May 23 Baby Shower for Robine'

This last weekend I had a baby shower for my sister in law Robine in Wichita. She will be induced on July 6 unless she goes in to labor earlier than that. She is due on the 8th of July. We had a lot of fun. We played a game in which everyone had to guess what kind of food was in the baby jars. Charlie cheated by opening one of the jars. Robine didn't like the smell too well. It was Turkey, yum yum. We also got to see a mama duck with her "10" ducklings in the little pond out front of her folks' house. Kids enjoyed watching them.

May 18 Preschool Program

This was Zach's last year in Preschool. There were 20 out of 23 preschoolers at the program. They have a program followed by a pot-luck. Another parent and I joked about finding someone to come with next year because of all the great food! Zach towered over all the other kids. He's so tall. Of course he had to wear his shorts with his BOOTS! The first picture is some of Zach's classmates. Atleast 3 of these girls will be in his class, the one in yellow and the other two on the other end. Paige was the one taking some of the pictures. She did pretty good.

May 17 Girl Scout Ceremony

Paige had a ceremony for Girl Scouts. She received her badges from her cookies sales along with her certificate. She was the second highest in cookie sales. Their group did great! There were a couple girls missing in the picture. It was a fun year.

May 6 2009

Wow, I am finally caught up. Now I can put some happenings in for May. The kids started off with their Spring program. Unfortunately, my battery died so I only have a couple of pics. The kids did a nice job. They actually changed the program this year so it wasn't a repeat of all the songs they usually do, Thank GOD! LOL The picture of Zach is what Paige took at home before the program. The other two are of Paige with her classmate Jamie.

April 2009

April brought the coming of Easter. Gma C sent lovely flowerpot hats for Zach and Paige. Aren't they cute! Kids enjoyed coloring eggs and then finding them. Zach was going to town on eggs. We had to boil more so the girls could color more. He helped me put glitter on some of them. They enjoyed the City Easter Egg Hunt. Paige is standing with her friend Jamie.We went to Wichita right before Easter so the kids got to see Bayleigh. They were have fun pulling their pj's up to their chest. Goofy kids. One day I got to take care of my great niece, Kasira, while her parents went to the movies. She was enjoying an oreo cookie. Of course I gave it to her when she was getting ready to go home!! He he he Aunt Maria didn't have to clean her up! Paige had a pic taken with the neighbor girl-Riley. She's going to be in Zach's class next year. The end of the month (April 21) was a joyful event of Paige BREAKING her left arm. She was racing the neighbor boy on the scooter and fell off. Of course mom was not around when it happened. Thankfully, she didn't have to have a hard cast. It was called a 'greenswitch' break.

March 2009

Well unfortunately, I must not have taken pictures in February. But here are some March pics. I couldnt' resist getting a pic of Zach peeing by the school. He had to go so I told him to go around the corner. We spent St. Patrick's day at Monument. We enjoyed playing down at the school. Also, Paige's friend Allison stayed the night at our house before spring break. Pictures of the two are so cute when they are not fighting. Zach's pretty much the same height.

January 2009

Wow another new year. I had a couple of cute pics of the kids sleeping. They are so funny. Paige is wearing her daddy's shirt she confiscated during Christmas. It kept her warm at night. Zach had his hand on his face. On the 18th both the kids had fun playing with Paige's makeup. Oh yes, PRETTY BOY Zach is going to have so many blackmail pictures when he gets older. I couldn't pass up the pictures of him painting his toes! Again they were in the tub. We have fun with bubbles!
Paige was also able to participate in some Tumbling. A local gal had tumbling every Saturday for 5 weeks. They performed before a wrestling meet. Zach didn't want to do it.

December 2008

Zach's preschool had a Mommy & Me night, so we got to make graham cracker houses. YUMMY Paige didn't like the idea of her not getting to go. On the 14th they had their Winter Program. They did a great job singing. This is Paige's class posing for a picture before the program. This year for Christmas Paige and Zach got to spend it with their Dad and Nancy in Denver along with Gma/Gpa C, Uncle Greg, Aunt Darcie and Rylan. They had a wonderful time. Zach really enjoyed staying at the hotel! They still talk about the cameras in the ceiling! Zach wants to stay in hotel whenever we go somewhere! He's too funny.

November 2008

The beginning of the month had Paige getting her hair cut. Wow it was long, but she donated it once again! She enjoys being able to do that. On the 12th Zach lost his FIRST baby tooth. On the 18th he lost his SECOND baby tooth. Paige was pretty excited. The other picture is of them playing around. We were in Wichita for Thanksgiving, kids were out playing in the street. Paige enjoyed riding Robine's old banana seat bike. Zach was mad because there were no boy bikes! Oh well, he had fun anyway.
