Preschool Graduation

Ben during his program

Last night my "baby" graduated from preschool. This is the end of an era for us, no more babies no more toddlers or preschool. It is bittersweet. I love that Ben is so independent and can do SO much for himself, though I must admit at times I wish he would still let me baby him even for just a couple of minutes. However, even though he will soon make the transition into kindergarten, he still is a momma's boy and I am going to "milk" it for as long as I can! We will still have our evening cuddling and his want of me to be the one who puts him bed each night and the "little" fight of letting daddy put him to bed or even to let dad cuddle him (which I secretly LOVE). So congratulations my little man and here's to the next stage in your life.

It is official, no more preschool

JUST DANCE by Murray Community Dance

A couple of weeks ago Taylor had her dance performance. This years show was titled 'Just Dance. Taylors class danced to Kermit the Frogs "Happy Feet". Boy did they ever have some happy feet! It was a great dance and the girls did wonderfully.

Katie took the video with her camera, so it is a bit grainy, bumpy and a bit out of focus.

A couple of Taylors cousins, as well as her Uncle Sam who is Johns Little brother, also danced in this show. First was Mikenzie. Man can this girl dance! In one of her dances it looked as though her spine couldn't be connected to her body with they way she can move. It was, as well as the others she danced in, was amazing.

Happy Feet, Taylor the only one not blurry

After "Happy Feet", which Taylor and Elle, Brooks daughter, danced was the dance that stole the show. Taylors cousin Erika danced. This dance had dad's as well as a brother dancing with these little girls. This was such a cute dance, and I think they got the biggest cheers!

4th grade April Fools trick

The fourth grade teachers made this candy and handed it out to each student, unbeknown-st to the students, it turned their mouths blue. The blue only lasted a couple of hours and was a big hit with the students.

Ethan is now 12

Almost a month ago, Ethan turned 12. I could hardly believe that my boy is 12, has received his second and first class merit badges in scouts, is now registered for Junior High, has graduated from primary (I think that excited him the most), and has received the Aaronic priesthood. He is also now doing fast offerings, B.Y.C (Bishop youth counsel), attended his first conference priesthood meeting, as well as various scouting activities. My boy is growing up. I admit I miss the baby/little boy he was but I am so happy to see the wonderful young man he is becoming. I really couldn't ask for a better kid.
