Smarty Pants Preschool Graduation!!!!

KODA GRADUATES!!!!

Well Some of you may know, I taught Preschool this year which means I obviously taught my son Koda.  We had such a fabulous year.  I have loved every child, my assistant Nanette and every minute of it.  Thanks to all my Wonderful students and parents. 

I named it Smarty Pants and that is just what they were, these kids were such a highlight every Tues and Thur. we were together.  Man I love those kids.

Koda was adorable and loves his classmates..........

Gradutation was tonight, the kids did great and we had a wonderful turnout

Thanks TONS AND TONS to my Friend:  Miss Nanette, she is also what made this year so great for me.  Love ya Tons.

The Most GRASCIOUS FRIENDS!!!!!!!

So this past friday I got a package in the mail, it was from my good friend Myndee Larsen. She wan't going to be able to see us this year and wanted to send the kids something. In each of these cute bags were the cutest sunglasses ever and a little camera. By the pictures below (kids right out of bed) you will see they were so dang excited. They wore them ALL DAY LONG....Thanks Myndee. Your the Best.

as if that wasn't enough.....

my great friend Katie surprised me while I was gone for the weekend by turning one of my green plants into a beautiful masterpiece.........I love it and it was such a great surprise.

The next day.......

she helped me fix up my hanging plants... wow I have the best friends.  

Thank you so much

Random Things!!!

We have definately been busy............... Over the next couple days I hope to get majorly caught up with my blog.  To start things off Our little Madi lost her first tooth.  Man what an emotional thing, this means another milestone come and gone.  She was so thrilled to have the toothfairy actually come and leave her money, I mean think about it who wouldn't love that............

We took our first trip to the lake.........I actually was so excited I forgot my camera so this is the only proof I have.  Tia loves her goggles and knows just how to wear them.  THIS should definately stop the water from hurint her eyes??????

Next..............Russ has been in some training which means he wears his "BLUES" instead of his flight suit, we all just sat and starred at him he looked so good.  There is something to say about a man in uniform.   EXSPECIALLY THIS GUY

I was honored to be a Chaperone at Madi's fieldtrip last week.  We went to the Springs Preserve here in Las Vegas.  WE had a great time.  I love watching how my kiddo does in a classroom and group setting.  She loves little critters and animals.  We had a great time.

StrAWbErrY JaM!!!!!!!

Yummy Yummy, Well lets just say I have some friends that have gotten me out of my comfort zone lately, LIKE:  Making Jam and Strawberry Pies.  WOAH!!!! AND I have loved every minute of it.  Thanks Becca and Katie.  4 making me a homemaker!!! HEE 

The Kids had a great time helping us, and taste-testing.

Talk about a GREAT spring break and Easter.  We had the best ever...

We celebrated at home prior to Easter so Russ could be with us, they went on a wild treasure hunt and definatley found treasures.......

My Parents neighborhood is soo much fun.  They had a huge Easter Egg hunt.  All the 

nighbors and cousins had a blast.  3 Legged Races and the cake walk were a hit

mainly because KODA and I WON

The above picture is from the Walmart Egg hunt, these three sat talking about which eggs they were going to get first.  What a race it was....

Another Fun Activity we started is planting grass, we were gone for a week then came home to 

MAJOR GRASS....it is so fun, we have grass growing everywhere we even cut it with the 

scissor and it just keeps growing

We played at the park with cousins and got some great pictures, Koda was loving the rock 

climbing and Tia and Joey and Nicholas stuck to the slides......

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST

All the neices were in a photo shoot for Aunt Kaeli's Bridals.  Pettiskirs

everywhere.  They were darling.  EXCEPT when Tia didn't want

anymore pictures, I wanted to beat her but it was a 

little Chilli.  I got some cute pictures of Madison Though, My friend Myndee

with appreciate these of her.....she loves her poses........

ProJectS!!!

SOOO, this is what Russ and I did over the weekend.  PROJECTS, I love getting things checked of the TO DO LIST:  I bought this side table for Kodas Room and new furniture, it was $2.  We stained and sanded like crazy, it's going to look great with his furniture. 

I have had these two cute benches for years, they were finally done for.  So My friend Becca gave me this cute fabric and we recovered the two stools.  They look tons better.  Thanks Becca!!
