And then it was a Beautiful Butterfly!

1st Grade Field Trip

Jackson's 1st Grade Class went on a field trip to the zoo. He had so much fun with some of his friends from class. I also had a great time watching them all together since I volunteered to chaperone.
 

It rained while we were there....actually poured!
 Luckily we didn't let any rain slow us down!

 

 

Ellee's End of Year Preschool Program

Ellee's preschool year came and went so fast this year!

 Here we are ready for the End of Year Program.

She still has a couple weeks of school before she's done for Summer!

 

Here she is on stage, in her element!

"Hi Mom!"

 

Ellee had a very important job at the beginning of her program. She never even mentioned she would be holding the American Flag for her class.

FROGS!

We are very proud of how far she has come this year and look foward to one more year for her at Immanuel! Way to go Ellee!

Nana came and Ellee couldn't have been more excited!

Proud, proud Mama!
I Love you Sweet Girl! 

Mrs. Beirman, Ellee & Mrs. Peterson 

I LOVE the preschool memory books the teachers put together for all their kids and families! It is such a great way to remember their first school experience!

These two pages in her memory book AMAZE me and I absolutely love them both!

 

Jackson's 1st Grade Music Program

This was Jackson's very first Music Program for Elementary School.
It was all about the weather.

Jackson even had a speaking part that he didn't tell us about, go figure!
"The average temperature for Puyallup in the Spring is 64 degrees farenheit."
He did a great job!

He basically did all the motions, but we didn't see his mouth moving all too much while he should have been singing:)

Happy Birthday Daddy-O & Uncle Ryan!

Oh the famous "flex off"
Shawn triumphed over Ryan for the second consecutive year.
The record stands- Ryan: 33 years, Shawn: 2 years

The shirts always come from their Sister, Katie and her husband Brandon.

Ryan's got that crazy look in his eyes again....

While the Dad's were flexing the kids were wrestling Grandpa!

Not sure who won this match! 

Ellee's 5th Birthday BBQ

We had a Family BBQ to celebrate Ellee turning 5.

Both sides of our Family came, so that ment 4 Grandparents, 8 Aunties and Uncles and 8 Cousins!

 We had a really fun day celebrating our sweet, little girl!

Ellee decided that she wanted a Littlest Petshop Party.
Here are all the Little Pets!

Happy 5th Birthday to You Ellee!
You bring so much happiness to our Family.
 Here are just a few......smiles, laughter, cuddling, singing, dancing, dress-up, silliness, make believe, hoarding of toys, messes, your hugs and kisses and your prayers at night.
YOU ARE A VERY SPECIAL GIRL!
WE LOVE YOU! 

Birthday Celebration at Preschool

Ellee was very excited to have a Birthday Celebration at her Preschool. She got to be the helper of the day and even bring in little Birthday treats for her friends.

There were even a couple extra so we could enjoy them at home too!
