Nolan was a reader!! We practiced for 2 whole weeks prior & he had it mastered! In fact, he had most of it memorized. (Even with 13 3-syllable words!)
Then, he got up there, saw all the people & forgot how to read!! LOL!
Public speaking does it to all of us!!
But we are SOOOO proud that he worked that hard prior & made it through!
I've attached his mass recording. Uuuh.... please excuse the shaking... that would be Jillian pulling on the straps of the camera. You can faintly hear me telling her to stop it... Then, you can hear me, when Nolan was going astray & I was trying to correct him!
Then, when we got home from school - I made him read it one more time & I recorded that too!
Oh, Mom!

Ridin'!
Oh boy - Are we in for trouble?!
Yes - Jillian got her own 4-wheeler for Christmas, but she prefers the back of her brothers!
And, the snow melted & weather warmed, just enough so they could get outdoors and give it a run!
They also wandered the entire subdivision like this!! Jillian made it a whole 3-4 houses before she was done trying to steer!
Christmas in St Louis!
OK - So, St Louis didn't go as planned! What does!??!
John got the stomach flu & was bed-ridden. So, on Day 1 of his symptoms, the rest of us escaped to the Stadler's!
Were the kids even in the door, before Nolan was asking to open presents?? Uhh... NO!
The highlight of this trip for JJ was her 1st pedicure! THANKS, AUNT CAROL! The highlight for Nolan was a field trip to Incredible Pizza and Borders Books with Mrs Brown, while the rest of us pampered ourselves!
The kids were SPOILED ROTTEN!! And, by far, it was their best "Not so shy" experience there!
