Brock


Brock turned 7 in November. This is rather hard to accept! He is getting so big and acts like a big kid too. Brock at 7, here we go...
- So athletic, riding his BMX bike, gymnastics, awesome swimmer,
and we just signed up for a local Jr. ski program.
- A smart cookie! He is excelling in and, most importantly, enjoying first grade. His strengths are math and science. He whooped Cory and I at Animal-opoly last night which is quite a complicated game. He can make change, add, and wheel-and-deal properties like an adult :)
- He loves to fish with his Dad and enjoys anything outdoors. It snowed a few weeks ago and he spent a couple mornings snowshoeing around the house before school. Doesn't mind the cold one bit!
- My favorite recent Brockism:
It was zero degrees on our thermometer one morning, we then walked over to my mom's house (next door, but up the hill). Her thermometer said it was 1 degree, Brock quickly explained, 'well its probably warmer at your house because heat rises and your house is higher than ours'. He is just always thinking!
- He is not much of a performer. Since starting school he has had two concerts where his class sings. We just love watching him - he says that he likes it and he love his music teacher, but he basically just stands there and his lips move occasionally. This is just SO not in Brock's personality, he has always been a more serious guy and just can't let loose in situations like that...can't say that I blame him one bit :) Though he is quite the dancer and singer at home!
We love every bit of you Brock! You amaze us!




Grinding the elk that Cory got with uncle Chad!
