TOO FAST!!!!

Okay, so it has been almost a year....I knew she had grown a bit. It is inevitable, right?....

BUT THIS!!!



I am feeling a little sick right now.




My BABY is growing WAY TOO FAST!!!!!

Last Day of School

Maya had her last day of school a week early this year. We had a Campbell Clan Reunion to go to and so she missed the last official week of school. I also had the last day of helping out in her classroom. Addison and Kai came along to "help".

Maya with her buddies Rachel and Noel during her last lunch as a 1st grader...

The best part of all was surprising Maya at the end of the day with three of her cousins. Claire, Sadie and Kate.

THAT was fun!...

Seriously....

No reasonable offer refused.

Anyone?....

Her feet were also covered...top and bottom, halfway up the leg.

We went to Newport beach to help cheer on Saralyn during her marathon and were able to go to the beach for awhile afterwards and play. It was Addison's first time at the beach and she dove right in....literally. Anthony had to run in after her and pull her out of the water. That scared her enough and she hung back with me for the rest of the time playing in the sand.
After about a half hour...every kid was drenched and covered in sand.

SUCCESS.

However, I was unprepared and
they drove home naked.

1st Grade Music Program

Maya rocked it at her 1st grade music program.

I tried something new this year. I put up "art walls" on the last day of school to help celebrate all the hard work the kids did in school this year. It was a collection of all their art projects. I took pictures of each one so that they would be preserved and then let the kids pick out their favorites to save and tossed the rest. With two kids bringing home loads of art projects, it just became too much to store. It seems to have worked great and I think I will be doing it again this next school year.

Our Graduate

Our little Kai boy is growing up and just graduated from Preschool.
He now has bigger fish to fry in Elementary School.

When I asked him if he was excited to go to Kindergarten his response was "Oh yeah!...Preschool is too easy and BOR-ING."

That's our Kai boy.

Kai with his amazing teachers, Mrs. D'Amato and Mrs. Warner...

Kai with his Nana and Papa...

After the graduation ceremony they had a Celebration Party for the preschoolers with a bunch of games and prizes to be won. Kai was gracious enough to let Addison join in on the fun...

Watch out Kindergarten....Here comes KAI!!!!
