Last day of preschool and 1st grade

Thomas and Noelle had their last day of school on the same day so it was a busy day.

We started it off with the last day of preschool for Noelle.

Noelle had a great year. She has really blossomed. Last year she literally wouldn’t talk to any of the kids and would only speak to one of her teachers. This year she has made some good friends and absolutely loved her teachers.

 

Thomas also had a great year. He did great on his report card. He made some great friends

Christina came to visit

I got a call not to long ago from Christina’s husband, Matt, saying that he wanted to surprise Christina with a visit to California. I obviously jumped on that! She hasn’t come to visit since she moved to Idaho three years ago. I’ve been so excited for the last month and several occasions just wanted to call and tell her but I didn’t. Matt and I did a great job at keeping it from her until three days before the trip.  

Thomas was thrilled that Christina was going to be here to go to his baseball game. He was just a little boy and just learning to play baseball when she moved away so this was very special to him.

Karly was cracking me up with all of her funny faces. She’s just to cute.

We had a fabulous weekend with Christina and can’t wait for her to come back soon.

Mother Lode Round Up 2012

Since Kelly had to work this weekend we decided to celebrate Mother’s Day next weekend. So, mom and I decided to take the kids to the Mother Lode Round Up. It was hotter than I think that it has been in a very long time but the kids had a blast. I hope we can do this again next year. We stayed downtown in Sonora so we wouldn’t have to walk to far for the parade in the morning.

The kids watched the horses and band members walking down the street before the parade started.

Then we just walked around the corner just in time for the parade to start.

         

This parade by far was the longest one I have ever seen. The kids had a blast even in the heat!!!

After the parade we went and had lunch at Grandma’s high school.

                 

                    

Then we went back to the hotel played some games and took a nice nap. We finished up our weekend with with an ice cream cone.

             

Game Ball

Thomas has had a hard baseball season. The pitching machine has not been his friend.  He’s gone since March without a single hit. He tries so hard and never complains about striking out. We’re in May now and he finally got his first hit of the season. The look on his face was priceless. He was so proud of himself and his coach made him feel so good when he got on base.

He came home with the game ball and a whole lot of confidence. Here’s to a much better season.

Good Job BUG!!!!!
