Pre-K Graduation!! etc..

Monday, May 3:

Pre-K Graduation @ Sis Ellingson's home!!

I made certificates for the kids and each kid picked a letter of their favorite field trip they went on, that their parent/teacher organized. Tati chose S for Strawberry lemonade selling stand.. that was a great field trip! the kids got to make money pouches that week and use them to earn money at the stand and they made the strawberry lemonade..good times.

Then we had some fun! The kids jumped on the tramp with the sprinklers. They also played on the fun swing set and merry go round.. although, Tati wouldn't really go on either because she got hurt pretty bad last time on them (when I wasn't there), so she didn't want to go on them again.. well, this time, Hailey got hurt! She got the nastiest splinters in her foot from the merry go round. I was able to get most of it out there, but one was in there good and 3 days later was able to take out the other one.. poor girl, she was such a good sport about it.

At the HopeKids birthday party.. for all kids who have birthdays in March and April got to spend the day at Pump It Up!

It was lots of fun for the girls..also their first time. They surprised me with their t-ball skills as well :)

Tati then got such cute gifts. The littlest pet shop stuffed animal and some littlest pet shop toys.. which she loves! They had some yummy cake too.

I am so grateful for these fun events that HopeKids puts together for the kids.

Jackie and her family came to visit!! We had lots of fun times with them while they were here and Ayla had a little birthday party :) She's already 1!

It was so great to see Jackie and even her whole family came at the end, which was nice to see all of them as well!

The inseparable Avy and Tati

Another wonderful HopeKids event was "Glamour Day!" just before Mothers Day on Sat, May 8th me and the girls had a day of Glamour at this really nice retirement home..it was like a nice hotel! I was thinking I wouldn't mind living there when I'm old..haha!

We had a nice lunch and got our makeup done...

and nails and feet painted...

and hair done too..then, we got our pictures taken.. Hailey didn't get her hair done, cuz she fell asleep and barely woke up enough for the picture :) and of course Tati had a black eye..haha but they got to pick out hair bows and keep them. We also got Arbonne gift bags with makeup and stuff to take home!

Tati got all geared up to ride her bike with no training wheels! very exciting.. she did very well! Hailey also learned to ride the bike with training wheels and was cruising like crazy.. fast learners!
