Our preschool graduation was on Friday and what a great day it was. I did not shed that many tears (becasue I was crying for days before.) Mac did an outstanding job. He knew all the songs and poems and wasn't afraid to let it be known.
Me and my guy! What a great year we had. He is a fun little guy to teach, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching him grow and progress over the years. I am so glad that I made the choice to stay home and teach him preschool!
Here is the graduate and his buddy. Oh how Ben is going to miss him next year. Although he is certain he is going to kindergarten with his brother. What good boys!

Here is my graduating class of 2008 (except for Benjamin). They worked so hard and did so well. It was a bitter sweet day for me. I was excited for them because they are so ready for kindergarten but I am not ready to let them go. I have had Mac and the two other boys for three year now and I will miss them. They have been a great little class!

We were so excited to have Grandma from Beaver come. She and Danile came and took Abi and headed to the Grand Canyon via train. This was their end of year trip they had a GREAT time!! They returned early and so my preschool class was able to enjoy a great story from Mrs. Kris. Mac was thrilled to have her at his graduation.
Here are our boys getting ready for the three year old end of year program.

Here is the three year old class. Benjamin did so well! I was worried that he wouldn't stand up there the whole time. Mac and his friend Caelan were my helpers. What good helpers they were. It was a great year
Here is our Abi getting ready to run the 400 meter (once around the track). Yep she is lined up with boys. I was a little worried because she had never ran once around the track and I didn't think she realized how far it was. She is little but what a beautiful stride she has.
Here Abi is after the race. She did so GREAT!!! She started off nice and slow just like we had talked about. Then she slowly started to pass people by. She told me she was talking to them as she passed. She would say "See Ya!" she is full of it. She ended up in third place. A very very close second. She is a good little runner I was impressed!

Mac had a great year playing t-ball. Kev enjoyed coaching him (maybe not so much the others) together they were a good team. Mac was excited for every game and wore a smile everytime he was running to base. What a good kid he is!!!!!
Mac did so well, he became a faster runner and a stronger hitter. It was fun to watch him progress.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
We hope all you moms out there are having a great day! What a terrific day I have had. My family gave me Stephanie Myer's new book "The Host" and Trace Atkins new cd. I was so excited. I thought I would have to wait to go out of town to get "The Host" so I was thrillled that Kev was able to find it in Page. What a blessing it is to be a mom and to have such a GREAT mom.

For mothers day we went for a beautiful little hike. This is just around the rim of Page. Once we move it will pretty much be in our back yard. We had a great time!
Abi checking out the view (she was also sulking a little because she was worried about June not being on her leash)
Coming home the boys needed a little lift to make it up the hill.
Our brave little Mac had to have four shots to get ready for kindergarten. He didn't shed a tear. It is hard to believe he is going to kindergarten, time goes so fast!
