Brett's first week at his new school was awesome! I am still holding my breathe but he is doing great. They are very structured and he seems to be doing well with it. There have been a few instances of him saying no to a request but no hitting at all. We are working on listening skills hard right now. He told me the other day "mom, they read a lot of books there, mom, I mean a lot". He also knows all of his colors in sign language already. He has been tracing his name and learning about same and different. I really like it so far and hope the trend continues. (knock on wood). Brett is up to 8 stickers out of 20. he also will get something special at 10 stickers to celebrate.
Justin has been working a ton still out in the yard getting it ready. He is awesome. The sprinklers work so good and the yard is all level. We did not buy any top soil so today he spent all day racking up rocks into piles and I put them in the parking strip. It totally looks like a different yard. We just have a few items left and then on Thursday we are getting curbing and then next Saturday hydroseed. The hardest part will be keeping the dog (and neighbor dogs) off the lawn and brett off for 6 weeks. so after a few more Justin tasks the yard will be in someone elses hands. after the hydroseed we will not do anything else this year other than hope that it grows in! The flower gardens, sand box, and patio are going to be projects in 2009! From where we started it is amazing how far its come. Justin is just great! Best birthday/anniversary present ever..... Justin has tons of brownie points right now.
Other than those two things life is flowing like normal, work is great but busy. Our house is a big dust trap right now with all the yard work its like layer upon layer of dirt. It is going to have to wait for another week. The Utes are 2-0 right now and playing well. They play Utah State tomorrow night at 6. Cant wait. I know I am an alum of Utah state but I have to cheer for Utah to kill them.
