Kindergarten Graduate 2012-2013

Wow how times flies....Our little kindergarten is now a 1st grader! Today was Kaylee's last day of her first school year!
What a great school year it was too! We love Hinkle Creek Elementary and LOVED LOVED Mrs.Freeman and Mrs.Smuckers!
Kaylee passed with ease of course....its beyond amazing all she learned in 9 months. She can read, knows simple math, spells and writes! Looking at all her work from the year from start to finish was amazing...she grew so much! She ended the year reading a level above whats expected, writing at a 1st grade level and just being a super smart and very willing little girl!
To end the school year Kaylee's class got to do the announcements at the beginning of the day! Each day a few from class would go down..introduce themselves of the speaker, do the pledge of allegiance, Hinkle Creek pledge....and Kaylee's day just happen to be the very last day of school...so cute and what a great way to end school for her! I'm sure going to miss those kids, class 151, both teachers and my little girl being in Kindergarten!

We ended the last day with icecream at Dairy Queen with Jenna one of Kaylee's bestfriends this year, Valerie, Lil Cody and Haley...love that we made great friends this year!

We are so beyond proud of you Kaylee......you are such an amazing little girl! Love you so very much

Kyle's First haircut

Today Aunt Ceca trimmed up Kyle's hair for the first time! We've been waiting and waiting for this, he has the cutest curls and we didn't want them to go! However his hair is getting crazy somedays and we knew eventually we'd have to anyway! So Ceca reluctantly cut it...but she only trimmed it up a little so he still has some curls especially on humid days! :) YAAY He did pretty well for being sleepy and boy does he look cute!


After pic soon to come!

Cool Creek Field Trip

Today was so much for for all of us....Kaylee last field trip of Kindergarten!!! We went to Cool Creek Park today and had a blast!
Jason and I volunteered, we had three girls in our group...Kaylee, Jade and Lucy! The bus ride was fun, its been forever since this mom and dad has been on a bus! hahaha This was a day for all six classes of Kindergartners to just have fun... that's a lot of 5-6yr old!
We started off with a game of bingo...nature style....the girls did awesome, found a cricket and butterfly to make a bingo!
From there we went into the nature center for a few stations! First we learn about turtles, then checked out the viewing area for birds, squirrels and such, then a couple crafts(painting paws prints/colored leaves), story time, lunch and ended the day with a little nature walk! We learned what flowers show when squirrels, butterflies etc... will be out! We learned of trees, different plants and how to stay on trails to preserve nature! Then back to the bus for another fun ride back to school.

Author...Kaylee Roberts

Tonight was young author night at Hinkle Creek.....and we loved it!
Kaylee and her class have been working really hard for months now on their first book...written with illustration!
My word were all these books so cute and they all did such a fantastic job! Kaylee's was The Park...a story about going to the park with her friends. She even dedicated to her brother...is she not just the best sister! We ended the night with a pancake dinner for the kids hard work!

Another tooth fairy visit

After O 4 months of being loose, Kaylee finally lost her top front tooth! I was at school to day with her in the morning and it was still there..we picked her up later in the day and that cute smile was even cuter minus a tooth! She said she pulled it out sitting in class! hahaha My word does she look so cute missing that tooth! Her other front tooth is loose as well, wondering when it will come out!



And we can't forget today was Daddy's birthday...Happy Birthday to a wonderful father and husband!


****Tooth fairy visited Kaylee $5 for another lil tooth!

A day at Marco's Pizza

Its Marco's Pizza field trip day.....and what fun! The class learned how pizza's were made start to finish and then make their own personal pizza's from start to finish! Kaylee's class had so much fun and loved getting to watch and take pictures of their fun time! Kaylee did awesome and her pizza was yummy....cheese and bacon!

*Again I feel so lucky I get to experience all these fun times of Kindergarten with her and be so involved, its a dream come true for this mommy!

Lil Guy BIG temper

Our boy might be little but let me tell ya the temper he has and the fits he throws! hahaha They are BIG!
At 16months Kyle is doing great, growing a bit(HAHAHA)physically but in all other ways he's just exploding with growth!


His temper for one is huge, its so funny to watch him get mad, scream really high and toss whatever may be making him mad! Sometimes us but usually its a toy not doing what he wants it to do! :) Here is a look at him today mad!


He is climbing on everything his little legs can get him on.....he is now climbing up the rockwall steps on the playset all by himself and going down the slide....he LOVES it and is so proud of himself! He loves basketball and just being outside all together!


He loves to eat...oatmeal,pancakes,toast,cereal,hotdogs,chicken,ravioli,broccoli,peas,peaches,pears,banana,apple...and the list goes on and on....his all time favorite though would have to be greenbeans, he'll eat those over anything and lots of them!
He is sleeping great again just a 6am early bird...but he'll play in bed for a while before we get him up!

He's getting so big too quick....its so amazing to watch!
