First Camping Trip of the Season!

Finally!  It's camping season!  

 We had a great time!  The kids swam in the river...

 And we all got new squirt guns, so there were a lot of squirt gun fights!

 The kids played at the park as well.
They thought it would be funny to bury Chase in the sand.  

 We roasted weenies, and made s'mores...

 Had such a busy day that Chase fell asleep right at the camp fire.

Great weekend!  So happy Summer is here, and we can camp our hearts out!  :)

Farewell PreSchool

Chase on his last day of PreSchool

June 2012

 Parents and siblings came in for the last half of the class.  We all sat together as their teacher read to us.

After that we did arts and crafts.  The kids made their own puppets.

Olivia loved spending the day playing with the big kids.

 Chase and I made treats for him to pass out to his teachers and classmates.

 For his teachers: You are O-"fish"-ally the best!

 For his classmates: Hope your Summer is a real treat!

I loved Chase's teachers, and I could not have asked for a better experience for both he, and I, as his Mommy.

Beauty Day

We decided to 'style' Olivia's hair today.  

First we blew dry it...

Then we straightened it.
It has grown so much, and I wanted to see how long it actually is now.

I couldn't believe she sat there so patiently, but she did.  And her hair looked so cute straight!

Her usual untamed curls and waves, definitely suit her.  

But it was fun to see her with a different look.

 My little fashionista!  Beautiful on the inside, and out!

We were very proud.  :)

The Lorax

We took Olivia to see her very first movie, in the theater!

'The Lorax'

April 16, 2012

Olivia wore her Lorax shirt, and brought her Lorax stuffed toy along.  :)

 It was such a cute movie!  The animation was amazing, and we saw it in 3D, so it was that much cooler!

Flashback:

Chase's first movie, June 29th, 2010.

We saw 'Toy Story 3'.  Another terrific movie!

 Chase also wore a Toy Story t-shirt, and brought along his Buzz Light Year action figure.  

These were both such special days for me.  I love getting to be with them, and share in all of their first experiences.  It's like being a kid again.  Makes me so grateful to have them both in my life!
