Jenny's Pre-K Graduation Ceremony: May 20, 2010

Here is the video I said I'd post from Jenny's Pre-K Graduation. Jaime and I are both so proud of her, and how well she did this year in Pre-K! Way to go Jenny!! I pray that you will continue to do well in school, and that God will guide you and always keep you on the right path (even though sometimes it won't always seem like the right one)!! We love you!

Jenny's Pre-K Graduation Ceremony

This past Thursday (5/20/10) was Jenny's Pre-K Graduation Ceremony. For Jaime and I, this was a very important event. Pre-K may not seem like a big deal, but for us it means a lot!

You see, Jenny did really well at school this year. She is the youngest in her class, and she is one of the better students. She is also one of the few students in the class who can tie her shoes. This year at Pre-K has really transformed Jenny. She can spell and write her name, color really well, recognize letters and number, read some small words, write words if you tell her how to spell them, and so much more! She is also a lot more confident, and she is more independent.

It's really sad to see her growing up so fast, but it's great knowing that she is learning so many new things! To know that she did so well this year makes me think that she will be successful in school. The things she does now will effect her future, and I hope that she will continue to excel in school!

Here are some pictures from her graduation, and I have a video coming soon! Her official last day of school is Wednesday, May 26. Only 3 more school days left! Then it's on to Kindergarten!!

Bowling & The Sprinkler

Last weekend was my cousin Andrew's 9th Birthday. Happy Birthday Andrew!! Because it was his birthday, we went out to eat at Monterrey and Cosmic Bowling on Friday night, and on Saturday we played in the sprinkler.

This was also Jenny's first time bowling. She bowled an 85, and she even beat me! Did I ever mention that I am a HORRIBLE bowler?? LOL! Anyway, we all had a great time!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend....

Jenny bowled a spare!

Pirates Cove Mini Golf

Back in April Jaime and I took the kids to play miniature golf. We took them to a place called Pirates Cove, which is about 20 minutes from here. I can remember going to play putt-putt there as a kid! It's set up like a pirate's ship, and even has little streams, ponds, and waterfalls.

We all had a lot of fun! They even gave us a small golf club for Aiden to 'play' with. He didn't use it for hitting the ball though, he had more fun hitting everything else! Ha! Aiden mostly just ran around, and tried to play in the water. I knew Jenny was going to like it, but I didn't know she would LOVE it! She did pretty good, she probably even played better than I did. Ha! We didn't take score though, we were too busy trying to take pictures and chase Aiden around!

Afterwards, we went and ate at Panda Express. I always love eating there. There food is pretty good, and it's always very clean inside.

Here are some pictures from our night....

Easter 2010

Today was such a wonderful day for our family! I couldn't stop thinking about Jesus all day!! Unfortunetly, we didn't go to church this morning. I was up till 5am this morning with a horrible cough, and I was all out of sorts this morning. Thankfully, I am able to watch services from my church online. So, that's what Jenny and I did this morning!


They put on a play called AD33. It was about Jesus, and how he was crucified and resurrected from the grave! It was really great! I tried to find it on YouTube to upload here for you all to see, but it isn't on there. I'll keep checking, and if I find it, I'll post it here.

Jenny watched it with me, and she really liked it! Of course, she had a lot of questions to ask me once it was over. I answered them all the best I could so that she would understand. At first I wasn't so sure if she understood, but then later we went outside and THIS is what she drew....

It's a picture of Jesus on the Cross!!

She also drew a picture of a sad face, and a happy face. She said that the happy face was the blind man that Jesus healed, after he was healed. And the sad face was the people watching Jesus be crucified. She is so smart, and she never stops amazing me!!

The Easter Bunny came to our house this morning, and the kids were both very excited to see their baskets! They BOTH ran to them! Aiden started taking the things out of Jenny's basket, I had to show him which one was his. Ha! Here is a picture of their baskets...

Jenny got: A Spongebob book, sidewalk chalk, a pink stuffed bunny, candy, nail polish (blue, purple, and orange), bubbles, bunny ears, and a chocolate bunny.
Aiden got: A puppy book, a soccer ball, a blue stuffed bunny, candy, bath toys, bubbles, bunny ears, and a chocolate bunny.

After they looked through their baskets, ate breakfast, and we watched the online church service, I took the kids outside to play with the new stuff. That was when Jenny drew the chalk pictures. Aiden LOVED his bubbles, and even learned how to say 'bubble' today! While we were outside, Jenny pointed out two solid white butterflies that were in our backyard. She said they looked like angels. I believe that they were!
We had a great Easter! How about you??

I LOVE MY KIDS! =)

15 Months Old!

Aiden had his 15 month check up last Tuesday. It's hard to believe he is already 15 months old! Seems like the time has just flown by! Anyway, I thought I'd post his height and weight stats from the visit.

• 
  
  Aiden weighs 24lbs.
• 
  
  Aiden is 33in. long.
• 
  
  He is in the 50th percentile for his weight.
• 
  
  He is in the 90th percentile for his height.

The doctors also said that since he is up to date on all of his shots, and overall he is very healthy and doing really well, that he doesn't need to come back for a check up until he is 2 years old. Needless to say, I am a very proud mama! =) They also said that his legs are looking much better. He still has a lot of flexibility in them, but that will probably never go away. So, overall he is happy and healthy!

On a side note.... Aiden fell today at his Grandma's house and hit his head on the coffee table. He had a huge, bruised, knot on his head in a matter of seconds! We put a cold washcloth on it to help with the swelling. We also gave him some Motrin to help with any pain it would cause him. Poor baby! =( I didn't get to take any pictures of it, I was too busy comforting him. I will try to take some pictures of the aftermath tomorrow, and post them here.
