End of February

So close to the end of February, Cambree and her good friend Marley and cousin Ava, decided to do a sale. What did they sell? Oh, you know, water. And it was so windy that almost every cup had dirt in it. Ya- they didn't sell too many, but hey, they were thinking at least :)

 In preschool we were doing a dental month. We had a local dentist come talk to the kids about their teeth and going to the dentist. The kids loved it.


 This was the project for February in preschool. The kids were asked to decorate their hearts with things they loved.

 Ridge took up wrestling for a bit. He LOVED it! The only reason he stopped was the start of baseball season.




Brecklynn's horrible accident and Valentines Day

On Valentines Day in the middle of preschool, I get a call from another mom in our ward. The elementary school had half day that day, but because it was a holiday, I still held my afternoon preschool so we could still have our party. 
Well Brecklynn had learned to ride her bike only earlier that week. She rode her bike to school that day. After school, her and Ridge were going over a curb and Brecklynn somehow turned too quickly. She went over her handlebars and landed face first. The blessing for me was that because it was a party in preschool, I had other mom helpers in class. This allowed me to break away for a second to go get her. The other blessing was that these moms knew who I was and had my number and were there for her. 
I arrived and she was still on the ground bleeding pretty good out of her mouth. Upon inspection, we noticed that her top middle tooth was missing. Then we looked further and found her bottom tooth missing. Luckily we found both teeth on the cement. But she was in a lot of pain. 




Look at that tooth....that wasn't meant to come out for some time. She had quite the impact to get it out. Her teeth next to the ones she lost were very sensitive too. We were concerned she would lose the others or they'd go grey. They never did. 
 Brecklynn was such a trooper. By that evening, she was laughing and being hilarious. Never acting like she had just gone through his horrendous experience.
 This was Valentine dinner. We made heart pancakes, and had orange juice and milk in goblets.




 Then the kids went on little Valentine scavenger hunts to find their goodies.






 Part of my present this day was we got trees in front finally!!!


 Brecklynn didn't want to put her teeth under her pillow until she showed her teacher. Her teacher gave her these cute teeth containers for her to hold her teeth in. Sure made her day.




2015 Jan-February

So here we go again in the attempt to get these posts up to date. We are starting back in January and working just up to Valentines in this post.

For Valentines, we made special little magnets with the preschoolers pictures on them for their parents. I loved how the background turned out. 


 Brielle was so tired one day after preschool, she fell asleep in the cart at Walmart.
 And she found some makeup....isn't she gorgeous?


 Curtis and I got called to the little Sunbeam class right before the wards split. It was fun to be these little girls teachers for that time. They are HILARIOUS together. This is Brylee Ferrin.
 For Brecklynn's Kindergarten class, we did a valentine bulletin board. I think it turned out pretty cute. Each kid made a Bee Mine bee.





 Brecklynn had to make a large Valentine for her concert. She actually participated in her part. I was SO proud of her. She did so good.
 She's in the bright pink and sparkly heart shirt.


Of course GG made it to her performance.

 The girls had fun doing their valentines. This was Brielle's first time doing it herself.


 This was at the Valentine party for preschool. These two are hilarious. Junie's brother was in a horrible accident where he burned his hand in hot water. So her parents were over in the valley for over a week. So we helped take care of this girl and the rest of the family. Seriously SO cute.
