Our Family is Here for the Summer!

My Cousin Aimee and her kids are here for part of the summer from Hawaii! We LOVE spending time with them! Here are all the girls the day they arrived!

Heidi, Nana Lois (my Dad's Sister) Naomi, Hilary, Nana, Erin, Sophia, Aimee, Ella, Me and Ellee

Sophia, Ella, Hilary, Ellee and Parker (the one with the Transformer mask on)

One of the kids favorite things to do together is to play dress-up......I wonder where they get that from? We will probably have many "Kid" Dance Parties this Summer with dress-up too! Boom Boom Pow and Dancing Queen are just a couple of the kids favorite songs!

Is it Summer Yet?

My little munchkins have been waiting and wanting to get outside all Spring! Whenever the sun made an appearance or it didn't rain (Which it did alot these past few months around here) we made sure to go outside and make the most of it! I believe this was one of the few nice days we had in June. When I say few I mean like a couple!

Jackson and Ellee have been getting along really well lately....sometimes too well and gang up on me:) I have really enjoyed each new stage that they have both been in. Ellee is now full force and wanting to do everything the "big kids" do. Jackson plays with and involves Ellee in what he is doing as well!

So Sweet!

Fence Project Day ?

WOW!

Shawn was hard at work in June building our fence. I'm not exactly sure what day of the project this actually is, there were quite a few. He finished building it, stained it and put up the pergola he and his Dad built together!

I think he did an amazing job! It looks great and now won't fall over when the wind blows, like it did this last spring!

Thanks Shawn and Grandpa!

Now, onto "our" next project........hmmm.......

End of Year Preschool Work

Jackson started reading and writing!

Great Job Buddy!

Jackson's Last Day of Preschool

June 11, 2010 was Jackson's last day as a preschooler!

We are so proud of how far he has come since his very first day of preschool as a 3 year old! We made a few lifelong friends along the way as well.

Now onto.........

Jackson's End of Year Preschool Program

Jackson had a great 2nd year at Immanuel Lutheran Preschool!

We are so proud of him!

Jackson's end of year program was farm themed.

Too cute!

He really loves learning and enjoys school, his Classmates and Teachers. I sure hope this continues! Everyday he tells me something that surprises me that I didn't know he knew or could do. When I ask him how did you know that, he always responds with, my teacher told me!

After the program everyone was invited to stay for an Ice Cream Social. The kids were in heaven!

Jackson & Mrs. Morman

What a wonderful Early Childhood Education experience for my little guy!

We can't believe our baby is onto Kindergarten! Jackson is sooooo excited!

Watch out Preschool......Ellee will be coming next year!

She is going to love it!
