Well, I finally got a chance to get on the computer. Brett's been pretty busy with his classes and was out of town with the laptop for a week, so I'm finally getting a chance to update our blog. We've been pretty busy with everything. We had our first parent-teacher conference with Mekayla's teacher last week and it was so fun to see how much she is excelling. She had to take a math test the beginning of the year and the average is 9-10% and Mekayla got a 72%!! We are so proud of her! She is also in the top reading group of her class and her teacher is constantly coming up with new things for her to do. She is a real helper and her teacher only has to tell her how to do things once. Her teacher uses her as an example for the kids to see how to do things. She will be started on the accellerated reading program in January and her teacher is of course real pleased with her! Tepaynga is starting to pick up on little words her sister is learning! I can't believe what an observer she is! She amazes me with her big words and grown up language she uses! Dallin is now 2 months old and at his appointment was 13lbs. 23in. and growning. He's in the 75% for his height and weight. He reminds me of the way Mekayla grew. She was always in the 80-95% for her height and weight. Tepaynga was usually at the 50%-average at most of her appointments. Brett's been working in North Spokane for the last week and will be there some of next week as well. They are building a house over there with his job. He really enjoys it, but he came home sick last night. There was only one sick guy when they left and they all came back feeling sick yesterday! I was teasing him about kissing, but then that's just gross. We had a girl's night out + Dallin with one of my girlfriends the other night! We had dinner and rented a movie for us and one for all the kids! I'd forgotten how much fun it is to be with the girls and get out for a night! We'll do it again soon! I can't wait to live closer to my sister-in-laws and mom to be able to do things with them! I was really close to going to Utah this past week, but chose to save money and be responsible and have Mekayla go to school and both the girls to dance. They are in the process of learning their new dances for the recital in the spring and they are cute already! Tepaynga is going to be a "Pinnapple Princess" and dress up like a hula girl somehow! It's so cute! I'm not sure what Mekayla's dance is called, but the moves are cute and she gets to dance with a chair. Here is Mekayla's first day of school, Tepaynga's b-day, Mekayla's 1st race, Dad with girls in Moses Lake, Dallin's blessing day. I don't have time to fix the pictures, so enjoy the way they are!
