Grace Kids

Parker's 1st day of Grace Kids Mommy & Me Pre-School. The day started at 9... and ended at 12:30pm. Whew! LONG morning, but soooo FUN! .
Our time was filled with songs, center time, introductions, mommy time (food!), learning the letter "Aa", snack time, recess, group pictures, learning the Fruits of the Spirit (patience), crafts & LOTS of hugs! We can't wait until next week...

Update...

OK, I haven't blogged in awhile, so here's a little update for you of our end of the school year/summer.

In May, Joel got to go to the Vegas Supercross with his dad & brothers, we had all 3 children dedicated to the Lord at Shadow Mountain Community Church in San Diego (our home church), we got to be apart of celebrating my sister Yvonne's graduation from Dental Hygiene School as well as our sister-in-law Eva's master's program graduation, we went to Disneyland with my side of the family for 4 days and enjoyed a "stay"-cation, and lastly, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary! We also finished up MOPS and AWANA.

In June, we started the month with an amazing Marriage Conference in Pasadena (no kids for the weekend!), we started registering for Fall activities, we finished our kindergarten school year, we had 2 weeks of swim lessons, and 1 week of Vacation Bible School. Let the summer begin!

In July, we felt like we were on one big vacation! We started the month by going to Hume Lake for the 4th of July weekend, found a new surgeon for Hayley's hernia, enjoyed Mountasia (our Family Fun Center- miniature golf etc), the boys spent 3 days with my parents in Ventura, spent 9 days at Lake Powell on a houseboat with Joel's side of the fam, went to Magic Mountain, celebrated Parker's BD and had 4 yr. old pictures taken, and finally, went to Solvang for 3 days with my sister Yvonne.

So far in August, we have gotten home from Solvang, had Joel's cousin stay the weekend with us, saw some old friends who were visiting from Texas, shopped for school, celebrated Joel's BD, started school, had Hayley's epigastric hernia, had Grammy stay with us, we've gone to Travel Town and tonight I finish my Women's Summer Bible Study.

Whew! Is that enough catching up for you? I didn't even mention the random doctor's appts, play dates, times we met my parent's for dinner, pool times and yogurt runs we made! :) Hope you all had a wonderful summer. Cheers to getting back into a routine!

Parker's 4 year old pictures

Next week my BIG 4 year old will be starting Grace Kids... a mommy & me preschool that meets once a week. I am very excited to make new memories with my little guy. They do grow up SO fast!
