Preschool Field Trip!!

Joslyn got to go on her FIRST Preschool field trip, she was able to ride a BUS and everything. She was SO excited. They took the Preschool class to the zoo for the day, so, Luke and I meet her at the zoo. The kids have 2 High School teachers with them all day. So, I just got to hang back and relax, they took over Luke too...:0) The kids were given a clip board with a paper that had some animals on it, when the kids saw the animals, they put a dot on the picture. Once they found them all they had to find Ms. Blatner, and she gave them ZEBRA cakes. It was fun seeing them run from animal to animal.

We came around the corner and saw this peacock with it's feathers up. What we didn't realize we were standing in between him and the lady Peacock her was trying to impress. Peacocks can make a "MEOW" sound really LOUD, to get you to move. The kids thought it was really funny, well, until it charged them out of the way. 

DON'T MESS, WITH A MAN ON  A MISSION TO IMPRESS THE LADIES!!!

The zoo brought out a Llama and an Alpaca 

for the kids to pet, THEY LOVED THAT!!!

Joslyn made me laugh, she was putting the duck food at the tip of her shoes trying to get the ducks to eat off her shoe... look really 

close at her shoe pictures and you can see the food. The 

top right picture is her and her well deserved ZEBRA cakes.

Rylee's New BMX bike.

I forgot to post Rylee's NEW BMX bike. We have been saving for her to get a bike. At the place she rides they have rentals and she would always rent this specific bike. The bike fit her really well and she LOVED riding it. So, after practice one night, Boomer surprised her and went and bought the bike, instead of turning it back in......SHE WAS SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!! We almost have all the gear she needs, we just need to get a chest protector and she will be COMPLETELY protected and ready to RIDE!!!

Playing At Daddy's Office!!

Boomer actually had a local Demo day, so about 30 minutes before take down, we went and let the kids hit balls. They of course LOVE going to his office to play. I told Luke we were going, so he went and got on his "CALLAWAY" golf shirt. You have to focus and get serious about all this golf stuff!!! He grabbed his club and we were out of the door!!

The only hard thing is going to these Demo days, is there just isn't enough balls :0) Luke will hit and hit and when the balls are all gone, he then runs on the driving range grabbing all balls in a 10 ft radius to him. LOVE IT!!!

Goodbye, PRESCHOOL!! Hello, KINDERGARTEN!!!

Joslyn had her last day of Preschool today. She woke up and sobbed till her ride came to get her. Such a bitter sweet day. She goes to Preschool at the High School, so besides her friends she has made, she had 2 days of goodbyes to the different classes that help her each day, 110 students love and hug on her within 2 days. It has been such an AMAZING experience. I took my camera the last 2 days so, she could get pictures with her favorite people.

HELLO, KINDERGARTEN!!!!

Our Strider Rider!!!!

Rylee has been riding and racing BMX for sometime now and LOVES IT!! Boomer was working late and Rylee has practice on Wednesday. So, I decided to take her. We (Luke, Joslyn ans I) were watching Rylee practice. When the announce called all the Strider riders to the half point mark on the track and let them ride. Luke, who happen to bring his Strider, we did forget his helmet, but he wore his sisters BEAUTIFUL purple and pink flowered helmet...(I know, I know) His first race and he looked like that :0) 
I asked Luke if he wanted to ride, he turned to me with THE BIGGEST SMILE and said, "YES".
I was texting Boomer the whole time squealing with excitement that he got to ride the track. Thank goodness, Boomer was almost to the track and only missed his first time around the track.
We got some great footage. The first time around I was kinda being a LITTLE protective..and Luke kept telling me, "Mom, LET GO OF ME"....He raced the track 5 times and got better every time. The funny thing is Boomer and I took turns running with him and we BOTH about collapsed at the finish line :0) We need to work on our CARDIO!!! :0)

Luke is on the orange KTM Strider in the back.

Here are some pictures of Rylee...

(she is on the green bike on the end)

Here are some great footage of the event. Boomer and I are just laying our hand on his back, but he is doing everything else...we had to help him up the hills a few times, but, other then that he was doing GREAT!!!

On the video with me, Luke totally to the last hill by himself,

 it was so EXCITING!!!

For those who don't know what a STRIDER is..it's a bicycle with no peddles. They learn how to ride walking themselves around...it teaches them balance. It's basically bypassing the training wheel stage.

Our Baby Eagle

Joslyn goes to the Preschool at the High School. SHE LOVES IT!! Their mascot is an Eagle, so they call the Preschoolers baby Eagles!!! The Preschool class performed at a High School assembly!! SHE WAS SO EXCITED. She got up in front of the whole student body of kids..I don't know if she was scared, she just did little action, until she had to jump and she did that REALLY big. It was very cute!! Here is a video of her performing.

Easter 2012

We had a fun Easter, very laid back and relaxing. Saturday we spent the day making Eater eggs and going to a community Easter egg hunt with some friends.

Sunday, the kids woke up to that CRAZY Easter Bunny pooping all over our house :0) they had to follow the colorful poop from there bed side to there Easter baskets (bags this year )......I know it sounds disgusting, but, the kids love it!! There Uncle Blaine started the tradition last year and they said we had to do it every year!!! We then went to church to enjoy the spirit of the TRUE meaning of Easter. Our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a great day!!!
