Kindergarten Graduation

The kids each got a balloon to send off into the world. Ethan's note said that he wanted his balloon to land at Hunter's house.

Ethan told me that the thing that he will miss the most about Kindergarten is Mr. Kay.

This is Ethan's Kindergarten Graduation. They had a very cute program, all of the kids dressed up in what they wanted to be when they grow up. Ethan told me that he wants to be a police officer when he grows up because they get to ride motorcycles and turn on the sirens. Also they catch the robbers. During the program Ethan was the best singer he was singing his little heart out. He knew all of the words. Mr. Kay put together a video from the whole school year that we watched and there was not a dry eye in the room. It was so cute and it is sad that he is growing up so fast. Ethan's told me his favorite thing about kindergarten was math. He said his favorite friends from his class are Sawyer and Toby. He is really going to miss Mr. Kay this summer. Thanks Mr. Kay for being such a good teacher!!!!!

Spring Spectacular

This is Addy with her cute gymnastics friends. It is fun to see how much they have learned this year. When they first started none of the kids knew how to follow directions or take tuns. Now all of the kids listen to instructions and wait their turn (most of the time). I was glad to see that there are other crazy 3 year olds out there.
Addy loves her trophy and she tells everyone that it is her special trophy.
Here we are, Addy's biggest fans.
Gymnastics has been really great for Addy. Her gross motor skills have really improved. When we started class she could not even jump and now she is a jumping machine. Her favorite trick to do is a forward roll. She still has a hard time with the bars because she is the only one in her class who can not reach them. She has loved gymnastics and her teacher was really good about making Addy do things by herself. We will be back in the fall!!!

1. Lazy summer days chilling by the pool.
2. Hanging out at Sand Hollow this Summer and watching my kids play on the beach.
3. Hanging out with Jason's cousin's who are coming from Washington State to visit in June. I am excited to see their new baby.

5. Finding out the winner of American Idol.
6.The weekend.
7. Ethan learning how to ride his bike.

8 Things I Did Yesterday
1. Made the kids their usual breakfast. Eggo waffles and eggs for Addy. French toast sticks and eggs for Ethan.
2. Read Addy her two latest favorite books, Tails and A Color Of My Own.
3. Fed Brody several times.
4. Helped Ethan get his out fit ready for the end of the year program. Turns out he wants to be a police man because they ride motorcycles and get to be in charge of the sirens. I don't think he realizes the potential safety risk, but I don't want to burst his bubble.
5. Ate dinner at Joe Banditto's (I don't know if I spelled that right.) They have the best chips and salsa!!!
6. Went on a walk around the block and ran over a thorn, and the tire on my sweet stroller went flat.

3. Have a chef to cook dinner every night.
4. I wish I did not have to pick up a million toys, clothes, things, every night before I went to bed.
5. I wish I never had to be sick again.
6. I wish that my kids and husband would never have to be sick again.
7. I would also like to get my Master degree someday.
8. Keep my family safe.

6.So you think you can dance (It will be starting soon)
