Happy Birthday Jonah!

On Monday, was Jonah's 6th Birthday! We had already given him his B-day present, about a month ago, Sophie, the guinea pig. Of course, we still celebrated the weekend before, his actual b-day. We went to Fergus for the weekend, and started off celebrating at Grandma J.'s and Grandpa Kevin's! We had a great lunch, but before we ate, Grandma J. said that Jonah could open his presents first! That made his day of course!!

Hmm....I wonder what's in these?

He got a great outfit from Grandma and Grandpa, and a Toy Story Lego ship!

Transformer's from aunt Bert!

I have no idea what this face was, but he got a Bakugan and a cool Star Wars shirt, from Nathan and Amber. It was a great afternoon!

Next we went to Grandpa Matt and Grandma Judy's. We stayed the night cause Mom, Grandpa and Grandma had to go to a wedding. But we had a Birthday brunch on Sunday morning. Grandma made rolls, eggs and bacon, it was great! Then he got to open some more presents.

Grandpa and Grandma went in with us, on Sophie for Jonah, but wanted to be able to give him something, on his birthday. He got an exercise thing for Sophie, and some Playmobile pirates! It was a good weekend! On Monday, his actual birthday we made cupcakes for his class, and he got to bring Sophie in, to show his class. He loved showing her off to his friends, they all thought she was pretty cute, and she did really well, with all those kids!

One thing we can't seem to get very often, is Jonah looking at the camera! But as you can see he loved all the presents he got!

My Hubby is Teacher of the Week!!

This is about a little late, but I wanted to post it anyways! Jeremy was nominated, (by me) for teacher of the week, and got it! It was so fun, because I was there, when he heard. A bunch of his kids, came and told him that they had heard it on the radio, that morning. Then Mr. Otte (the principal) announced it on the intercom, and the lady, from our little town, came and took his picture.

I added this just for him!!

He won a $10 gift cert. to Papa Murphy's, and a teacher's arrangement, from Wild Rose!

I had to add these pics, because I think it is so cool, and he does such a great job at what he does! He really deserves to be teacher of the year, but this will do great! I just wanted you to see how creative he is. For " I love to Read", month this year, they decided to have an Olympic theme. Each class chose a country involved in the winter Olympics, and did fun projects, and learned lots about their countries. Then at the end of the month, they had a tour of countries, where the kids could walk to each classroom and learn a little bit about each country. They even had some snacks to go with each country. The 1st graders chose China, and Jeremy and his class made a ton of great art!

This side had lots of info about China, and even pics of some of the Olympians.

Underneath that, there was a table with a chance to try using chopsticks, and a fortune cookie snack. He got a big box of 350, for really cheap, and the kids loved them!

Other wall, with info on the Chinese new year, and some cool dragons.
I love you lots Jer, and am really proud of all the hard work you do! Your a great teacher, and the kids are lucky to have you!

Here you can see all that he hung up! They also made really cool lanterns and other artwork.

Their goal for "I love to Read" month, was 500 books, for a gold. And they read way over 500 books!
