Family Picnic and Kids Fair

We had quite an exciting weekend. Friday was the family picnic for preschool at Freestone Park. One last chance to play with our school friends until next year.

Then on Saturday we went to the Kids Fair at MCC. Brailyn was signed up to be in the fashion show put on by the Fashion students. She was so cute. She wasn't scared at all, although she just wanted to jump on the stage to hear the loud thump and then look at her shadow on the big screen! There were all kinds of games to play and vendor booths. We even saw the T-Bird mascot. And Brailyn won a t-ball set in the raffle. I think I was more excited about FINALLY winning something!

I didn't get any of her during the actual fashion show because she kept moving around! But she wanted to get back on the stage again.

Water Day at Preschool

Today was the last day of Preschool. We're going to miss it this summer, but we are excited for next year (hopefully we won't be living too far away). The kids got to have a Water Day. Everyone wore their swimsuits and we had fun playing in the wet sand, down the "water slide" and just getting wet. Miss Amber made a yummy fruit salad (we brought the apples) and we finished off the day with dancing to "Splish Splash". We loved our teachers and the friends we made!

Teddy Bear Picnic

Today at preschool was a very fun fieldtrip. We had a Teddy Bear Picnic! All of the kids brought a favorite lovey (Brailyn brought Big and Little Minnie of course)and we had a little parade with strollers and wagons to the grass area for our lunch. Then we had stories about bears and a game of t-ball. Grandma even came with us. We will miss preschool over the summer, but we are so glad we have made such good friends and learned so much!

Brailyn the Ballerina

This summer we are going to put Brailyn in Ballet class at the Gilbert Rec Center. She loves to dance and is really excited about being a ballerina. One of her favorite things to do is dress up in her Fancy Nancy tutu, rip the cushions off the couch and bounce/dance/twirl to classical (Ballet) music. And sometimes she gets Momma to do bubbles for her (the Gymboree bubbles that last FOREVER). I love having a girl.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game...

Last night Daddy and his friends took their kids, the 3 and up ones, to the baseball game. It was lots of fun and a late night. The kids had a great time cheering with the pom-poms and just being with their dads. I think Brailyn liked being with her buddies too.

Update

We are now the proud owners of 6 little chicks. Clint built a big chicken coop on the side of the house. So if you want some fresh organic eggs, come on over!


Brailyn LOVES computer games. Especially Mickey's Clubhouse. She's getting pretty good at her computer skills. We're getting an old iMac from my folks with lots of cool reading/math skills games. She could be on the computer all day if I let her. Gets it from her daddy:) and don't you love the hair! That's the one not so great thing about curly hair. Tangles.

First Fieldtrip

On Friday Brailyn's preschool had their very first field trip to the chicken coup on campus. It may not have been very far away, but the kiddies sure loved it! We started off the morning with the typical free play and painting until it was time to walk on over to the chickens. Momma helped with the painting station:)


The kids were able to pet and hold on of the chickens, gather eggs (and a couple of them threw them on the ground!) and feed the chickens.


After the chickens we looked at the goats and horses (which I'm wondering if Brailyn was sort of bored of- just looks like Grandma Shanda's house...)

then we headed over for our picnic lunch. Of course the kids had fun rolling Miss Rochelle down the hill in the tunnel!


For a first field trip, I thought it was great. We love preschool!
