Great Day Open House

We are very blessed to be part of such a wonderful preschool. Allie LOVES going to school and has amazing teachers. We wish they would open an elementary school because we would stay there forever if we could!! Last week, was the long awaited Open House, where we get to visit at night (this is a huge deal for Allie). She has been talking about it for quite sometime now. Last year, since it was our first year there, we did not know what to expect but it is totally casual and a fun time for families. So this year Grandma and Paka joined us too! Allie had a great night showing us around her classroom and playing with her friends. Paige had a great time too. She wishes she could start school now, but we have to wait another year! We had a great night and love Great Day Preschool!!!

Got Chicks?


 Uncle Scott does at the feed store. We stopped by Higby's to get a few things for Murphy and Jack and the girls loved seeing all of the baby chicks. I just happened to have my camera so snapped a few pics. I thought Paige would freak out, but she loved holding the chicks and even kissed one. Allie was excited to see them, but not so excited to hold them! Happy Spring!!





Mornings with Paige

On the days Allie has school, Paige gets to call the shots and do whatever she wants. On Monday morning, she wanted to be an artist and paint a few masterpieces. When she was done painting she was the nurse to all of her babies with a real "checkin scope" (stethoscope) . She is following in the footsteps of Grandma Ganne and Great Grandma Ruth (Geoff's Grandma). She loves taking care of her babies and does a great job.





Crazy Weekend with Grandma and Pa

Last weekend my parents were in town and they were on the run from Friday until Sunday! Friday night we went to dinner at Red Robin to celebrate Pa's birthday a few days late. Allie even made him a special birthday crown with tons of glitter....but we didn't get a pic. 



Saturday Allie had a T-Ball game bright and early. This was the first time for Grandma and Pa to see Als so it was exciting. She loves having a cheering squad to root her on!



After T-Ball we headed over to Davis for Allison's gymnastics performance. Her group did an Alligator Dance.  I am getting used to my little camera (still love my Rebel, but sometimes it is hard to juggle so I have an Elph but need to hold it steady) so sorry for the blurry pics.  P was a trooper cheering on her big sis! Girls went down for a nap then we all packed up and headed to the bay area for my cousin's husband's 40th birthday party. It was a fun, but very busy Saturday!



 

 We couldn't just end on Sunday without doing anything, so Pa went swimming with the girls before they hopped on the plane back to Portland. We had a great weekend and can't wait to see them in next week for Paige's birthday!!
