4th Grade Fieldtrip

Last week I went on Landon's fieldtrip to the Wildhorse Wind Farm &Wanapum Dam.  The wind farm tour was interesting & the kids all seemed to enjoy it.  Unfortunately because of security reasons at the dam we were only allowed to see the museum & the fish ladder that had no fish going through it.

Trampoline

Last weekend we got a trampoline & it's been hours of fun!!  Dailey loved helping Justin put it together, actually she likes anything that she is able to help either of us with.

All of these pictures are of Dailey because Skylee won't jump on it without me holding her & it's impossible for me to get a picture of that! :)

Grandma's 80th Birthday

On April 28th my Grandma Rhodes turned 80 & we got to celebrate her with a surprise birthday party.  Grandma is a lady that loves to be surrounded by people, especially all of her family so when she walked in & saw everyone she was brought to tears.
In her 80 years of life she was married for over 60 years before Grandpa passed in August 2008, raised 7 children, watched many grandchildren grow & now gets to watch her great-grandchildren grow.
She is a compassionate lady whos hugs & kisses are always followed by "I love you", she likes to hold hands & always has a smile on her face.

Happy Birthday Grandma, we love you!

Preschool registration...already?!

Many things have taken place lately that have made me realize how quick Dailey is growing up.

The first thing is that tomorrow we have preschool registration for Dailey.  Mama is sad & Dailey is beyond excited!  After I explained to her what an exciting day it will be tomorrow to get to meet all of her new friends & that Skylee & I will be going with her she told us 'No mommies, no little sisters & no fathers need to be at school with me tomorrow because my teacher will take care of me.  School is just for big girls so you don't need to help me.'  I don't need to help you?!?  Since when has she got big enough that she doesn't need my help with everything?  Then, when we were getting her ready for bed tonight she demonstrated for us how she is going to get out of the car & run inside to see her friends.  I hope tomorrow goes a little smoother because she fell down while she was showing us tonight!
