Person Family

hello everyone
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving. We did our normal, dinner at Erik's family in the early afternoon and then dinner with my family in the evening. We were pretty stuffed after all that food. The kids had fun. Sean was upset the day after thanksgiving because his girl friend broke up with him but he is doing fine now and flirting with other girls.

We have been busy with the kids conferences, and getting ready for Christmas, plus the usual everyday activities. All the kids are doing well in school. Sean getting all A's still, He needs to get more sleep though sot hat he does not fall asleep in class. Kaelyn is doing everything that she needs to do. Jake needs to work on his reading but the little man is so smart. He had an assignment to do in class Filling out a 100's chart. and he still gets mixed up on writing numbers so he remembered that there was a banner on the wall with all the numbers on them and took his paper over to the table closest to the wall and started frantically writing down the numbers. His teacher thought that the other kids were going to notice him and figure it out as well but they were busy working and did not notice him. She thought that was very smart of him to figure that out. Jessie is doing great. she loves to read her wall words and is very good at memorizing them. she has a hard time sounding out words still but we are working on it very hard and she is very determined to catch up to Jake. Her teacher said that she is very strong in math. However she is having a hard time making friends at school, so we are going to work on some play dates for her.


Kaelyn had a big week She got her Braces off and retainers in on Thursday and had her last meet of the season. The Women's Junior Olympic State Championships for level 5. She was awesome. There were 20 in her age group. She got an 8.85 on Vault and came in 4th place, 9.00 on Bars and came in 9th place, 9.125 on Beam and came in 6th place, 9.250 on floor and came in 2nd place, and 36.225 all around and came in 3rd place. pictures and videos to come as soon as I get them on the computer.

Jakob had scouting for food and a trip to the fire station this weekend. Scouting for food the girls tagged along and helped and between the 4 kids that we had there they got it the neighborhood done in about 30 min. We had one lady that was really embarrassed though and the kids thought it was really funny. Sean's troop passed out the bags during the week and Jake's pack had to go and pick up the bags filled with food. They were just suppose to put out the plastic bags on their front porch. Well there was one house that had a plastic bag out but it was not filled with canned food. it was filled with doggy mess, and of coarse boys being boys had to take their turn looking in the bag. Well we left that house laughing and but the other dad that was with us did not see us go to that house and thought that we missed a bag so he went running up and had to look in the bag as well. at that point the lady came running out of the house to pick it up and then came back with a garbage bag filled with canned food. and we all had another laugh. On Sunday grandpa took Jake and Jessie to the Fire House trip. I am not sure if they got any pictures but I guess we were the only family that showed up to that trip but Jake did not care, he had a blast.
