School's Out For The Summer!!!

 Summer is Here!!

May 24, 2012

 The kids woke up nice and late 8:35 (Which is sleeping in for us around here). They woke up to their annual Summer basket.  They get this every year on the last day of school.  Well we had a big Summer Swim party on the last day of school with all their friends, so I decided to wait and give this to them the next morning.  They were so excited, because they didn't think I remembered.  They were so excited to start to do anything and everything in that basket all in one day.  It did feel like we did everything you could do in a summer in one day, but I think the kids had a blast.  I know I did. We started the day off by doing a little side walk art.  Then we moved onto racing leaves in the gutter down our street. Loved this because I used to do this when I was little. Addison had to win every time so of course she would cheat:) Then we colored some pictures, went to the park. Ate a picnic out on the patio.  Went on a hike to see some of the places the fire had burned up on our mountain. We then came home and read some books, blew some bubbles, checked on our garden, washed the car, and ate a bunch of otter pops.  We then ended the night with a family movie night.  It's funny how much you miss, setting in front of a computer.  We had no T.V.  that day, or computer, so it was nice to be together as a family. 

 

Happy Day Preschool.

May 23 2012

Addison went to two different preschools this year.  I didn't think 2 days a week was enough for her, and neither preschool offered 4 days a week in the morning only in the afternoon.  So we put Addison in two preschools.  One was Monday, and Wednesday, the other one was Tuesday and Thursday.  She enjoyed both so much.  Her last graduation was on Wednesday.  She graduated from Happy day Preschool.  She told everyone about how to tell time.  She also choose as her favorite song to sing, 3 little speckled frogs.She did such a great job.  She sings loud enough so everyone can hear her.  Great job Addi.  We love you

Addison Preschool Graduation

May 22, 2012

Addison Graduated from her first preschool on Tuesday the 22nd.  She did a great job.  She loves to sing, and she does a great job in front of other people.  (soooo not like my other two).  She had a part of reading a book.  She did a great job.  She also spelled the color Purple, and told us about a few things that are purple.  She is ready for Kindergarten.  Good job Addison.  We love you!!

Solar Eclipse

May 20th 2012

Last Sunday we got the opportunity to see a Solar Eclipse.  We had been watching the news all week, and found out the best place in the WORLD to see this solar Eclipse take place was in Kanarraville Utah.  Well we only live about 20 minutes from there so we thought it would be fun to go view this event at the best location possible since we were so close.  We bought our glasses the week before at an eye Dr. place for 2 dollars.  We got up their at about 6:30 when it started, and we stayed tell around 7:45.  We heard on the news that the town of Kanarraville has a population of 350 people, and they rented 500 portal-potties for all the people that would be coming to their town.  (I might of laughed a little).  There were a lot of people.  We didn't go into Kanarraville though.  We just got off the exit and found the nearest parking spot.  It was cool to see.  The last time I remember seeing a solar Eclipse is in like 6th grade so almost 19 years ago.  I think the kids will remember this for sometime.
