This is the story that Molly wrote.

"The Girl Who Wanted to be a Teacher"
By Molly
"Once there was a girl named Chidester and she wanted to grow up to be a teacher when she grew up."
"But she also wanted to be a hair do-er when she grew up."
"One day she was playing outside with her friends and talked about it and said I don't know what to be.  You can be anything you want when you grow up said her friends."
"But I want to be a teacher.  And she did."

Then there is a picture of Rebecca, Mrs. Chidester, and Molly and underneath it says "You are a great teacher."

**Molly wrote this story back in October for her Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Chidester.  She actually never gave it to her because she thought it wasn't good enough.  I thought it was so cute and that she did such a great job.  But I can also see how much she's learned in the couple of months since...punctuation, capitals when you're writing someone's name and at the beginning of sentences.  Her spelling has also improved, although she did exactly what she is being taught in school: spell words exactly how they sound.  A lot of times she spells words wrong when she reads them everyday with no problem.  All in all, I'm enjoying watching her learn how to read (she's doing awesome) and write and learn all these new, exciting things.

    I LOVE Molly's book. That is what I asked for for Christmas from Jane so she wrote me a good book that was 8 chapters! (each chapter was a page or so -smile) I agree that it is so fun to see them learning and reading and they are changing so quickly. I also loved your new pictures of you kids. They sure are cute.

    So, do you just warm up milk in the microwave for Stockton to drink? I can't get Henry to give up his formula and I am thinking temp might play a big part, but that just seems wierd to have warm cow milk to me...

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
