Rhett turned 6 today!

Today is Rhett's birthday and he turned 6! On Wednesday night we ate all of his favorites and had his birthday cake because grandma and grandpa Tolman left on Thursday morning. We ate Chicken on the bone, corn on the cob, strawberry lemonade, cantaloupe, primavera, and double layered strawberry short-cheese cake. He is such a funny, good, imaginate, smart kid. He said on Wednesday this is the best day ever, then on Thursday again, today told me "Thank you mom, I had the best birthday ever and we're still going to Chucky Cheese." He has told me probably 6+ times that he loves me today. He is such a good kid. We took ice cream sandwhiches to his kindergarten class today and his teacher reassured me how smart she thinks he is. He got some of the coolest toys - star war micro machines, playmobile, magnets, and a transformer. He likes to play video games and sports; especially baseball and soccer. He is starting tikuando (Spelling) next tuesday and has it twice a week. He really wants to start taking piano from his grandma, but she is very busy with trips, 11 students, and life. He loves PE, kinderbuddies, Math,free choice fridays, callander, show-n-tell, and music at school. He misses his dad, loves his sisters and can always make Maverick smile.
I've been busy the last couple sundays doing music for Relief Society, teaching in Miamaids, and beehives, now this sunday I am teaching Rhetts class. Aurora starts gymnastics on Monday and Madeline will be taking tykuando with Rhett. We do a craft at Michaels each Saturday. On the 11th we are going on a hike with a tour and learning about the Spokane area. The on the 18th we are going to Greenbluff to pick pumpkins and apples and have apple pie. Then at night we have our Ward Harvest and trick-or-treating, I know early. We've had a tradition of everyone in the family dressing up as the same theme. This year we are doing Spiderwic cronicles. Rhett is Jared, Madeline a water fairy, Aurora a flower sprite, megan is Mallory, MIke is mullgarath, and Maverick a troll, or green monster. THe kids are so excited. This theme was Rhett's idea. If you haven't noticed I like to stay busy because I get so much more done. The most exciting thing is that MIke is coming home in 1 month for a visit and will be staying 9 days!!!!
