Mother's Day

Mom was invited to both of our schools for some Mother's Day festivities

I had some gifts for Mom...

A clay teacup (with a dinosaur on it!)

and a paper - all about her!

Then she went to preschool for a Mother's day social after school

Music Concert

My 2nd Grade music performance. The theme was 'You Got A Friend in Me' with all songs centered around friendship. I even had a speaking part! We sang the theme song and others like 'It's A Small World', 'True Colors', and 'Try Everything'.

The rest of the video files were too large to add here.

October 2017

Some random pictures from October...

Dad was playing with his camera, taking pictures of Kalia and the sunset 

Decorating Kalia's bedroom! 

Mom & Dad went to a David Gray/Allison Krauss concert with their friends, Lindsay & Corey. Their seats got upgraded to the 3rd row!

Kalia found an old neighbor friend at the playground while I was at practice 

My class with our trophy (not sure what it was for...)

Neighborhood garage sale...look what Kalia found... 

Had the Saffell's over for BBQ, s'mores & a 3D movie!

Kalia loves to help me with my spelling words every week 

Me in art class, working on my clay cupcake jar 

Mom took us out to Red Robin after teacher conferences 

Mom went shopping at the Holiday Mart with Gramma, Aunt DeEtta, and Gramma's friends, Kathy & Lu.

Kalia joined Mom on the deck for morning coffee

Kalia was stealing all of Dad's wings...she loves chicken on the bone! 

The Target holiday toy catalog came in the mail...how does every kid instinctively circle all the toys they want?? 

My classroom Halloween party 

Watching Charlie Brown...traditions! 

First Day of School

I can't believe we are back to school already!
We woke up to a beautiful rainbow over our backyard!

It started raining again, so pictures were on the covered porch

Headed out for the 1st day!

My teacher, Mrs. Conley

Kalia's 1st day was a couple days later, so her pictures were outside

and a better smile...

Because this is where we started...she didn't want to wear the dress that was picked out, nor the capris she has on. She's just not a morning person...Crabby Kalia
