Claire's graduation

The best preschool teachers anyone could ask for!

All Claire cared about was her flowers!

Claire and her mini me!

Claire graduated from preschool on Wednesday. They had a fun little ceremony where they sang some songs, then they presented their diplomas to them by announcing what the preschoolers thought made them special. It was really cute! Then they got to eat pizza and play at Pojo's! What a great way to end preschool and start kindergarten! I do have to say that Claire had the best preschool teachers ever! She is more than ready for kindergarten- and I am ready for her to be at my school. I can't wait to see her shining smile walking down the hall or the look on her face when she is learning how to read!

Last day of school...

The last day of school for Garrett was May 29... He was so excited to have summer, but is going to miss his friends. This is the part of taking the kids to my school instead of their neighborhood school. Although he has lots of friends at school, it is harder to have play dates with them since we live so far away. But in all, he had a great school year, learned a lot, had fun and became a fantastic reader. He even got a perfect attendance award! This was not because we tried... it just happened! Some kids really strive for this and get really down when they are sick or have to miss a day- I can honestly say, we didn't TRY- we just had a healthy year! Now onto 2nd grade! I think I am more excited than him!

Congrats Kiera!

My favorite pic of Claire and Kiera!

The baby camel I wanted to take home... I am sure no one would notice!

Claire and her new best friend, Megan!

Claire and I went to Oregon to my niece's graduation. We had so much fun with my brother and his family. We went to a cool "drive thru" zoo, went to a movie, went bowling and went to Kiera's high school graduation. It was such a nice relaxing trip with just one child! I don't know why people have more than one!:) My other niece, Megan, was so nice to Claire the entire time! She played, slept and ate with her- I don't think Megan left Claire's sight! It was pretty cute- but I am sure Megan got tired of her new attachment. In all, we had a great time, and we are so very proud of Kiera!
