Portland Temple

Last Sunday we took a drive to the Portland temple and walked around and took some pictures. It was a fun Sunday activity and we got some cute pictures of the kids and family.

Blake graduates preschool

Blake finished preschool last week. 

 

Miss Emy and Miss Carol were great teachers. Luckily they live in our neighborhood so we didn't have to say goodbye to them!

Blake's classmates, were all friends from the ward and neighborhood.

After graduation we all had a picnic at the park.

Zoo field trip

I got to go with Brycen and his first grade class on a field trip to the zoo. Here are some pictures of Him and his classmates. Brycen always talks about Ella, the dark haired girl four down from Brycen. For example; "Can I invite Ella to my Birthday party?", or "I told Ella I would give her one of my pirate bracelets."  At the zoo, I didn't hear this but one of the other moms told me that Brycen and Ella said they wanted to be alone to talk. Yikes! I might be fighting off the girls a little earlier than I  thought! Anyway, I just thought I'd document that so Brycen can look back and laugh when he is older. 

Blake turns 5!

Blake turned 5 on May 6th.  He had a birthday party at a place called Kids Club. This was his first friend birthday party and he loved it. The cupcakes were a hit too!

I can't believe Blake is 5.  He has started a collection of legos guys (mostly star wars). He spends hours lining them up, taking them apart and putting them back together. This past year he has gone from hardly knowing his ABC's to reading books! He is also very good at math. I was quizzing Brycen the other day on some addition and subtraction problems and Blake piped in with half the answers! He is so excited to go to Kindergarten. He had to have three shots a couple of weeks ago. I told him he could earn a lego guy for every shot he had to get, if he was  brave. On the third stab he let out a little cry but that was it! I was proud of him for being so brave!
