Walking with Dinosaurs

Today we went to the SaveMart Center to see the show "Walking with Dinosaurs". It was a really cool show that brought the dinosaurs to life. Some of the dinosaurs were about 30-40 feet tall. The kids had a great time watching it.

Brooke's First Day of School

Tuesday was Brooke's first day of preschool. This year a few of her friends from daycare are also joining her. Last year Brooke would get teary-eyed when dropped off, but this year she didn't even notice me leaving because she was busy having fun playing with her friends.

Ethan's First Day of Kindergarten

This post is a little late, but here are the pictures from Ethan's first day of school. He really loves school and was "Star of the Week" this past week.

Fourth of July 2008

Here are some pictures from Staci and John's Fourth of July party. The kids had fun swimming, playing, eating the sweets, and watching all the fireworks.

Brooke's Preschool Promotion Ceremony

A day after Ethan's preschool promotion ceremony, Brooke had her ceremony. Her class consisted of 3 and 4 year olds; like Ethan's ceremony, the kids showed us some things they've learned throughout the year. This class was a little more out of control during the performance, but it was fun to watch.

Ethan's Preschool Promotion Ceremony

Today was Ethan's very last day of preschool; next stop kindergarten! To mark the milestone, his class had their promotion ceremony and a party afterwards. During the ceremony they showed us what they would do during the day (prayers, flag salute, flashcard drills of shapes, etc). They also entertained us by singing songs that they've learned throughout the year. Towards the end of the ceremony there were tears shed by the teachers and parents. After the ceremony we had a party outside with a potluck and fun on the playground.

Ethan's First T-Ball Game

Today was Ethan's first T-Ball game of the season (and of his "career"). Ethan said he had a fun time playing the game. Judging from the pictures, I would have to agree.
