The Last Days of Pre-K {Water Day and Picnic}

The last week of school, Ethan's class had Water Day on Thursday and their class picnic on Friday. We went to both, of course. Elly and I went to just about every single extra thing they did. We even stayed some mornings so I could help with breakfast and Elly would be another member of the class;)

So, Water Day. Elly and I went to the school around 1:00 and met the class outside on the playground. They had a bunch of water toys to play with and everyone was having so much fun!





Ethan walked around spraying everyone:)


Elly and Lucas drawing with shaving cream!


Elly and some of the girls were putting shaving cream all over them haha!


Drying off in the sun


Ice-cream sundaes! 


A friend of mine took this of us at the picnic:)


Ethan with two of his friends Lucas and Kayden (look how much taller he is!)


Ethan with one of his "girlfriends". He walked up to me with her and said in the deep voice, "Um mommy...aren't you going to take a picture of me and Addison?" haha I started laughing! But it was so cute;)


Then Elly jumped in! Picture this 10 years from now...hahaha


Ethan, Ms. Rachel, and Elly!
Ms. Rachel made the class matching orange tie-dyed shirts and she made one for Elly since she was the class mascot;)


Another one of Ethan's "girlfriends" Isabel! She and Elly said hi to each other all the time:)


Ms. Rachel's $2 experiment lol! The kids loved it!

I Have A Pre-K Graduate!

Ethan....my firstborn! The little boy I had when I was 19 years old....just graduated from Pre-K! How does time go by so fast?!? I don't know why, but I have been an emotional wreck about it! I can't understand how he is already old enough to be a kindergartner!! Nonetheless, I am so proud of him!!


This is how Ethan graduated! Each child was called one at a time and were supposed to do a unique dance, anything they wanted, and this is what Ethan did! haha! Break dancing and what looks like power ranger moves maybe? haha! 




His teacher had fruit roll ups with a ribbon wrapped around as their diploma:) 


Eating and watching the video of pictures throughout the school year of the class:)



Getting his gift from Ms. Rachel:)


A sand bucket and shovel filled with so much love! Lots of fun things to do over the summer and things to remember the year:) I cried while looking through it with him, it was so sweet:)


Ethan and Elly:)


Elly enjoying some cake!


Ethan with a couple of his friends, Addison and Kayden:)


Aww...Ethan with his teacher, Ms. Rachel, and Elly of course....she was the class mascot since she was in the class so often;)


Where it all started....What a great year!!



I can't even believe how big he got over the year spent in Pre-K! My baby is growing so fast!!

Some cute things in the gift bucket from Ms. Rachel......






Ethan has really fallen in love with Power Rangers and it's all he talks about now....so I thought it was so sweet his teacher bought him a Power Ranger book (that I read to him right away of course) and his favorite...the Red Ranger...because his favorite color is red;)


The gift for the parents.....how sweet! I love it so much!!!

I am so excited that I have a couple months of Ethan being home for the Summer! But, I am so sad to see that Pre-K has already come to an end! and Kindergarten starts in August!!

Thanks for reading!

Easter 2014!


We had a great Easter last Sunday!

We have been going to a church regularly now for a few months and really enjoying it! It has been so good for us and I love that Ethan and Elly are enjoying it and learning about God as well. 
So, Sunday morning, we went to the 8:30 am service and then while Matt went home with the kids, I stayed for the 10:00 service to help out in the nursery.  This was my second Sunday helping and I am really enjoying it:)

After that service, Matt came and picked me up and then we headed to my parents' house for the day:)


Family picture:) The best we could get haha


Me and the Hubbs lol


So, we spent the first bit of being there sitting and chatting on the back porch. My dad had my phone and said, "selfie time" or something like that haha and we took a selfie! It was so funny!! I think I resemble my dad so much, especially in this picture, it's crazy;) 


That time I sat on my little sister's lap and asked my dad to take a picture of us haha! 


Ethan with my mom!


Dad cutting the turkey!


Mom checking on things;)


Ethan got an air hockey table and a foosball table from them...he was pretty excited!!
Here is Ethan playing with Uncle Brian:)


Every year, my mom makes this bunny cake for Easter, so last year we started the tradition of Ethan and Elly decorating it:)


Uncle Brian soaking up his niece and nephew:)


Mom, Elly, and Ethan with the finished cake lol! Ethan's ear on the right side. He said he made an "AB" pattern!! So smart:)


Here is them the day before Easter 2013:)


I walked outside and saw my dad sitting on the deck with Elly and she was telling him a story about a dog. My dad asked how big the dog was and she did that and said, "it was 45" haha




Then my grandparents came and had a present for Elly (a couple dresses) and they got Ethan the foosball table. 
Here is Elly with her Great Nana posing with her new dress and headband thing lol:)


I think she likes it;)


Giving Nana a hug:)


My mom took this of Ethan on the fireplace hearth:)


I was taking a video of Ethan and Elly's egg hunt, so this is the only picture I have right now from that;)


Before we left, we took a few family pictures;)
