Smore's

We love to roast marshmallows and hotdogs on warm summer nights.

  

School Programs

In May, the kids had 2 school programs, a week apart.  The first one was just the lower grades.  Here is a picture of all the kindergartners.  Both programs were so good.  

How do you...

How do you keep 3 kids entertained while getting ready for church?  They were all ready and picking on each other while the adults were getting ready - so I got out Caden's homework book from school and had them take turns reading.  They did great!  

Soccer

Most of the kids soccer games this spring were played dressed like this...
It was cold/rainy/windy and Brrr!

 Towards the end of the season, we were able to get in some games with sunshine and shorts.

Both Caden and Allyson enjoyed soccer.  They learned a lot and did a great job playing.

Kindergarten party (2)

Allyson's kindergarten picnic was a rainy day.  We still had a picnic, but had it in the classroom.  It was a bit crowded, but the kids still had fun.  After we ate our sack lunches, the parents could stay for a little bit and "play" with the kids.  

Here is a picture of Allyson sitting on my lap, drawing horses with her two friends Ashlyn and MaKayla.  

Kindergarten party (1)

Caden had an end of the year kindergarten party in the park.  Parents were invited to join and have a fun day.  They walked from the school and had a picnic in the park.  All the kids were so excited to have their parents join them for a fun day.  It was a beautiful day.  Caden had daddy join him for his party.  

Here is a picture of his class all lined up on the steps of the slide.  

Teacher gift

The kids love their kindergarten teachers this year.  They each took a rose to school for their teacher one day.  They were so excited. They assured me the flowers even lasted the bus ride to school.  

Easter 2011

My kiddos on Easter Sunday...after the sunrise service @ church and the breakfast after the service.  

 Allyson got a Lala Loopsy doll and a Kit Kittridge (American Girl Doll) dvd

Caden got 2 wii games - scooby doo and Harry Potter lego.

Later that day, we had supper at Grandpa and Grandma's.  It was a gorgeous evening to have an Easter egg hunt.  After the hunt, all the kids sat still for a couple seconds for a group picture.

Toothless

Caden lost his first tooth in April.  He was playing outside @ school and bumped his mouth on a pole, and the tooth started bleeding.  He went to his teacher and she took a tissue and pulled it out.  (This tooth was super loose already - but Caden was too nervous to pull it out by himself).  

He took the tooth home in a baggie and let the toothfairy come that night.  The tooth fairy left him $5 for his first tooth.  

Work Day

I am going to post a few catch up posts - of the highlights - fun pics.  Enjoy!

Back in April - we had a clean up day @ my parents house.  We all pitched in and helped clean up around the yard.  The guys ran chainsaws a huge part of the day, the girls picked up sticks/branches that were trimmed, pulled up rock from around the house, the boys caught mice and threw them in the fire, and we all got really muddy and dirty.  While cleaning in the grove, we found this old bicycle.
