Preschool graduation

Hailey and Ashlyn finished another year of preschool. They really loved Ms. Christie and both learned so much! For their last day today they gave us these really cute books of everything they did and gave us a little presentation. For Ashlyn's they showed us all the letters and their sounds, recited the pledge, went over the calendar and the other cute little stuff they do each day. Hailey's class had a mini graduation, went over small words, calendar, pledge - and my favorite - recited the preable complete with sign language from memory. Both girls have progressed so much and I can't believe Hailey will be starting kindergarten in just a few months!

Disneyland!!!

Now that we are so much closer to family in California we used the excuse to visit my wonderful grandpa to go to Disneyland too! It was a quick trip, but we got to do everything we wanted. We spent Friday at Disneyland where we met princesses, fairies and rode everything on our list. We found out Hailey is an adrenaline junky. Once she rode her first coaster, it was all she wanted to do. Ashlyn was scarred by the yeti so she voted for the more animated rides. Bryce was hilarious! He did really good for the morning but by the afternoon every time we went onto a ride that went inside he would just keep saying, "get out, outside." it was so cute. On the Alice in wonderland ride it goes in and outside, which was the funniest because everytime he thought he got out we were right back inside again. The kids were total troopers and made it all the way through the fireworks.

Saturday we made a quick drive to Huntington beach and then spent the day with the Joneses. It was so good to see all the family we missed while across the country. Even though the trip was quick I am so glad we got to see family and the kids enjoyed their first trip to Disney. Hopefully we'll have more to come.
