Our Family

I know..I know...preschool graduation seems a little funny, but I actually thought after it was all over, that it probably doesn't hurt to promote "graduation", even at this age. Besides, the ceremony was basically just pictures and then they all got to go to our pool for a pool party! We did a home preschool this year, by switching preschool between three different homes. Mikaya and her friend Dalton got to participate the last month, which they thought was cool. Avery is now off to kindergarten in the Fall, which is somewhat heartbreaking for us. I'm sure she will have fun, though....I had a blast in kindergarten!





Curtis took the girls to learn about rockets at an ASME activity at the park. Avery waiting her turn to set her rocket off into the air. I love the miss-matched outfit that she picked out to wear. It works.


Mikaya learning how to make a rocket, half filled with water, blast up into the air with pressurized air.



Playing a dress-up game for Avery's B-day.



We love our sweet and passionate little Avery! She is so creative with her artwork, imagination, and loves to learn how to do new things every day. We are always amazed at how much personality she has....never a dull moment with her around! We are so happy that Heavenly Father sent her to our family!


I know the picture is blurry, but I loved how it captured how much Avery loved her new "Care Bear" nightgown from G & G Minton.


A thank you note for Grandma & Grandpa Sandi and Paul!



One of Coral's sweet cards. She always out does us on this!



Five little cakes for a five year old. We each had our own, which was quite a bit bigger than a cupcake. So basically, I don't know how, but we pretty much ate the equivalent of a whole cake, minus the part Avery ate before we cooked it!



Yaki Soba, Avery's favorite dinner! Actually, all three kids asked for it for their own birthday dinner.


Helping to make her own birthday cake. How mean of me.....actually at this age she loved it, especially since she got to sample it before we put the egg in it.
