piano recital and talent show

kaylee auditioned to be a part of the school talent show, and made it. i was very proud of her, there is no way i would have ever done that when i was her age. i love how much she has blossomed this year. she played the piano.

her happy smile when it was all over.

she finished up her 4th year of piano lessons with tyra moeller. this is not something that comes easily to kaylee, so i am proud of her for sticking with it.

Happy Birthday Jeffy!

Happy Birthday to best guy I know. He is seriously the best. He is thoughtful, hard working, sensitive, handsome, worthy, and best of all....funny. He can make me laugh even when I don't want him to. I mean look at the picture below and try to not laugh.

Thank goodness he is in my life, I am the luckiest person in the world. Jeffy I hope that you have a great Birthday. You deserve it. Love, Me

field day

jeff was a good sport this year and participated in most of the events so that andrew would. his best friend was out of town and he was feeling a little lost without him. so dad stepped up. i think he secretly enjoyed it.

even will got to do some.

kaylee just had fun running around with friends.

i can't believe it's the end of another school year. wow where did the time go? over all it has been a good year. it definately had its ups and downs, but we learned a lot along the way. i am so grateful for good teachers, what a difference they can make in your kids lives.

square dancing

every year at ladera, all the kids square dance on field day. it was really fun to watch. most kids didn't seem too grossed out at holding hands.

art show

here is andrew and his "colorful tree" oil pastel. he was 1st place in 1st grade. i was really proud of him, he usually rushes through work to finish quickly and he took his time on this art piece. it took us almost 2 hours to finish coloring and rubbing it. here is kaylee's water color "spring blossoms". this was a really fun art project. the back ground was water color, then we actually blew the tree with a straw and tempera paint. it was so neat how it actually made it look like a tree. kaylee won 1st place for 4th grade.

i love art, and i love that at our school, i get to go into my kids classrooms and teach them art. both of my kids are developing a passion in common with me!
