Christohper's 2nd Birthday - June 11th

Who is the cutest 2 year old of 2009? CHRISTOPHER! We chose to have Christopher's birthday at the park. The picture below shows his favorite gifts...all of which came from Grandmama Wood; a suitcase, a matching backpack and a little sleeping bag. He looks ready to go!

Is there anyone out there that thinks I made this cake? Yes? Anyone?

Christopher and his cousins (some of them at least!) From left to right; Collin, Stoker, Cosette, Christopher, McKenna, Jethro, Harrison, and Livy.

Collin's AR Assembly

Collin was a super star reader this past year in 1st grade. These pictures depict his well earned 200 point Accelerated Reading sweatshirt. Only 2 other children in four 1st grade classes earned this esteemed honor! Way to go Collin!

This is a picture with Collin and his principal Mr. Page. This is a picture with one of Collin's best friends, Eric! High Five on your sweatshirt Eric!

Cosette's Pre-school Graduation

Cosette attended Bright Minds Pre-school. These are pictures from her graduation. What started out as the most convenient car pool (it's ALL about the carpool) turned into a wonderful learning environment for my daughter!

Cosette and her friend Hailee. So sweet...we miss Hailee so much!

Cosette's teacher Ms. Becky. Mitch actually went to High School with her so we felt very safe sending our daughter to her!

Cosettey's spring ballet recital - Cordoroy

Cosette was a beautiful ballerina in Petite Ballet's performance of the little teddy bear; Cordoroy. After throwing up in the morning and missing dress rehearsal I shoved her on stage (as all good stage mothers do) for the evening performance. She was fantanstic! I can't believe how well she retains dances. She is such a cutie!

"Lemonade" - Collin's 1st grade play

These are photos from Collin's 1st grade play. Collin got to start off the play with the first line! We thought he did fantastic as Jack Be Nimble!

This first picture is of him and the Magnificent Mrs. M (Kendra McLaren). Collin's teacher. We LOVED Mrs. McLaren! I had to show a quick picture of the refreshement table that I was in charge of as the official "room mom."

Super Soccer Star!

Collin did awesome at Soccer this season. I feel like this sport has finally clicked! Of course, right when I think that Collin informed me that he is "done" with soccer. He now aspires to attain his black belt in karate and he wants to learn to play the guitar. Okay, yeah, let me get right on that.

True Idaho Fun

We have to make our own entertainment in sweet Idaho. Including riding around the neighborhood on our version of fun - THE RIDING LAWN MOWER!
