Gymnastics

Sara's current passions include gymnastics.  She began teaching herself and continued to love it.  She completed a gymnastics camp this summer and found out that she still loves it.  She will begin regular lessons this fall.

4th of July

We were able to enjoy the 4th of July with family and friends.  We went to Bobba and Nine's.  Uncle Nate, Aunt Anne, Kelsey and Carson were all in town.  Our kids loved seeing them and playing with them.  We also celebrated Carson's second birthday.

Jonas' Preschool Graduation

Jonas finished preschool this year.  He loved being in our co-op.  We had such wonderful friends.  We honored all the students that participated by talking about what we noticed they did well this past year.  Man, am I going to miss having Jonas home all day.  I am so proud of how much he loves to learn, his zest for life, his love of others, and his readiness to start something new.  I have been so blessed teaching him.  I have also been so blessed by the rich friendships and support that have come from this co-op.       

Sara's Field Day


Sara's class finished up the school year with a field day.  They played, ate food and had a water balloon toss at the end.  The whole family was able to participate.  It was fun to see all of her classmates and teachers.  We had a great time!!     

Sara's FIrst Grade Teachers

Sara was able to participate in the Multi Age Program at Paddock this past year.  She really loved being with 2nd graders and having the various experiences offered in this classroom.  Her main teacher was Ms. Sutherland (she will have her again for 2nds grade).  Grandma Sands was an assistant int he classroom.  Mrs. Jeppesen was Sara's math teacher and sometimes reading helper.  Sara loved all her teachers.  We feel so blessed taht she has had such wonderful teachers!!     

Callie learns to Swing

 

Callie absolutely loves to swing.  Whenever we went outside she would want someone to push her on the swing for thirty minutes of so.  In June, she figured out how to pump on her own.  She loves it!!  Now she says, "You start me on the swing?", and swings away on her own after the first push. 

Callie and Tobin turn 3!

          We celebrated Callie and Tobin's third birthday with family.  This was the first year that they really anticipated their birthday.  They talked about it for weeks before and every day after they wanted to know when their next birthday was going to be. It is so fun to see the joy of celebrating the life of one another.  Children really seem to get the idea of enjoying and celebrating life.
