Addie's catch up!

Addie had her year end review with dance and did Smashing! She is such a cutie on stage. She has no stage fright and dances her heart out with a big grin on her face. She danced to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and Phineas and Ferb's "Gitchie Gitchie Goo". The costumes are the best part for her. She loves getting dressed up with "mommy's makeup" and I can never put too much on according to her. However I still like to have my four year old look like a four year old dancing so she doesn't get as much as she wants. If she did I would have a drag queen up there dancing :) Here are her adorable pics.

Waiting to go on.















The cute lion.


















The BiGgEsT, MeAnEst ROAR!

















Her Best Cheerleaders! Tennessee was such a good sport. While Addie was on stage waiting for the music to start Tennessee would yell "I love you Addie". She smiled so big it went to her eyes :) What a GREAT big brother!
































After the "hit" performance we celebrated by getting some Farr's ice cream at the mercantile. The kids loved it and Addie was happy she got to keep her makeup on for the occasion (she can be such a girly, girl). It was a perfect night!



Addie also had her Preschool Graduation with all our neighborhood friends. It was perfect with cupcakes, a hat, and diploma. Addie did not like the hat since she had to wear her lion main for the dance recital. I finally got one picture with it on. When they received their diploma they got to stand on the picnic table and recite their favorite nursery rhyme. What cute kids! It's been a fun year!



















Addie and Parker enjoying the cupcakes. They either had a diploma or graduation cap on the top, the kids loved them!

Catch up...Kindergaren Graduation

Whew, so a lot has happened the last 7 weeks or so and I haven't had a chance to blog about anything because at about that time I was called as our ward girls camp director. Well, girls camp ended this last week which means I have spare time on my hands and can FINALLY update my blog, woot! Here are all the details and in probably more than one post.

Tennessee graduated from Kindergarten, Wahoo!! He has had such a fun year of school and learned sooo much. He loved his teacher, class, friends, snacks, books, journals, bus, and....well, everything ! Next year will be very different with Mandarin Chinese, but he is already looking forward to it. Here are some pics of the graduation and end of year activities!


















Tennessee was soo funny through his graduation. First he was measuring all the kids around him showing me that he really is the smallest kid in the class. Then he was making faces to pass the time of all the kids getting their diplomas. Then he was crying and sad because his name hadn't been called yet. Then he was excited and happy when they called his name twice (because he was playing again and didn't hear his name read) to go and get his picture with Miss Ashby and the anticipated diploma. Finally he was happy to take pictures with all his friends and eat all the yummy treats after. What a great day!!














And here's some fun end of year activities.


















The Hula Hooping was Hilarious. I had no idea how good he was, he can move! This was at the Teddy Bear picnic. Dad even got involved, but I think Tennessee whooped him!



















Drawing pics. This is of Buzz Lightyear's galaxy planet.














Field day, acting like a chicken.


















The hoop race.

















And returning from a much needed bathroom break.















I loved going to school and volunteering in Tennessee's class. It was so fun watching what the kids were learning and how they interacted in the classroom. I have been blessed with such a great boy! I am one proud mama, love you buddy!
