Preschool Field Trip 5-09

For part of the 08/09 school year myself and some friends did a preschool in our homes. It was fun but I think we had enough because we did not do it this year! Even though it was a little crazy for me I still really enjoyed it. When it was my turn to teach I had the 6 preschool kids and my 3 younger kids so it could get a little crazy with the twins wanting to join in and if Kiana got hungry and/or tired. It was fun to help the kids learn and listen to their little stories and just get to know their personalities better. For one of our last preschool days we went to Percival Landing downtown Olympia and went up on the tower and then walked on the boardwalk down to the park. I only took a few pictures and I wish I would have gotten a group shot with all of us, but I didn't. Sophia and Vincent were being stinkers about something so they would not join in any the pictures.

Sophia being a stinker!

North West Trek 5-25-09

We took a trip to North West Trek and it happened to be the same day that Kiana turned 10 months. We enjoyed seeing all the animals on the tram ride. Moose, deer, bison, big horned sheep, ducks, a swan, geese, caribou, and a mountain goat. Walking the paths we saw bears, bald eagles, and some other animals that I can not remember at the moment. We ate a picnic lunch and enjoyed our day. Sam and Sophia had fun taking some pictures on the tram ride.

Lacey 1st Ward Camp Out 5-09

We went to Zion's Camp for our ward camp out. We had a lot of fun. I was more comfortable this year than last. Last year I was 7 months pregnant so not very comfy! The kids had fun running around playing with there buds. One frog was caught and many salamanders. The talent show was entertaining. The morning after we had a yummy breakfast and devotional. The kiddos swam, played at the park and Chris took them for a row boat ride.


One of my favorite pictures. Sophia was giving Turner
drinks of the hot chocolate they were sharing.


Sophia and Turner, best buds! Hot chocolate and
graham crackers.

Back yard swimming and Princess dress up in May

We have a little pool that attaches to our slide. This was the first time we set it up. The kids really enjoyed it.

Trying not to get to wet


Here is a little Aaron and Vincent dress up time. They really like to dress up in Sophia's stuff. Just recently got them some knight outfits with swords. I will have to get some pictures of them dressed up in those outfits. They seem to like the new stuff but Aaron still really likes to dress up as Cinderella.

This was a lesser version of dress up back in Sept. of 08'

This was also Sept. of 08'. Vincent wanted to wear this
hat every where. He has since moved past it.


Goofy!

Sam got his face painted for the first time at a friends

has always refused. This was a big deal for him.
