Madison's Spring Sing

Madison also looking wonderful for her Spring Sing at preschool.....matching the flowers so well.
Sitting with one of her friends from class.

Posing with Mrs. Crapo, the assistant teacher.

And with Mrs. Mullett, her teacher.

What a great year she had at Pre-K!

More Jackson....4 months

One night before bedtime, we laid Jackson next to each of his siblings for a brief "good night" visit. He looks scared here with Jason....
And still maybe a little scared of getting squeezed to death by Carson.

And maybe a little more relaxed with Madison.

Then we took him downstairs and gave him his first cereal...which he enjoyed while making a mess!

Carson's Spring Sing

At the end of preschool there were 2 spring sings....one for the 3 year old classes and one for the pre-K classes. Carson loves getting all dressed up so it was no problem getting him to wear his "Easter" suit for the occasion!
He was all smiles coming into the sanctuary.

And still all smiles once seated on the stage. I was so happy to see him up front as I was able to get some great videos of him singing.

And here are the videos....

Mother's Day 2011

Church days are a little crazy trying to get everyone ready and out the door so we captured a mother's day picture right after church.
Then later after a little rest time we headed to Great Falls Park....a favorite place. I used to hike there all the time and Matt and I spent a lot of time hiking there before we got married. But on this day we just went for a short walk to see the rushing water of the Potomac.

Playing in the rock cut-outs and enjoying a snack.

Mom and all the little ones! I'm so blessed.

A little climbing for the kiddos.

Pre-K Mother's Day Tea

Right before Mother's Day I had the privilege to go to the Mother's Day tea at Madison's preschool. The kids were all dressed up and did a few songs for us before we enjoyed some finger foods. Here Madison is singing "Oh be careful little..."
A nice close up of Mom and daughter.

Presenting a planted flower to me...

And a card....

Another shot of mom and daughter.

A quick picture of us afterwards at home.

Jackson....4 months

At 4 months, Jackson was already a chunker....15 lbs. 4 oz.....

Here he is waiting for the doctor at his check-up.
And daddy loving on him a little later in the day after receiving a few shots.

Field Trip to Homestead Farm....Strawberry Plants

I had the privilege of being a chaperone on Carson's field trip to the strawberry patch. We got to go on a hay ride to see the strawberry plants and had some time to visit with the farm animals.

Carson is on the far right in this one....next to the two golden retrievers...for whatever reason they're more interested in the farm animals than Carson is!

Momma goat and baby.

On the hay ride.

His teacher, Mrs. Crown.

After visiting with the animals and taking a hay ride, each child got to plant their own strawberry plant to take home. We actually got a few small strawberries off of it....we'll see what happens next year.
