Jackson's Awards

This week Jacks came home with two awards and we were so proud of him. At the beginning of the week he came home with the Superintendent Reading Award for completing the reading challenge given to all the kids over the summer. He was so excited he couldn't put the certificate down. To top it off he received a free game of bowling to Fat Cats with it and can't wait to go and cash that in. Then at the end of the week he received an individual award from his Kindergarten teacher for being a "Math and Letter Wizard" in class. This little award came with a short ceremony that the girls and I went to. He was so happy and kept repeating his new given title all day long! He received a fun book and a school decal with the award as well. Good job Jackson and keep up the good work at school!!

Here he is being called up and shaking his teacher's hand. And you know me...can't resist...I had to take a picture of him holding his award:)

Okay so I know this last picture has nothing to do with his awards but I had to post it anyway because I thought it was too funny and he came home with it this week as well. Can't remember which day it was, but one day this week, after coming home from school, he showed me the "Family" book he created in class. This is the first picture in his book. He has carefully drawn everyone in our family and he got us all quite acurate I might add! The funny thing is this...if you look closely there are only two people in the pic that have ears, and quite big ones to boot. Those two people are him and Jared!! Why do only they have ears? Well because the running joke in our family is that only Jackson has inherited Jared's big ears. And so as to not make him self-concious about them we always say that he has big ears just like his Dad. That way hopefully he will pride himself for his big ears instead of loathe them:) Well, I guess it has stuck, because he has given himself and Jared the biggest ears in this picture ever! Maybe not too funny for anyone else but Jared and I had the biggest laugh. I later asked him why he didn't give me, Mikaela, or Alexis ears and he said because ours are too small. Thanks Jacks!
