Neighborhood Preschool

For this year, a couple moms from our neighborhood did a little preschool and took turns teaching each week.  It was a lot of fun and pretty easy to do.  However, it did make me have a greater appreciation for those teachers that do it everyday with more than just 4 kids!

 
This was from my last day teaching.  I taped all of the letters to the floor and we danced around them and played different games with the letters.  It was a lot of fun.

And here are the kiddos that were in our class.  Ryder and all the girls.  I think he had fun with them, but I know the girls were a little disappointed when they found out that I didn't have any princess dress ups at my house!

Karate

Conner signed up for a karate class through the city recreation.  He was so excited about it and I loved that it was inexpensive and that we didn't have to commit to a full year of lessons.  He had so much fun and learned a lot.  He decided to perform some of his karate moves for his class talent show.  He did a great job and came up with his whole routine all by himself.  It was great!



This is from his last lesson at karate.  They did a show with everything they had learned, had a fun little party and he advanced to a Yellow belt!

Easter 2012

We spent Easter in Mayfield this year.  It was fun and the kids always have a blast going down there.  It still seems strange to go to Mayfield and not have my grandma there.  There are so many great memories of my grandma and celebrating Easter in Mayfield will always be one of them. 


We had fun coloring Easter eggs.


Conner had tons of fun helping do cows with all of the boys.

At first Paxton wanted to stay away from the cows until Uncle Todd helped him "ride" one of the calves and then that was all he wanted to do. 


 After our picnic lunch, we went out to Easter Hallow and rolled eggs down the hill.  It has been a while since we have been able to go out to the fields because usually it is too muddy.  But we had lots of fun.
