Spring Concert

Last Thursday, the kids had their Spring Concert. They all sang songs from different countries. It was really fun to listen to the different types of songs.
The Kindergarten was first. Lily was SUPER excited!


Both of their songs had cute actions!



Soon it was Riley's class's turn.


He was so worried we wouldn't like his songs because he didn't really like them.


He had nothing to worry about, of course, because he and his class did a great job!


Finally it was the 4th grade's turn. Zach was so excited about all of the hard work he had put in to this concert.


During their first song, they played the recorder. They sounded great!


The second song had words in Vietnamese, but they did great on that too!


Another concert over.....soon it will be time for Summer break!

We're Going To The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo....

On Monday, Jeff & I went on the Kindergarten Field Trip to the zoo. We had Lily & her BFF Charlie as our "group". =)
They were really excited when they saw this peacock and it let them stand so close to it!


We ran into a few other groups from All Saints while waiting for our group lesson:


Their lesson was on fossils. They got a cup of dirt and they had to look through it to find different things. Lily found a shark tooth!



Lily & Charlie used the zoo key on everyone they could find to learn about the animals and hear fun songs.


I'm glad it's not just my kids who like to pose with statues.....


After lunch we headed over to the petting zoo.


There was a peacock over there too, and it was showing it's feathers off!



We were getting ready to head inside the barn when we saw that you could feed the baby lambs. We got in line and both Lily & Charlie got to bottle feed one!



Then we headed inside where the only things they wanted to do was take pictures on the wooden horse & cow. :0)


By the middle of the afternoon, these two were getting tired! This is what they did in the gorilla area:


After a little rest, they were off again!


This is Lily's class:


It was a fun day had by all!

ABC Book

This is Emma:


Emma is 11 months old.
This is Emma's ABC book, made out of her hand prints:




























This took several days to make and it was easier when Lily was home to help me by taking the papers after I pressed Emma's hand down and to entertain her or give her more crackers in between. :0)
Hopefully Emma will enjoy this book as she gets older & forgets all of the torture I put her through to make it. ;0)

Winner Winner!

Our bank has a cool way of giving back to the community. If you put your child's report card into their drawing, and your child's report card is chosen, then he or she wins $10.00 per "A" and they also give the same amount to the child's school. Well, a few months ago, I put Zach's report card in & his name was drawn!! They had a fun little ceremony yesterday & Zach received a check for $110.00!! He was pretty excited!!


After everyone whose name was drawn received their check, they got together for a group picture with the principals from their schools.


Zach has some pretty big plans for his money. :0)
