Landon's Pre-K Graduation

Last week was the last week of school.  Landon graduated Pre-K and is ready for Kindergarten.  They had a cute little ceremony and each of the kids got some awards.  We had a buffet style pot luck dinner and the kids played on the playground afterwards.

Landon received the Mr. Compassion award for being such a sweet boy.  He has been known to pat another child on the back at nap time because they were crying.  Landon is such a special boy, we are so lucky to have him.  I can't believe he is old enough to go to Kindergarten!

Jaedyns end of the year party...

I can't believe the end of the year is here.  This year really went by so fast, but we are already looking forward to the Summer, going to the pool, and vacation at the beach!  To celebrate a great year, they had a end of the year party.  Unlike "Field Day" this time there were blow-ups and carnival games.  The kids were free to run where ever they wanted to.  I had a hard time keeping up with Jaedyn, she was just having too much fun!  We are sad the year is over!

Pre-K Water Day

Landon's Pre-K had a "water day".  They have this really cool water feature built in at school.  The kids all wore their bathing suits to school, played until they couldn't play anymore and then had a picnic lunch.  I still can't believe their is only 1 day of school left!  Where has it gone?

The little things....

It really is the little things that make my sweet Tanner happy. 

Like his shadow on the wall...

Or the lid he has been working on finally opens!

We sure love this sweet boy more than words.  He truly brightens our lives every day!

Roxy & Cocoa 2.0

A little while back we found some dogs on the side of the road.  We named them quickly as we only had them for a day, but we named them Roxy & Cocoa.  They were short lived, cute as they were, they pooped and pee'd and whined all night.  So, as replacements we got the kids two betta fishes.  Well, wouldn't you know, I didn't blog about it and we already had a tragedy.   Cocoa 1.0 went to live with Heavenly Father already, so now we have Cocoa 2.0.  The kids were great about it, and were excited to pick out Cocoa 2.0 (we just call him Cocoa)  It actually was nice to teach my kids this lesson with a fish first.  I hope I don't have to teach this on anything more significant than a fish for a VERY VERY long time.

Haircut

I treated myself to a new haircut earlier this week.  The kids will be out of school for the summer and it will be harder to do things for myself.  I am looking forward to hanging out at the pool.  This haircut should be low maintenance for that kind of thing!

[haha, Just kidding...  trying to be cute]

[I still couldn't quite figure out how to look at the camera]

[still no luck.. but you see the new hair cut]

Making Necklaces...

After Awards Day, I checked Jaedyn out of school early.  All she wanted to do was make necklaces with me.  She is such a sweet girl, of course we made necklaces!

 

Award's Day @ Kindergarten

Jaedyn had her end of the year Awards day this week.  She got 3 awards, they all got two, her third one was for perfect attendance.

Washing the wallet...

The other day I heard this crazy sound coming from the dryer.  What could it be?  A shoe?  A rock??   Nope, it was Adams wallet.   What an ordeal this wallet caused that day!

I am one of those, that doesn't check my husbands pockets.  I do soo much laundry with 3 kids, that if you leave it in your pocket, it's going to get washed!

Dance class is almost over...

We only have one more dance class, then a dress rehearsal before the big day.  They have been working really hard on their routine and are looking pretty sharp.  The past few weeks they have been asking us to come into the room and let them practice performing with an audience.  Of course, since I brought my camera this time, no luck.  But, I did manage to take some pictures through the window anyways.

[then they each ran though their routine by themselves so Neta could give them 1 on 1 feedback]
