Family Happinings

Becca has been starting pre school and she loves it. I think that her teacher is the best! I have had all of my children tested by her to see if they can get into the classes at school that I want them to get into. Alex and Lizzy were tested by her to see if they could get into all day kindergerten and then Becca was tested to see if she would be able to go to pre-school. I was happy when I found out that Becca was going to be in her class. She is super nice and works well with the children. Alex was tested at school for reading and we recived a letter in the mail telling me that he was not reading where he should be reading. Issac and I were floored because when he had left kindergeten he was reading at a first grade level, but probably could have went further, but his teacher didn't want to push him to much. I was finally able to talk to the teacher and found out that he was teasted in the libary with a bunch of other kids and I think that he shut down. A few weeks later I saw the speach teacher and I talked to her about it and she was going to ask if she could give the test to him because she thought that he would do a much better job. One other thing that I told her that the teacher had said was that he needed to be reading faster. His speach teacher said for him that is not important. What he needs to be doing is getting all the sounds out right not reading faster. She said that she would talk to the teacher about it. She did say that he was doing a great job in her class. He is talking lounder and much more. That made me soooo happy! I told her that I thought it was the year around school system that really helped him. she agreed with me. Lizzy is having fun the kindergarten. She tells me that she has a best friend and that she is going to go to her house and play. I informed her that I needed to meet her parents and talk with them first. She then told me that she was going to ske for Issac's phone number so she could give it to her BFF. I just had to laugh I thought she was so funny. That girl is going to give me a run for my money. She keeps having to many mood swings she will be nice for one second and then trun all bratty. She will yell at me, spit, and hit me. I just wonder how she is going to be when she becomes a teenager. I have hope that she will mellow out sometime....soon I hope. I have been told by many people that it is just going to get worse YAH!!! for me. Gotta love girls! I went to work yesterday and found out that I was up for a review and that my manager had done it and she had given me a small raise($.20). Which I was happy to get. Any raise is better than no raise at all. I am trying to become an assitant manager. We shall see how that goes. I am still working alot so we can get our car paied off and so I can have Christmas for my kids. I know some of you will think that I am crazy, but I have been buying stuff all ready. In fact I think that I am almost done with one of them. I just want to be done so I can enjoy the holiday seasons. Issac was informed a few weeks ago that he will be able to be hiried on full time with the companie that he is working for now. He was hiried through a temp agency for the job and was glad that he would be able to get hiried after the 3 months was over. They are all about family. They want you to take care of family first then work. How cool is that! I was happy about that for sure. He is still training for a marathon that will be in St George next year. His brother and him are trying to run it together. It will be loads of fun.
