The back half of January

As the Pratts chapter of ontario wakes up today we are amazed to see we are already past the half way mark of January. I had no idea so much could happen so fast.

McKay has recieved two toys that he loves dearly, his car and train. Both play multiple songs that Jordan no longer loves. I am not home enough to hear it as often as Jordan so I usually sing along. Needless to say Jordan has found the mute button on the toys. How long will it be tell McKay finds the buton? McKay can now walk behind his car the lenght of the house and that is pretty cool. On Thursdays Jordan has Sympony and Danny gets to watch McKay. McKay and Danny are a little rougher with each other (McKay in a "wrestling match" resorted to grabbing Danny by his mouth and tearing his lip). Jordan comes home and finds McKay snuggly and ready for bed and a husband who cut himself "shaving." McKay also had his 1 year check-up this week. We are relieved he is healthy, and on track.

Jordan is doing so good. She started doing palates, which is a real sacrifice because it means waking up before McKay. If you know Jordan, you know that few things does Jordan enjoy more than sleeping. She is also making some good friends and meets them for lunch every so often. Jordan recieved a church calling that is pretty demanding. She is in charge of the music at church which means that she has to find all of the musical numbers and pick the hymns. Jordan is excited that the weather is getting nicer which means that Jordan and McKay can walk more. That leads to a sore point in that Jordan did another winter with out snow. For a Utah girl it is hard for her to understand that anyone would want to go a whole year without snow. We thought it would snow in Ontario.

Danny is on top of the world right now. His Us History class is rocking through the presidents already memorizing the first eight. Funny story when Danny told his Dad (chip) that his sophmores were learning the presidents in order Chip responded how great that is and how every American should know every president. Danny then asked if he could name the first four presidents? Chip started of hot naming the first George Washington, but from there was nothing but silence followed by "I think Jefferson." Skipped one Danny told Chip. Thats right Madison, Chip responded. Needlessto say Chip could really use 55 minutes a day with Danny's US History class. If the Bennions are reading this post I want to see if Mary and Sarah know the first eight presidents. The seniors are starting to get senioritiest after they were asked to pick the class song. I can remember being a senior in high school and this beggins the slow march to a total uniterest in school. Apperently every senior has learned everything they need to know by the half way point.

Life is good the Pratts
