The AlpHaBEt CrOwN

Tyler came home from school yesterday wearing this special crown! It is the Aphabet Crown, and when kids can identify, write, and pass off the sounds of all of the uppercase and lowercase letters, they receive this crown! It is quite the big deal at his little preschool!

He was told that he was two letters away on Monday, so he came home Monday night and worked really hard with me on it. He set a goal with his Dad and Steve promised to take him to Boondocks when he came home with that crown!

So when I picked him up yesterday from school, sure enough Tyler came running out wearing his crown and begging me to call up Dad! I was so proud! And yes, we spent the evening playing at Boondocks! All the boys had the night of their lives playing with their Dad, especially Tyler.

Way to go Tyler!! What a huge day! I'm so glad they make it a big deal at Challenger for the kids when they master the Alphabet! Congratulations!

Yay for Tyler!!! What a cutie. I know when Ella comes home from school with the little "letter" cards I am so proud! I think Challenger does a great job......the other day Ella was telling me all about George Washington. Huh? She's three!

It's about time you posted again! I've been waiting for a Christensen update! Tyler, we're so proud of you! Way to be amazing! We have yet to go to Boondocks! It sounds like a blast!We've had tickets up in our cupboard for almost a year...we keep forgetting about them. That's great to know the boys had a blast! They're so cute! Are you guys feeling better then? Now our family's fighting the cold bug. Yuck!

Hooray for Tyler! What a neat idea! Can I ask where he is going to school? I know my twins are only 1, but it could possibly determine where we live once we get back to Utah. Decisions decisions!

What a hard worker Tyler is. For a trip to Boondocks, I might even learn my ABCs.

Can't wait til Kate is a bit older and she brings us things like this to put up on the fridge. So far, we haven't put up her height chart, although she seems to be excelling in that department.

We hope to be in UT over Memorial Day and will try to connect with you guys then.
