A preschool grad!

The last day of preschool was filled with fun! The kids had a party at the Anthem waterpark. I got to go with Connor . . . so fun to be with him and his friends.





That night Connor's preschool put on a sweet little graduation for the kids that will be entering kindergarten in the fall. The idea of "graduation" seemed kind of cheesy to me, but it really was fun to see how big he has become. Amazing!





They asked all the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up . . . after many cowgirls, princesses, and racecar drivers . . . my kiddo answers with a firm and enthusiastic response of "I want to be an ASTRONAUT". So funny!

And, you will be so proud to know that I didn't even cry . . . until I got home and chatted with Jon about how excited he is to grow and learn. They were happy tears, but also "how have five years gone so fast" tears. At least I know I am pathetic!

Preschool Mother's Day Tea

Connor's class put on a sweet Mother's Day tea last Thursday. What fun! We snacked on fruit and breakfast bread and Connor even served Anderson and I yummy juice. What a sweet morning!





They made those cute flower pens and decorated a flower pot as a present, but my favorite gift was his interview about me. Some things were right on . . . he does know my favorite color to wear, for sure! (You can click on the picture to read the list.)



The other moms and I were laughing and comparing our lists. I invited them all over for a fun afternoon of watching commercials and washing dishes! I am such a party animal, I know!!! I love Connor's sweet perspective!

Our Birthday Girl!

We celebrated Kyndall's first birthday on Saturday with a "sweetheart" party! She was quite the party gal . . . she loved the people, the bubbles, the balls, the presents, and the cake! What a treat to celebrate all that she has brought to our family in the past year. What a sweet blessing she is . . . we are so thankful!




Watching Anderson make bubbles!

Playing in the pool of balls! So fun!

Girly presents! Something new at our house for sure!


Another AUNT JEN masterpiece! Beautiful and delicious!


She thought the cake was yummy!!! She started picking at it right away.

I love birthdays!!!

Technology . . . WOW!

I am sitting on my computer tracking Jon's flight back to Phoenix tonight. He has been gone since early Tuesday morning . . . and I am so excited that his plane seems to be on time to land in about an hour! Yay!

His plane is blipping (okay, I realize that may not be a real word) across the map and the computer is telling me the altitude and direction. He is apparently almost over El Paso. Isn't it amazing that all that info is available?!?! The plane seems to be slightly off course . . . maybe I should text the pilot and let him know he may need to correct that. Ha! I am easily thrilled, I know!
