more spring festival stuff

Blanca a wonderful friend at the school made this clown to go with my art contest balloons.

Birthday Girl - in her own words

 Did you hear about my bouncy house 4th birthday party?  Well, let me tell you all about it!

 My birthday outfit that Grandma Dawn bought me!  THANKS GRANDMA!  My favorite is my sparkle shoes.  I wear them to bed, too!

 Daddy BBQ-ed.

 Mommy's friend, Amanda made the cake!  SO YUMMY and my favorite colors, pink and purple.

 

I can't hold still.  Ever.

 Most of my friends came.  SO HAPPY!

 Even my favorite Sister Bale came.

 The kids, Agent J and Princess taught us how to play "Minute to Win It".  Thanks Amber for the ideas.  We totally STOLE you party idea.  It was so fun that we want to do it again, but with just Mommies and Daddies. 

I loved opening my presents.

 My friend Katie and her mom, Vicki came too! Actually a lot of people came.  We had 17 adults and 30 kids.  SO MUCH FUN!

My mom really wanted a picture of me in my cute dress up stuff that I got for my birthday, but I just wanted her to let go of me and let me play.

President's Day weekend - A great trip to San Diego for a wedding

 The first thing I did was go to Coronado Island and put my feet in the ocean! 

It makes me happy!

San Diego was beautiful and Phoenix was full of rain.  I felt bad for friend in Phoenix, but I just had to enjoy the time with Travis and no kids.  We took a bike ride along the beach.  OH SO PRETTY!

 We went to church in San Diego and the building we attended had a parking garage in the basement of the building.  So cool.  The choir seats had bench seating.  The whole church meeting was so nice!  I wasn't sure if that was because it was a small size ward that was very friendly, or that we had no kids to watch and take care of during the meeting.

THEN we headed to the wedding later that evening...

 Travis' cousin Mark and Hillary were getting married and it was good to see family we don't see very often.

 Eileene, the groom's mother, and Steve, my FIL and her brother.

 Travis and his mom.

 Travis and his Dad and his sisters.

 The flower girls.

 Maurine, Travis' mom and Eileene.

 Cute flower girl trying to stay warm.  February in San Diego is a little chilly.

 Dan and Sarah, Travis' sister and our closest family to us.  They live in Vegas, baby!

 Pink and navy were the colors!

And there is the bride and groom!

Field Day part 2 - 6th grader

 Princess had a great time with her friends, especially when the 6th grade girls beat the boys in a game of tug-o-war.  This field day was a bit colder than the day before, but we are all so glad that we had field day this year.  Last year it got rained out - twice.

My oldest, Agent J, is in 7th grade and they don't do field day, but they do have a softball game against the 8th graders at the end of the year.  I can't wait to see that!

Field day with 2nd grade

I love field day.  One of my favorite times of the school year.  Simple, yet pure fun. 

L is for lemon

On Wednesday, Sweetie went to co-op preschool at the Bale's and learned all about the letter L.  At the end of the day she wanted to try her lemon.  RHM joined in the fun too. Eww. 

SPRING FESTIVAL advertising begins

 It is the day after Valentine's day and I am hanging up stuff in the multi-purpose room for the festival.  Feb. 15th is also the first home basketball game for our school and Princess is cheering.  For me it means BOOSTER CLUB is in full swing. 

 To say the least, I am busy.  But I had to take a minute to show the art work that was submitted for the Spring Festival art contest. 

 These kids do great work!  I am so excited to see what our kids can do.  GREAT JOB STUDENTS!  

 Just for a little shout out - Amy Joy made the balloons for me.  Blanca hung everything up with me and did the string on the balloons too.  And Vicki made the bow to finish it off perfectly.

 Cute, huh? 

 I also did a death defying climb on a ladder to hang up this "Under the Big Top" sign, but it looks good now.  The picture below is the 1st place winner from the art contest.  She made her picture banner size and rocked it out!

Our school's BIGGEST event is March 5, 2011 from 11 - 4 p.m.  Hope to see you at the Circus!
