Pre-K Graduation

Today was my second pre-K graduation and although I am much more prepared for my emotions this time than I was with Bailey, my heart still hurts a little that this sweet chapter is over. It will be the last time we are at the same school in the same class as lots of our neighborhood friends. I couldn't stay sad with this guy smiling and waving at us.

 He was SO embarrassed to be up there that he never looked up, but according to his teacher "If you are stuck on a deserted island, then he is your guy!" Sweet Ms Stacy, I am pretty sure I need to totally re-stock your art supplies after Blake's art creations this year and buy you a new stapler!

Thanks for being there Nana.

 Can you say twins??

And look at these three carpool cuties.

Thanks CUMC and we look forward to next year's adventure!

Little sister says she is ready for kindergarten too!

 

All Things Preschool

This is our 6th year at Covenant Preschool and our 2nd kiddo to do all 4 years there. I love that the themes don't change & some of these things we are doing for the 6th time. It still seems special. Anyways, this is all things preschool that wraps up the Spring for Blake & Blair. 

Teddy Bear Picnic

Faffey (the giraffe) has been there every year. : )

Blair of course brought her foxes.

Their Spring Philanthropy project was to stock up the church's food pantry.

Rodeo Week

The petting zoo wasn't on Blair's day to go so we joined Blake during that time. 

 

Date with Ms Terri

 Ms. Terri was the aide in Blair's one and two class, until she accepted a full time position around the end of March. Blair really loves Ms. Terri, so we treated her to dinner at Hat Creek for her birthday and got to see her again.

Mother's Day Tea

This is one of the things I was looking forward to the most this year because only the pre-K class does it. 

My mom is as pretty as a wedding. : )

 

 Blake with his teacher, Ms. Stacy.

The Zoo Man

 An animal show with animals you can pet! Can you say heaven for my kiddos!!!

Blair about to touch some lizard.

 Blake holding a hissing cockroach

This popped up on my Timehop and that's Bailey holding the hissing cockroach 3 years ago!?!?

 I love that our preschool includes siblings (& friends of siblings)

Last Day

 We have really enjoyed having Ms. Ginger for our 2's year!

And Ms. Stacy has been perfect for Blake.

More Soccer

It was a great 8 weeks of soccer every Saturday morning, but we were happy to have our Saturday mornings back. When I look back on this season I will mostly think about what fun it is to play with so many friends. I also think about what great grandmothers the kids have as they both were on the sidelines at different games. Here are just some final pictures from the season.

Bailey with Lainie & Josie

Gigi got to come & I could totally see my mom back in her cheerleading days. : )

 

Bailey, Mia, and Morgan with their American girl dolls.

In our second to last game we played against school friend Titus Riedl.

Bailey in action.

 

Team Holland with coach Melissa

I was sad Mia jumped up to Junior Academy level, but since her brother plays with Blake we still get to see her each Saturday.

Nana with Blake.

 

The second to last game for Blake was against all future school buddies & was super fun (both for kids & parents on the sidelines).

The prized participation medal.

We will of course jump back at it in the Fall & we are going to let Blair do Lil Lonestars, which she is so excited to do after a year and a half of just watching on the sidelines.
