Yesterday was a great day for Mitchell.  He turned 11 years old!  He has gotten so big!  He also was given his Arrow of Light Award for scouts on the same day.  I am proud of all the hard work he has done to get that award.  Way to go Mitchell!

Paige has been working so hard on her Peter Pan play.  Only one more week until opening night.  She is so very excited and has been practicing her lines and her songs daily.  I am so proud of her and excited to go watch the play!

Mimi and Papa gave him this tent and he just HAD to sleep in it that night!
The only sad part of the day was when we told him that he couldn't go to school the next day.  We have always told him he was going to start school when he was 5 and he thought the next day he was going to start school for sure!  Poor guys was so sad to find out he had to wait 4 more months to start school.

Our family is studying the D&C right now. Tonight we read about Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery getting the Priesthood from John the Baptist first and then later from Peter, James and John.
When I asked Mitchell which priesthood he was going to get next year when he turned 12 he proudly said, "I'm going to get the Ironic Priesthood!"
After laughing for a long time I tried to tell him that it was not the Ironic priesthood but the Aaronic Priesthood. He thought it was funny and assumed that they were always saying the Ironic priesthood because it wasn't the real thing....that the Melchizedek Priesthood was the real priesthood.
It is funny how you misinterpret things when you don't have the whole information!

I thought I would copy a page from Harry's journal that he keeps at school. He cracks me up!

I have lots of friends. My friends are nice. My friends are Josh, Jesse Landon and Matthew F. They are the best. They all like sports. The Titanic is cool. The solar system is cool. I like math. Math is easy. My brothers Link game is cool. I think Harrison is a cool name. I went hiking in Feb. I was sick in Feb. I like Magic tree House books. I like summer. I have lots of friends. I don't have a kite. My lucky number is 8. I have a DSi. I want a 3DS.

The kids were bored and got creative. They decided to start protesting causes they believe in. They made signs and put them on sticks and then started marching up and down the hall ways chanting.
Mitchell's sign: Sick of BYU. Boycott all things BYU!
Harry's sign: I demand more play dates with Josh and that I can play Titan Quest on the computer.
Grant's sign: Booo Paige. I am on Team Mitchell.
They crack me up!
