End of Preschool

So Thursday was Samantha's last day of preschool. She has really enjoyed meeting new friends and learning what school is all about. She enjoyed making art projects the most and playing with the good smelling play do. For the last day of school picnic all the kids made handprint shirts with their classmates fingerprints on them as well. They turned out sooo sute! Next year for Pre-K she will finally be at Redstone with Jack. It will be great to have the two of them at the same school! For now its summer break time, bring on the fun!

Field Day Fun!

We love Field Day! It is such a great memory from our childhood that when the end of the school year rolls around we look forward to this day. Jack has come to love it as much as we do. This year field day had been cancelled twice due to the weather so we were happy to finally get it in. New to field day this year was the large super stackers. The kids were so good at it, we were amazed. Our favorite relay was the water relay of course because there is water involved :0) To end the day all the kiddos got to enjoy otter pops and they spent the whole day outside. There is nothing better than seeing the huge smile on Jack's face at the end of the day!

Baseball is here!

Yeah we are so excited for some baseball! Yes spring baseball is here and Jack is loving it! He has played some amazing baseball already, but still has a lot of learning to do. He split his first two games, winning the first and losing the second. He has gone 4-4 and made some great defensive plays for outs. Jack likes to play short stop or second base the best and has done very well at those positions. To see his intensity for the game get more and more is great. Lots more baseball to come. GO WARRIORS!

Easter

What an amazing Easter we had! The weather finally held and we could go outside and enjoy the day. The Easter Bunny came to the house and left baskets for the kiddos and then it was off to Mimi and Pa's for an Easter lunch. The kids were so excited to do an egg hunt that we had to start off the celebration with the hunt. They were so happy to be outside and enjoy the sun. Then we had a family baseball game in the front and it was so much fun. We definitely worked up an appetite and we were off to eat some great food. The family time was great, the weather was wonderful and we couldn't of asked for a better day! We had a fabulous time!

Tucson, Arizona

We had sooo much fun in Arizona! Okay so it was last minute and we didn't really plan it, but it was the best thing we could of done. We piled the kids into the Yukon and down the road we went. We stopped in Santa Fe for the most amazing lunch and then it was off to Tucson. While in Tucson we went to the Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson, the Pima Air and Space Museum, U of A, and a Rockies Spring training game. Yes for only a four day trip we did a lot, but the kids were happy and we were even more happy! One of the best parts was it was 80 degrees there and we missed the big snowstorm here!

BON JOVI!

Yeah an adult night of fun with Bon Jovi, how can you go wrong! We enjoyed a wonderful night filled with dinner at Lime with Jason and Elise and then off to the concert. We had great seats and the music was amazing! We sang along to all the old tunes and were moved by his touching performance of Hallelujah. Its always nice to get out and have some "grown up" time on occasion and we finished the night off with Wanted Dead or Alive and Livin' on a Prayer, Whoa Oh Livin' on a Prayer! So much fun!

George Washington

Jack has been working very hard on his Famous Americans project the last three weeks. He was so excited because he was chosen to portray George Washington. Each second grade class had a Famous American and they had a speech they had to present at the presentation. Jack gathered numerous facts and made several props for the presentation. Dad and I were so proud of him for memorizing his lines and making such a wonderful presentation. His entire class did an amazing job on the unit and it was a lot of fun!
