1st Day of Pre-K

The day has finally come.....my baby is going to big-boy school. Today was his first day of Pre-K. He was so very excited this morning! He sang all the way to school about how cool Pre-K would be. I didn't cry today, but I know next year will be a different story.....

A Day at the Splash Zone!

We've been planning to get to the new waterpark all summer and finally made it today! Needless to say it was lots and lots of fun! Joshua loved the water slide and even went down the big water slide several times. We left the park with Joshua still saying, "please just one more time on the slide".

Hard working daddy

On the days that Joshua and I are home together, Ronnie usually comes home to some plotting and planning:

As I mentioned in the last post, Joshua is about to begin Pre-K which means that he will have a new teacher. His teacher this past year, Ms. Marie, has been wonderful. She is truly a blessing to the school and all of the kids. Joshua has learned so much this year and loves school. He will miss Ms. Marie, but she will always have a special place in our hearts.

Growing up

A few months ago, Joshua's class made poster boards shwoing some of their favorite things. Joshua and I went through pictures and picked out a few of his favorites from the beach and soccer. He wanted to include a picture of our family and our church and some of his favorite books. He drew some of his favorite things too: a christmas tree, a robot, and a whale. For a finishing touch, Joshua added a few Lightning McQeen and Batman stickers.

Since the end of the "school year", Joshua has been bringing home a lot of his crafts and projects that were made during the year. Yesterday he brought home the poster board.

Not that I'm emotional or anything, but in a few weeks he will be starting Pre-K. It seems just like yesterday that we took him to school for the very first time. Although I've always known he was growing up much too quickly and I say it often, sometimes it's just a slap in the face! A dose of reality sets in.

Joshua is my little sweetie and he will tell you that he is my baby and will always be my baby. :-) I have a feeling I need to record him saying that so I can play it back for him in a few years. Right now he is perfectly content being my baby and that is perfect with me. He also says that he doesn't want to grow up. I just laugh and say that's okay baby, mommy doesn't want to grow up either! ;-)

The end of the soccer season

It seems the season just started, but it too has passed quickly. It was alot of fun this summer. We had a team of great kids and parents! And our coach was pretty cool too! :)





After the last game, we had an awards ceremony where the kids received trophies and medals.



They were all so very excited and proud (and the parents were too)!
