K's last day of pre K

K's last day of pre K, originally uploaded by dt.designs.

This is a photo of K on her very last day of pre-K. It is hard to belive that she has already completed an entire year. She had a great year and made some great memories. I am so excited to see the challenges she will face in the future.

more photos of the past few weeks....

As promised I am gonna take some time and post photos of the last few weeks. Things here don't seem to be slowing down, but we are having fun!

K had a play day on the last day of school. She had such a great day. One of her goals all year was to conquer the monkey bars. Although she did not accomplish this goal she never gave up all year. She can do three monkey bars, but is still fearful. I am really proud of her sticking to it and trying everyday.

They had lots of fun stuff set up for the kids to play with. Here is K playing in the tunnel.

They went fishing.

As you can see she had a really good time.

All these pictures were sadly taken in midday sun, which is so harsh. If you have any tips on how to improve shots that have to be taken like this leave me a comment. Thanks.

So much to post-This week is gonna be catch up week

I want to start by praising my husband for giving up his vacation time and our money to take me to spend the weekend with my baby brother. Jeremy not only drove our family 7.5 hours both ways, but he did it happily. He made sure my brother (who is just starting out and getting his own place) ate well while we were there. We had a good time seeing Keith and seeing his new home. We met his lovely girl friend and her family. Her family is great to my brother and I was extremely glad to see that. The trip was a blessing and with out darling hubby we wouldn't have gone.

Here is Keith and Brittani, she graduated high school this weekend. Brittani is beautiful and very sweet.

I really wanted to get more pictures of them as a gift, but with the busy schedule they both had it just never worked out. I have to admit I was extremely bummed about it. Keith assures me they will do it when they come to visit us.

So anyway that is that and now I have to move on to my weekly chores here...Menu Planning. I will get more pictures up during the week...we will have to play time warp and go back in time so you all can see some of the events of our trip and the days of K's pre-k experience. I know you are on pins and needles. :)

Okay so menu planning....
