Blake "Mom, my lunch $ account is low"

Well this morning as I was helping Blake to hurry along to get ready for school and not miss the bus he said, "Mom, my account is low." "What do you mean I said?" My lunch money account is low. Well at the beginning of the year I had sent 15.00 which equated to 10 school lunches. He has learned his student number now and has purchased a few milks when I did not send a drink in his lunch box, but they are only 25 cents a piece. I have recorded that he only ate school lunch 5 times the other days I have packed a lunch for him-and on many occasions he does not eat it all but will sit down at the bus stop on his way home with his friend and they will finish his lunch there.
So I called to school to see what the balance was. She said he had $1.15 left, and she would send home a report. After hanging up the phone I was very confused and said, "They don't know what they are doing down there."
Blake then pipes in to say "Mom, did you know that they have breakfast at school?" I said "yes", and then Blake's response was "I have been eating breakfast at school." "Oh really," I said, "and, about how many days have you done this?" He held up six fingers.
Well come to find out his best friend eats breakfast at school and he decided to join him. We talked a bit and decided that he could do this on occasion, but he needs to let me know so that we can keep track of the money in his account. He really does not need to eat two breakfasts a day and should be able to eat his lunch during lunch time as well. So with a little communication you can find out that school does not need to be just a big food buffet, but can also be a place for learning.

Gotta love those little ones as they learn and grow-Rayma

Weekly Update

 

Not much happened this week. Blake was a little sick with a fever but made it through. Rayma received some good news from the dermatologist this week. He took the last of her stitches out and said all the skin cancer was gone and she just needed to check back in six months. We are very grateful for that.

Only 5 more weeks until the baby is born. We are still debating a name we are down to three. Corey Bryson Bullock, Bridger Corey Bullock or Carson Corey Bullock. Chime in if you like one or the other.

Corey was called to be Young Men's President in our new ward in Grantsville. He will be very busy. Other than that we are doing well and are grateful for the many tender mercies and blessings that Heavenly Father continues to bless us with everyday. Hope all is well!

 

2008 Trip to the State Fair

 


First of all I would like to apologize for posting so many blogs on the same day. We are trying to catch up.

Also I would like to apologize for Blake in the photo. He has been drinking contaminated water since we moved to Grantsville and it affects him in wierd ways.

We had the opportunity to go to the 2008 State Fair. The kids loved the animals, especially the reptile exhibits. They also loved little hands on the farm exhibit. The photos really tell the story. The photos were taken on Thursday, September 11, 2008.

Updating

We are new at this blog thing so a little updating.

We have moved to Grantsville, Utah into a new house (yeah! we get to put in ANOTHER yard!). We have lived in our new house for three months now and realy are starting to enjoy it. It is so peaceful.

Rayma is due to have our forth child on October 19th-23rd (I know I thought that was a long time to be in labor too, but that is when she says the baby is due). My guess is that it will probably come October 9th or 10th.

Blake has started first grade at Willow Elementary School in Grantsville and rides the bus (which he loves). We had a little trauma yesterday as Blake lost two more teeth (he has now lost 6). It probably would have been easier to get gold out of Fort Knox then teeth out of his mouth. I am still nursing three bite marks on my fingers. It was quit an ordeal.

Kaitlyn has decided she wants to be a gymnast (we didn't watch any of the olympics, did we?!?!). She also is becoming very helpful around the house.

Braden, is growing and has such a great personality. He loves to tease but hates to be teased (sounds like his dad).

Anyway, we will be adding some pictures and more posts in the future!

Why I created a blogg

I created this blog because certain people wouldn't stop bugging me to create a blog. Holy Cow! It's like your not cool if you don't have a blog or something!

Well, umm... you know... I must have a lot of empty space in my head (why did I start a blog in the first place)...anyway!

Holy cow, this thing really works. I just now received a phone call from a very well recpected royal family from Africa offering me the investment opportunity of a lifetime. All I have to do is give them my bank account number and they will deposit millions of dollars into it. What luck and all of this because I have a blog. I wasn't cool before, but now I am all that and a kit kat.

Which reminds, I haven't had any lunch.

See you next time!
