First day of Preschool

M has been dying to start preschool ever since CJ started last september. So since CJ goes to free public school, I decided to put M in at the preschool at the community center. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 12. She LOVES to paint. I love that the painting mess stays at school too.

Here they are bright and early!

The big preschooler.
Sunshine loves the mommy and me time when big brother and sister are away at school.
At first she did not want me to leave her, but then she saw the painting table and she was happy. She usually brings home at least 2 paintings a day.

Little Artist

CJ loves Yo Gabba Gabba. Here he is drawing some of the Characters on the white board.

First Day of Extended Kindergarten

CJ started a new extended kindergarten program today. It is every day from 8:05 to 1:25. The best part about it is that it's free! Extended kindergarten is basically a program to help children get ready for kindergarten. Children with birthdays between December 1st and February 1st qualify for the program.

He loves his new teacher, Miss Grady, but he says he misses his old teachers too.
The class is decorated so cute, and Miss Grady is a really cute teacher.
After his first day of school I took him and his sister to Disneyland. I really wanted to tire him out! We had a blast on Autotopia. We usually can't do that because we have a baby with us.

The Weekend

We went to Saxon and Dane's birthday party this weekend. CJ loved the bounce-house. The girls loved the swings. We also made blueberry pancakes which were a hit.

Loving the pancakes!

So happy!

Happy Birthday CJ!

CJ is 5. Crazy, how did this happen so fast?

We Love Daddy

Daddy is fun.

Last Day of School

This was CJ's last day of school. He loved his teachers. He is about to start a new school through the school district to get him ready for kindergarten.

M the Artist

M loves playing play-dough. She made a happy face all by herself.

"Mommy, look what I made!"

Guitar Geek Festival

JB, my dad, and some friends went to the Guitar Geek Festival in Anaheim. It is a great event and is now it is a tradition every year.

Little Sunbeam

I can't believe Miss B is a Sunbeam. She has a December birthday so she barely made the cut off. All of the older girls in her class kind of take care of her. It is really cute. I love peaking on her during primary. She is actually really reverent and sits still the entire time.

Here she is on her first day of Sunbeams, bright and early for 8:30 AM sacrament meeting.

She has good style too. Here she is in her ballet outfit skating the ramp.

River New Years Trip

We had so much fun shooting with our new guns that we got for Christmas. We also used some of Billy's big guns. I have never had so much fun at the river.

Packing some heat.

Shooting with Billy's rifle.
Loving his remote control boat.
If you look closely you can see there is a little surfer being pulled by the boat.
