nieces and nephews will be a lot bigger when he gets home!!

Since Monday was Veteran's Day were able to stay the night and see Trevor off in the morning. We all lined up on both sides of the long driveway waving our Swedish flags. I wish we had gotten a picture of it, the kids were so cute!! 

The Color Run

My cousin, Travis, invented a little thing called the color run. It has been so fun seeing it grow and become so successful. When it came to San Diego, I knew I had to do it! Ethan saw a video of a race and begged to join me. We took the whole family down Friday night. Saturday morning Ethan and I took the train over to Qualcom stadium and the rest of the boys met us after the race. It was so crazy fun! At the end of the race they have a color toss and a big party.

Here we are after the race.

My brother, Brent, and his family ran with us. I love their after picture!
