Flashback Friday

We were looking through the pictures on the computer for an old one of Hannah the other day to add to her birthday post. When we do this, I have a hard time stopping. I want to look at every picture of the girls when they were younger. I wish I could go back in time and squeeze their cute little bodies. We are going to scan in all the negatives from my old camera. Then I will really be in trouble. I wish I had pictures of Susanna and Kerrie when they were smaller. I know they had to be adorable. This one is from five years ago.

Movin' On

Susanna had kindergarten orientation a couple of weeks ago. Her dad had to take her because I was teaching preschool. This girl is ready to move to the "big girls' classroom". She is so excited to go on the bus with everyone next year. I have loved watching her learn in preschool this year. She is very bright and is so eager to learn. Being able to go to all six sessions of my preschool every week this year has really been beneficial for both girls.

Four

Kerrie turned four last Tuesday.

Life is a little crazy around here and we wouldn't all be together at home until 9 P.M. so we had her party at 7 in the morning.

She opened some gifts,

took a spin on her new big wheel,

and ate a delicious breakfast of rice, sausages and fried eggs.

It was a beautiful day. Kerrie shared birthday treats with 2 sessions of preschool. A couple of the girls brought her gifts. Very sweet. It was sunny at recess and she had a hard time keeping her eyes open for pictures. She is still sassy with her eyes closed.

Kiley made her a yummy pink cake.

Happy Birthday Kerrie!

We love you.

Springtime and Funny Preschoolers

We have been having beautiful weather lately. These two girls love playing outside. We have this post (I don't know what it is for) in our back flowerbed. The big girls have always used it for a microphone. I looked out the window the other day and saw Kerrie and Susanna singing away. I like how seriously they are taking their performance.

They also love jumping on the trampoline.

I had two funny comments from preschoolers today. We were out for recess and one little guy was working on zipping up his jacket. I told him his kindergarten teacher would love if he could do that. I told him she would get tired if she had to zip up 25 jackets every recess. He said, "Yeah, it would be better if she only had to do 24."

I was testing everyone on what letters they know this morning. When I held up the card they could kind of see the picture on the other side. I was testing the funniest kid I know and when I held up the letter "c" (picture of a cat on the other side) he said "Meow". The best part was he said it high and squeaky like a real cat.

Teaching preschool is the best job!

Dr. Seuss

Last week was Dr. Seuss week at school. The last day was dress up as a character or Dr. Seussish. We went for Dr. Seussish.

These two do not like to ham it up at all.

We also had a Dr. Seuss day at preschool. Everyone wore pajamas, we watched a couple of Dr. Seuss movies and made these cute Dr. Seuss fish.

Valentine's Day---Finally!

This was before we went to church. What I love most in the world. You can even see Henry in the backyard.

This girl looked way too cute and felt way too sassy not to get her own shot.

After church everyone changed into their casual Valentine's Day outfits and prepared for our family party.

Every year we decorate the table with balloons, candles and Valentine tableware.

We eat heart shaped pizza and drink a red beverage.

Cute Kiley.

Happy Hannah.

Posing Paige.

Lovely Lizzie.

Sassy Susanna.

Kiss Me Kerrie.

After dinner the girls each go on a scavenger hunt for their Valentine's Day gift.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dreaming of Summer

Once Christmas is over I am ready for summer. I am surprised every year at how long it takes to get to Spring. Lizzie and I were looking at pictures tonight of all the fun we had last summer. This picture of Lizzie was from a party we went to in McCall with my family. I hate wishing any days away, but I can't wait for the hot, lazy days of summer.
