Graduation!!!

Isabella graduated from pre-school last night. She was so excited!!! She loved her year in pre-school at our church. The program was wonderful! The started with a prayer by Father Lockey after processing into the church. Of course as soon as the program began Isa had to go potty so we missed the prayer. Then Ms. Judy, the music teacher told a story about S.E.E.D.S. and how all the children started as seeds and have all bloomed! Then Ms. Angela led a prayer they have learned in spanish!!It was very exciting to hear all those bilingual children!!! Then Ms. Judy led them in some songs that they had performed in prayer service this year. Believe it or not, from about 10 pews back I could actually hear Isabella during some parts! Then it was time to graduate! The stood on the alter with their class while their teachers handed them their diplomas! After all classes were done they processed out of the church and it was picture and cookie time!!!!

We are all so very proud of our graduate!!!

D.A.R.E. Graduation

Julie had her DARE graduation today. I have to say the essays that some of these kids wrote were amazing!! So eloquent and sophisticated! They understood the impact of drugs and alcohol on their bodies and their lives. It was a great ceremony. JUST SAY NO!!!

Alayna's Mayfest

Alayna had her gymnastic Mayfest during her regular class time Friday morning. It was a FUN day!!! She started out dancing and bouncing on the trampolines chasing balloons. All of the other kids were just kinda standing there but not our little Alayna. As soon as she heard the music she was jammin!

Then they did activities on the floor. She liked doing her backflip and jumping into the pit. On the tumble trac she just kept boucing and bouncing and then off into the pit AGAIN!!! Then it was mountain time!!! She was climbing and sliding with coach Nicki!!!

Alayna got her first medal!! Aferwards Coach Nicki let her go crazy again with the blue inkpad for the stamp!! Then we all went to breakfast with Grama and PooPoo!! Isa stayed home from school so she could watch and play some too!!

Isabella's Mayfest

Isa had her Mayfest gymnastics performance this weekend. The theme was "Welcome to the Jungle!" She's in HotShots this year so Mayfest was a bigger performance than usual. All the girls in her group had to have matching leos. It wasn't as difficult picking them out as we had all assumed. Isa's didn't come in until the week before and of course it was wrong! I had no time to correct it and she didn't have a problem with it so she just wore it anyway. My fear is it won't get worn again. Anyway, she had an audience and was proud that she thought she was the one with the most people there to watch her. Mommy, Daddy, Alayna, TaTa, Grandma Martha, Uncle John, Aunt Margie, Abeulito, Abuelita, Padrino and Tia Erika were all there to see her. She was a little distracted but excited to show off her skills! She did well in all the events and was excited to get her trophy!
