Katharine's First Day of Pre K!

I was very nervous this morning. Katharine was upset last night, and saying that she did not want to go to school. Crying, the whole nine yards. Luckily, she was in much better spirits this morning! No problems with the uniform. For all the carrying on last night, she just walked right into class this morning! Not a single tear, though I had a few :-). So proud of her for being so brave!

After school, she reported that she liked her teacher and had fun. It looks like it's going to be a good school year!

Kaden and Colin's First day of 1st Grade!

Colin and Kaden had their first day of first Grade! Colin is in Mrs. Frazier's class, and Kaden is right next door in Mrs. Ward's class. They have recess and lunch together. They were both very excited and did not hesitate in going in their classrooms. So brave! I think it's harder on the parents right now. We both walked them to class, took pictures, and gave them each a high five:-) At the end of the day, they both reported that it was a fun and good day, and that they both liked their teachers. Katharine starts tomorrow, so we'll see if we are so fortunate!

Victoria's Bum Bum song

Victoria is quite the little dancer. Like her sister and brother, she love Hi-5. She also likes to dance to the music on the iPod. I had the Queen song "another one bites the dust" on my iPod, though it's the Glee show version. The sung opens up with, "Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum". Victoria assumes they are talking about her bum! She automatically starts hitting her bum to the music and saying, "bum, bum, bum!" So stinkin cute! Love her! Love that she dances and hits her bum to the music :-).

Victoria's 2nd Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our sweet baby, Victoria! We went to the mall for lunch to celebrate and ride the carousel, just us girls. Jason and the boys are in Colorado camping. We had a great time at the mall, and Victoria enjoyed the carousel, twice :-). We went to Mattitos for dinner with Aunt Stephanie, and the girls were great. We then went across the street, and Aunt Stephanie treated them both to some candy at the candy shoppe :-). Then it was on to the fountain to throw some pennies. All in all, is was a great birthday. So blessed to have our special, sweet girl. Love her sweet kisses :-). She is talking much more now, and saying some 2 word sentences. She loves her baby doll and strolls her around. Katharine is being a good big sister, and trying to teach her things she feels is imperative to know :-).

The boys had a snow ball fight in the mountains of Colorado, even though it was 72 outside! They also got to cook some smores. Hoping they sleep in a little in the morning for Jason. They were up at 0550 this morning with the time change!

Kaden and Colin graduate Kindergarten!

I cannot believe it, but this school year is over. Colin and Kaden are on their way to First grade. It is amazing, how much they have learned this year. Special thanks to Mrs. Buffington (Kaden's teacher), and Ms. Ballesteros (Colin's teacher).

Katharine's play date and Book Fair

Me and Katharine had a play date with Joanne and Emma at Pump it Up. We haven't been there in a while, and I was so proud of Katharine! She was doing the obstacle course and slide all by herself! No help! She was a pro! So proud of her! She was proud too! She is growing up! Grew 3 inches this year! She was so happy and had such a great time during the play date. Emma came over to our house after :-)

Kaden and Colin had their book fair at school. I got to go and help them pick out a few books. Colin was not overly impressed. After some coaxing, he only bought a few books, and one was for Katharine :-). His favorite was a book about Storms. Kaden came into the library and wanted everything that wasn't tied down :-). Kidding. He ended up with 8 books, with 2 for Katharine. He had 2 Star Wars and 2 Scooby doo books. Very expensive boy :-). It was fun to visit them and spend time with them at school. Plus, I'm glad we have instilled in them a love of reading.

Katharine 4 year check up

Katharine had her 4 year check up. She is growing great! Sight and hearing are good! We had to get our 4 year immunizations, and that stunk! I held her during the shots, and she cried, but did not kick like she has in the past! She really was fine by the time we got her sucker! I took her for ice cream after :-). She is a big girl now!
