Gifted & Talented

I thought I would post a quick update on Tyler. As many of you know we had a lot of struggles with him in school in Meridian, with his teacher and his "behavior" and his learning. Well now here in Soda he has a wonderful, awesome, great teacher. I can't say enough about her. He is doing so well, he pays attention, he gets his work done. She still has to remind him not to talk to his neighboors during table time, but he is doing better each day. Then in the IRI's (a big standardized test that all grades take) He got the highest score out of the entire kindergarten ! We were so thrilled and for even better news; drumroll please.......He is being tested for the GIFTED & TALENTED!!!! That is just amazing to me, where his teachers in Meridian didn't know he could read, and just thought he was behind etc. His teacher here thinks he is so smart and learns so well with her that he is excelling so well. FINALLY!!!

I don't even think it has anything to do with being smarter than he was before, I think that it is his teacher tells him he is so smart and that she loves him. So he believes that he can do things, so then he tries hard to please her. Where that definately was not happening in Meridian. The same thing with church, he had 2 church teachers, and they were always telling us how naughty he was, and coming to get us etc. He knew that they didn't like him. So he didn't even try to be good. Well the primary president told me this week that he sits in primary just like an angel, that he is so well behaved, and she said "I just love him." I said "my child, are you sure its Tyler". That was probably rude of me, but all we heard about in Meridian was how horrible he was. So this past week was just so excited for us to see him growing and learning and behaving so well.

So if anything from this move, Tyler is doing great! I am so thankful he is excelling and doing so well. We also found out he's a little ladies man in class. I guess all the little girls follow him around, and always want to sit by him and be his partner! His dad got a big grin out of that one!!

I have had so many cute picture opportunities this week, but I broke my stinking camera! & my stupid computer is broken with the pictures that I got before it broke. So hopefully one day I'll post some pictures. I really wanted to post a picture of Tyler's Gifted & Talented letter, but I'm on Jared's laptop and don't have the scanner plugged in. Maybe one day I'll actually get it on here.

Fun Tag

I normally don't like these tags, but this one is easy and fun

Rules of the tag: Go to your picture file, find the 4th folder and pick the 4th picture in it. Explain a little about the picture. Post. Tag others.




This was my picture in that order. It is of Tyler when he was a few months old with my brother in law Hal, and my nephew Braydon. My sister and I had our babies just a couple months apart, and Tyler and I traveled to Worland to see them. I think that these two boys were excited to have another boy in the house!

Talking about that, I wanted to show a couple more pictures from that day. I love these little pumpkin pictures, they were so cute. And although they look the same age, Tyler was already 3 1/2 months old. We also had them matching ducky blankets that I made and we called them our little Burrito babies. Oh how time flies. Its weird too think that Tyler is now six and Brynlee will be six next week.


I love how he had his arm around her!


I tag everyone who reads my blog, since I don't know who actually does, so this will let me know if you do!!
