Last Day of Kindergarten

Brychan's last day of Kindergarten started off on the wrong foot.  Brychan and I fought the entire time getting ready for school (he did NOT want to wear the shirt I was making him wear, he did NOT want to wear his tennis shoes, he did NOT want to brush his hair...you get the idea).  We finally made it to school and I realized that I had left the camera at home (which I am still so upset about) and my phone in the car.  Between David and Lala, we managed to get a few (very blurry) photos and video of what turned out to be an absolutely adorable program.

Luckily, Brychan's mood changed drastically before the program started and he had a blast.  The kinder teachers did an amazing job putting their program together and I had a really difficult time not bawling through the entire thing (disclaimer: I always cry when there are large groups of children doing anything.  Primary programs get me every time - and always has, so it's not just that my son is getting so big.  However, that doesn't help matters at all).

I am so sad that Mr. Fish is moving to a brand new school next year, so there's no chance Kehlton will have him when he's in Kinder.  Fish is a great teacher!!

 So happy to be a 1st Grader!

Ice Cream Party/Last Day of PreK

One of the preschool traditions at Desert Harbor is an ice cream party for the families on their 2nd to last day.  It's only one of two times in the school year that families are invited to spend the day in the classroom, and we always love it!

This year is kind of bittersweet as this will be our last year with Ms. Mellisa.  She taught Brychan for two years and then Kehlton this year.  It has been decided that Kehlton would benefit more from the community classroom rather than the special needs classsroom (he will still get the speech therapy that he needs) so we will have a new teacher in the fall.  We LOVE Ms. Mellisa and are very sad to be leaving her.  Hopefully Jessalyn will find a way to sneak into her classroom when it's her turn for preschool!

Muffins with Mom

Last week was Muffins with Mom at Brychan's school.

And events like these are what I live for.  I LOVE being able to go to all these fun school events with my children.  I just really love being a mom (even when the 18 month old has been screeching for two days straight - thank you new teeth - and I just want to put cotton in my ears to drown some of it out).

We met up with the Carney's (surprise!) to eat our breakfast.  It's a good thing Tiffany and I are friends too; as much as all of our boys are joined at the hip.

Less than 3 weeks of school left.  Can't wait!!
