Major improvement!

Ethan, my little man, has made some big improvements this year at school.  He got an award during the school's assembly meeting, called the P.R.O. Award (people respecting others).  It's awarded to the students who showed courtesy, kindness, consideration and respect for his/her fellow students and teachers.  He was so excited!  He told me that while he was at the assembly, he was sitting there listening to the names that were being called, and he said "Mommy, I was sitting there thinking to myself, I'm never going to be called, and then they called my name!"  He's gone from twirling around with scissors in his hand, (which ended up cutting a classmate close to his eye), throwing a building block at another classmates head, being sent to the principals office for all this and other things......to this award!   WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM!  Another thing that we are so proud of him for is his recent report card.  He has struggled throughout this year with hiding homework, throwing fits about doing homework, not doing his assignments in the classroom because of too much chatting with friends which showed on his report.  But now, he has S+'s and S's and +'s  and a nice paragraph from his teacher praising his huge improvements!  We are so Happy and So Proud of him!  

We are so proud of Dallin for letting us spike his 

hair up into a mohawk when he hates having anything done to his hair. :P  If Ethan does it, he'll usually let us, but as soon as we're done taking pictures, he's flattening it down as fast as he can. :P

  Goofy brothers. :P  Best friends..
