Family Bike Ride

We all got new bikes recently, so we were excited to take them out for a "longer" ride.

Today was a fairly beautiful day, so after church we headed to Orting for a trail ride.

The 10 minute ride took us an hour, but we had fun. Zach is just not to the age of wanting to ride and ride and ride. He prefers to saunter down the trails and stop at everything that looks cool. But Elissa wants to go fast and long, so we split up. I took a turn following Zach while Darin and Elissa took off and then we switched.

Zach trying his hardest to fall in.....

It was fun, but we have to remember the limitations of our kids, especially Zach. We have to go at his pace and enjoy his exploring, while challenging Elissa.

Looking forward to more SUNNY days!

Look at that determined face!

It was one active, wet, fun day!

Moving Up!

Zach has finished his first year of Preschool!

So they had a little "moving up" ceremony to signify moving from the 3's preschool class to the 4's.

Here's our little man!

And here are his little side kicks! :-)

Ready to move on!

Teacher Heidi

Oh, how he is loved!

You are growing up fast!

P.S. These are the teacher gifts I did this year.

I bought vinyl for my cricut and cut out their initials for a summer of "Italian sodas"! :-)

A Look Back - Spring Fair 2007

I ran across these videos and I just had to give a glimpse back to my little girl when she wasn't quite 3yrs old. She has been a dancer/entertainer from the beginning. :-)

Love you my sweet girl!!

Construction Night with Dad

Thursday, 6-2-11

Last week Zach's preschool had an early Father's Day celebration.

They  had fun playing games and making projects.

Is there a cuter boy??!

Here's a little "taste" of the night.

I don't think Zach paid attention during singing class. :-)



The boys.

A fun night for Father and Son.

My Last Monday Play Day

And so glad that it was SUNNY!!

I can't believe that this 2010-11 school year is almost over. The boys last day of school is Thursday. Then they have one more "official" play day next week before the big kids get out on the 20th. Then we have whole Summer of play days at the beach!!

Unfortunately - for us - Brady wasn't with us today. He had a fun day with his Dad.

They started in the sand finding sticks to help them dig.

The water is beckoning....

Oops, Christian's stick is floating (how did that happen??).....who's going in?

Yep, that would be Zach!

Then they were both all in! :-)

It must be noted that Christian would not take off his shoes. You don't want rocks to hurt your feet.

Zach has leather feet. I can't keep shoes on him. LOL!

To top it off, someone had the idea to make the water "yellow" from the dock.

It was a great afternoon and year!

I'm so thankful that Zach gets to have such great friends at this age and just down the street. They are going to have a blast growing up together. Though they may not be in the same class. The preschool teachers have suggested that we separate them when they enter Kindergarten. Imagine that! :-)
