Piano Lessons

Mackenzie had her first piano lesson this afternoon. She did a fantastic job and couldn't wait to get home to practice. Let's hope her enthusiasm continues. We now have a keyboard at home, however I already have plans to get rid of the dining room table to make room for the baby grand!

Mackenzie's Open House

Open House BINGO was a fun way to learn about Mackenzie's 1st grade classroom.

Mason is ready for 1st grade!!

He enjoyed using the pattern block center with Mackenzie.

First Day of 1st Grade

Mackenzie started 1st Grade today. She has a FABULOUS teacher and had a wonderful first day. We are so thankful for all the wonderful friends/teachers who work at her school. They check up on her and make her feel comfortable throughout the day. THANKS friends!

Fearless!

Kindergarten Celebration

Pool Time

Yes, Mason is wearing the pink goggles. We can't find any that fit other than Mackenzies' pair from last year. I'm sure he will appreciate this video when he is older!

Fun at School!

We attended Literacy Night at Mackenzie's school. She taught us how to play many of the games she plays during center time each day in class. Boy, these Kindergarteners sure work hard!!! Talk about early literacy, even Mason joined in on the activities. No one is ever too young to learn how to read and write!

First Swim of the Year!

Mackenzie has been dying to get into the pool these past few weeks. Surprisingly, the pool was warm enough and sorta clean enough for her to swim a few laps. Mason was enjoying the water as well. We can't wait until we have more 80-90 degree weather so we can take advantage of the pool everyday!

A TRIP TO ZION

Zion, Utah's First National Park

Massive canyon walls ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. To experience Zion, you need to walk among the towering cliffs, or challenge your courage in a small narrow canyon. These unique sandstone cliffs range in color from cream, to pink, to red. They could be described as sand castles crowning desert canyons.

April

I finally have a few minutes to post to the blog. I can't believe it's already mid-April. We have had a GREAT month so far. Our visit back to the Bay was incredible. We were able to stay there for more than a week, however with so many friends and family it was hard to spend quality time with any one person. Thank you to all for understanding our time constraints. We loved spending time with each and every one of you even if it was just for dinner or a quick visit, and for some, just a phone call. We had some good times full of laughter and love!

Kindergarten Celebrates 100th Day!

It's a Kindergarten tradition in most Kinder classrooms to celebrate the 100th day of school. I remember teaching Kindergarten in California and celebrating this day. It is fun for students, parents, and teachers. 100th Day encourages the students to count in various ways to 100, by 1s, 5s, and 10s. It's great practice and at any age, who doesn't love making fruit loop necklaces? One for you, one for me!
