Keira had her Kindergarten check up. The doctor's office sets aside a few weeks to try to make the rounds with the physical, the immunizations, and other tests that needed to be done and they make it fun! Each kid gets a box of goodies, a sticker chart to check off each item completed in the appointment, and they get to pick out prizes for being good. Keira got a princess box complete with princess dress-ups. She passed her physical and is ready for Kindergarten. The doctor we saw isn't our regular pediatrician, but he was a great substitute. Keira liked that he was super silly and she now does the same silly face for all silly pictures. What a brave girl!
My Mama Judy came down for a weekend to help me with a garage sale I was having. As a thank you for watching Cooper during our Vegas trip combined as a birthday present, I took her to Harmon's cooking school. We did fondue night! Harmon's grocery offers a variety of cooking classes and it was so fun! I plan to take Rick on a date night soon.
Lexi and Keira celebrated their birthdays at school.
School finished up! We had Circus Day at school. I dressed up as a clown for my class and, if you know me at all, this is right up my alley. I love any excuse to dress out of the norm. I came home with the coolest teacher gift I have ever seen. One of my kids mom's does balloon creations as a side business. She is awesome!! Working at the preschool has been such a neat experience. I have learned a lot about myself, about how to manage children that are not my own (let's face it...that's not an easy feat), and I definitely feel like it has made me a better mother. These little kids were so fun and I never expected to miss them, but I totally do!
The girls also said goodbye to their teachers. I was more sad than Keira to say goodbye to Mrs. White because she is transferring to a new school to be the director there. Mrs. White trained me and basically took care of me as a first year teacher and so I have grown to love her so much. I definitely will be stopping in to see her when we're in her neighborhood. Lexi will only be saying goodbye to Mrs. Covington for a few months because she is now teaching 4 year olds! Lexi is so excited to get her again because we adore her as well.
I got a new calling! I don't teach the CTR 4 class anymore. I really enjoyed teaching this class and felt a little sadness because I got pretty attached to those cute kids. But...I am now in the Primary presidency as the secretary so I get to stay in Primary! Yay! Not too long ago, I was nervous about being called into the Primary because I had little babies and what did I know about teaching someone else's kids? Let me say that it has been such a growing experience for me and probably much needed. It definitely has prepared me for teaching preschool. So I am overwhelmed with this new calling because there is a lot I am responsible for, but I am excited to do my best to add to this Primary!
Gramma Judy had a birthday so the kids and I went up for a night to celebrate with her. Daddy and Grampa Steve were both working so just me, the kids, and the birthday girl. We went to the beach (Cooper's 1st experience...doesn't surprise me that he ate it since everything ends up in this kid's mouth), barbecued, played in the yard and the hot tub, Keira got an early birthday present,and went to the cute petting zoo close by.
Cooper can't leave Gramma's without playing with the tractors. He is such a boy already.
Happy birthday Gramma! We had fun celebrating with you!
Memorial Day weekend - we had to hold up our tradition of camping in the backyard. Just Daddy and the girls this time. Cooper still had a cough so I stayed inside with him. It was a good thing because at about 3 am, in comes the campers to escape the noisy wind outside. The girls slept through it, but Rick couldn't sleep because it was so powerful.
A Rainy Day
Farm Country - more animals to pet and feed. This was the only picture I got. I sort of forgot to pull out my camera. But I thought this was so cute and was glad I documented at least this part of our adventure.
And...I'm spent. Next up, Keira's birthday!
