Bailey's Kindergarten Open House

 Bailey had her first ever open house last night. She was beaming all day, super excited to show her family all that she's been up to this year.  Kindergarten was my favorite grade to teach, I loved seeing the growth of the students from the first day they walked through those doors to the last.  Bailey has made such growth this year, and it has been so much fun to watch as a parent.  We are so proud of what a strong, independent, loving little girl she has become.

Bailey's First Field Trip

Bailey had her "first ever" field trip to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands.  When Bailey first hear about their trip, she actually asked me not to go, since she wanted to do this on her own.  After a few minutes, she then decided she really wanted me to go along.  About 10 parents asked to go, so they picked out names from a hat and I was one of the 4 who got to go.  We had a great time exploring around the wetlands, that are just 10 minutes from our house.  We even saw a snake on our nature walk, something I could have done without!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was filled with fun and relaxation.  We did some stuff around the house, had lunch outside, and had dinner at our house.  It was just a pleasant day, just what I needed! 


Bailey and Raif played all morning together, so peacefully!

Mommy Night at Preschool

Raif's preschool had its annual Mommy's Night last week.  We enjoyed planting a plant together, some delicious ice cream, and Raif showing me around.  What a special treat!

Raif

Raif is going through a bit of a rough time these days, everything doesn't seem to be going his way.  The 2's have nothing on the 3's.  We had one of his worst days, followed by one of his best.  After the latter, we enjoyed a treat at his favorite place, Yogurt Land!

First Bay Day of the Summer

We had our first bay day the other weekend, it was a bit on the chilly side, but we still made it work!
