Today was Jade's Kindergarten Completion Ceremony at school. She is the third from the right in the front row. I was so bummed, I misread the email that was sent out - and I sat on the wrong side in the audience. Jade's smile was so big throughout the whole program. She did a great job with the songs they sang. I even had a few people come up to me and say "you can tell she is a cheerleader, she has the whole performing thing and big smile down pat."

Luckily, my friend was able to snap a few pictures for me from where she was sitting.

I know I am biased, but isn't she the cutest?

This evening was "signing day" at cheerleading. Even though we are moving next month, Jade's coach still wanted her to be able to participate in this tradition. All the cheerleaders get a t-shirt and sign their contract which shows their commitment to the team for the year.

We LOVE Pro Spirit. We are so sad to have to say goodbye to this gym and the sweet owners.

Some pictures from the month of May

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I usually get a text from Avery's teacher with pictures like this and her teacher saying "I just love her." Avery is definitely the life of the party :-)

Avery insisted we take a picture with big glasses on!

Thumbs up for the weekend

Handing in some of their tickets at Quest (Wednesday night church) one evening

 On Mothers Day, we went to church and grabbed some brunch afterwards at Snug. We also went for dinner that night. Overall, we had a really great day!

This is a picture BEFORE Avery decided to take a "dip" in the water (I'm not making this stuff up people.. and you only hear about a fraction of what she really does)

 I pulled Jade out of school one afternoon because we needed to take a quick trip to the doctor to look at her finger. She missed her lunch time at school so Jeff met us at the mall for lunch and a ride on the carousel. We topped it off with dessert and she picked out a necklace at Children's Place since I had a $5 reward coupon to spend.

Cute new outfit I ordered for cheerleading

 Jade crafting before cheerleading one evening. She had to make 20 "swaps" for Camp Kindergarten

Jeff spoiled me with an awesome cake for my birthday:

Avery came downstairs for school one morning ready to go with "earrings" on. She found some gem stickers and apparently they make the perfect earrings.

My girlfriend, Tera, treated me to lunch for my birthday.

Practice makes perfect. Working on some level 2 skills for stunting

 Some more pictures of Avery at school:

Apparently Super Heroes aren't her thing.

So sweet, some friends of mine took me out for lunch one afternoon as a little farewell. They also bought me this cute notepad.

Brooke at field day with her friend, Julia:

My 3 crazies before church

Home from church and Brooke drew mustaches on everyone.

 This past week and next week is "Camp Kindergarten" at school.  Each day there is a different theme. For wear silly clothes day, Jade dressed like this:

She was voted "silliest" and won an air guitar.

 Jade received a care package from Grama and Grampa at Camp:

Favorite Sports Team Day - she is a girl after my own heart!

Final day of Quest - pizza party and ice cream party (Don't mind the wet hair, we were coming directly from swim lessons). The girls loved going to Quest this year at church.

 Last day of Preschool:

Today, Brooke came home from school with this book. Her teacher gave it to her because she knew Brooke would like it.
