Adam's Field Day Fun


Adam's class played tug a war six times and both teams won three times!!

Adam and two classmates working hard to come in third during a relay.

Who doesn't love playing with a parachute!!

Their goal was to get the rubber animals to fly off of the parachute.

The classes final activity was to sit on a board with wheels and push themselves to a basket full of bean bags. They returned to their team and then another classmate would go. Adam's team got 5 bean bags!! Way to go Adam you did a great job :)

Daddy's Crew


I was standing in the kitchen yesterday when Adam requested the camera. Much to my surprise he was snuggled up with his two little ladies!

When I started taking pictures of the girls with their dad the boys wanted in on the action :) This is the first picture of all five "A's" with the "J" behind the camera!!! Double click on the photos to make them larger! Amelia is rockin a great smile.

Adam's February Journal


Adam always has a great journal to read each month. I thought I would share a few favorites from this month with you!

Addison's 1st Day


Addison started Preschool today! She was accepted into the Kyrene School District program. Her teacher is Ms. Pat and she said Addison had a great first day. Addison went to the library and was the official door holder!

Before school Addison wanted to give hugs and kisses to Amelia and Daddy!

Dressing Up!!


Alex came up to me after church yesterday with a handful of clothes. To my surprise they were his sister's princess costumes from the dress up box in the play room!! He was adamant about wearing the Snow White dress, crown and shoes :) Once he was dressed he ran to the other room saying "I'm Pretty!" You might think that he was only in the dress for a few moments and then on to something else right...wrong! He stayed in the dress for a good two hours.

Addison noticed how much fun he was having and decided to join in the fun. She stared the day by being a butterfly. She would jump from the chair to feel the wind in her wings :)
Alex thought that would be great fun!! Have you ever seen Snow White fly??

Addison tired of the butterfly and moved onto a ballerina. Her Grandma bought her a book with positions and Addison takes it very seriously. She doesn't let me skip one of them before moving on to the next page :)

We even had a few superheros over for dinner! We asked Lil Adam if he wanted to dress up and he was very sure that dressing up wasn't for him!! Addison changed into Belle after dinner and Alex had a quick return to Snow White before PJ's were a must for bed :) I am sure that he will love these pictures as much as we have the older he gets!! I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share them with you!
