Jaxon's Preschool Graduation

Jaxons graduated from preschool today. He's been going to the elementary preschool for the last two years and has loved Miss Julie. The program was cute. They sang songs and told what they want to be when they grow up. Jaxon still wants to be a doctor. 

Jaxons first day of Preschool

Jaxon is back in preschool this year with Ms. Julie and Ms. Sarah. He loves school and was excited to be the door holder. 

Jaxon's a Preschool Graduate (sort of)

Jaxon completed his first year of preschool at the elementary school. His teachers Miss Julie and Miss Lynette were fabulous and he loved it. The program had the kids singing songs then each child came up and told the parents what they wanted to be when they grew up. Jaxon told us he wants to be a doctor. Afterwards there were TONS of treats. This year jaxon gas been working hard on his speech therapy. He knows his colors, shapes and some letters. He can count to 10. It's been a great year and he can't wait to come back in the fall!

Jaxon starts preschool

Jaxon has started preschool at the same elementary school as his brother and sisters. His first day he decorated a stick figure of mommy and daddy. He was very insistent that mommy had long hair and dad had "mo ai" (no hair). So far he is loving preschool!

Kade's Preschool Graduation

After three years in preschool (we kept him back since his birthday was so close to the deadline last fall), Kade is officially a preschool graduate. Right after the graduation, he asked me " now is it time to go to kindergarten?" He's loved his teachers and his class but he's so ready for the next step (not sure I am though). His preschool graduation was simple. The kids sang songs in their caps (so cute) and posed for pictures. We've loved the preschool and his teachers, Katie and Jolene, who are mother and daughter (Pictures of him hugging them). He's so excited for the future but will miss all his friends and teacher. These last three years, he learned all his letters, numbers to 20, to read short words (mom, dad, cat, etc) and to write his name. He's got a great jump start for kindergarten.

Congratulations Kade!

Kade's Christmas Program

After Kade's Basketball game, we ran upstairs to his last preschool program. He sang, played instruments (the kazoo, bells, maracas, etc) and had a great time.

Kade with his fantastic teachers.

This is with his best bud Dannon.

Grandma and Grandpa Chalmers were able to come too...

 

and we had so much fun watching Kade. 

Halloween Festivities

Halloween Night
For Halloween this year, Nana made the girls costumes and bought the boys. She's amazing and I wish I had gotten some of her awesome sewing genes.

Kylie: Ladybug

Bailey: Ariel

Kade: Frankenstein


Jaxon: Dr. Frankenstein

Thanks Nana for the amazing costumes!

 all the kids...

 

We went trunk or treating with our ward and our friends, the Barons. Then went back to their house, ate pizza and went trick or treating... such a fun night!

 Friday before Halloween
We spent Friday night at our cousin's house for a family dinner and went trunk or treating at their church. It was such a fun night and the first time we've done trunk or treating with cousins!

Friday before Halloween
Kade's Preschool always has a fun Halloween party and program. The kids dress up, pass out treats to each other, sing Halloween songs for the parents and have a costume parade around the neighborhood. 

We ❤ Halloween!

Kade's Preschool Graduation

Kade's second year of preschool has passed. On his "report card" he had mastered everything except waiting his turn to talk. lol. Go figure, the boy loves to talk. He knows all his colors, shapes, letters and can count to ten. We are waiting one more year to start kindergarten and figure it can't hurt.

Kade's Preschool Fieldtrip

I try to go with each of my kids on a one fieldtrip a year. Last year, I wasn't able to go with Kade since his last one fell on a state testing day. This year though I was determined to go to Thanksgiving Point Farm. I loved seeing him with friends. He's a social butterfly and didn't want to be around me much lol. I adore this little guy!

 Storytime...

Preschool Christmas Program

Today was a crazy day that started out with Kade's preschool program. His teachers make such a fun, cute little program. They sing songs and play little instruments.  Its fun to watch.

 With his wonderful teachers. He loves them both!

This is my favorite part of the program. We've seen it 5 times now and it never gets old! They are supposed to be imitating their parents. Who do you think it is, Paul or me? I'm going with Paul LOL.

Preschool Halloween

I've seen the preschool program 5 years in a row and its still stinkin cute! Kade's school is awesome and always does fun things. They get to wear their costumes and bring treats to school, then they come out towards the end and sing some spooky Halloween songs. The kids then parade their costumes around the street. Its adorable and fun to watch. Kade's pirate was awesome!

The class

 Kade in the parade...

Kade's friend (girlfriend maybe yikes?!) that he talks about ALL the time. They were in the same class last year too.

Kade's 1st Day of School

Kade is going back for his 2nd year of pre-school. He will do 3 before kindergarten because of his late birthday. He loves preschool and his friends. This is a new class with all new kids, besides his best friend Amelia. We spent months last year hearing about his "girlfriend" Amelia. We finally convinced him he's too young for girlfriends and now she's just his best friend.  

Good luck in school Kade!

Big Preschool Graduates

Kylie and Bailey graduated from preschool on Thursday. They had a cute little ceremony where they sang a couple of their favorite songs in their little caps. I can't believe my little girls are going to Kindergarden. Its surreal. They're just growing up so fast! They are the sweetest girls, always helping me and just so fun to be around. We love them so much and are so proud of them! 

Their class...

They have some great teachers! We're so glad they had them and are excited for Kade to go there next year!

Preschool Program

Being that Lizzie and Linnie have been in preschool for three years, we've seen their Christmas program before (its pretty much the same songs year after year) but it never loses its appeal. Its just so fun to watch them get more and more comfortable and actually sing. The first year, they played with their dresses, showing the world their underwear (oh yes they did!) then the next year they just sat still sometimes using the props (Linnie more than Lizzie). But this year, they sung most of the songs, used their props and not once did they lift their dresses up! What an accomplishment. I think keeping them in preschool one more year has been so good for them plus they have two great teachers that they adore!A clip of "I'm getting nothing" They do an imitation of their parents being mad.

Too Cute To Spook

I love Halloween. Every year, Lizzie and Linnie's preschool has a short Halloween thing. They have a party at school then 15 minutes at the end, parents get to come, they sing a couple Halloween songs, and do a short parade around the neighborhood. It's too cute and I love it!

Halloween Party at School

For Halloween this year, Lizzie and Linnie's Preschool had a Halloween party and parade. All the kids dress up in their costumes and exchange treats with their friends. At the end of school, the kids come out, sing a few Halloween songs (apparently there are a few) and then walk around the street in a little parade. The parents take pictures and the kids eat it up. Its a lot of fun.

This is Lizzie's class. She did not sing one word in front of the parents. But when we went home, she sang like crazy.

This is Linnie 's class. She made a new friend today (the little girl in the snow white costume) and they held hands the whole time. It was very sweet. She was so excited she made a new friend.Their class had 4 of the princesses: Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Cinderella did not want to be in the picture.

Lizzie and Linnie Start School

This year Lizzie and Linnie started their second year of Preschool. They are getting so big. It's amazing to see the difference from last year. They seem to be picking up letters and numbers so much easier. Its been so different having them in different classes but it had to happen sooner or later. So far every other day, I have to explain to them why they can't go together. But it has been nice to have each one have a little down time while the other is at school. They love preschool!
