preschool graduate

Keagan has officially graduated from preschool.  She was so excited and insisted on wearing her wedding dress for the graduation.  Luckily, her little friend wanted to wear his batman costume, so she wasn't the only one "dressed up."  

 Talking with her teacher after the graduation.

 Her teacher, Ms. Karli.  We loved her.  

 Her other teacher, Ms. Konnie.  We loved her too.

 Her teacher made this cute picture setting for the kids.

 She looks ecstatic in this one.  I love it.

Good job, sweet girl.  You have done amazing this year and we are so excited for you to go to Kindergarten next year!  

pumpkin patch

Before Halloween Keagan's preschool went to the pumpkin patch.  I have never been to this one and it was a pleasant surprise.  Lots for little ones to do.  It was very crowded though.

 instead of a spook alley, there was a light alley, which is great for little kids.  Cinderella's carriage was in there and Keagan was so excited to see it.

At the end the kids got to pick out a little pumpkin to take home.  It was cold, but a fun day.

fire station

In October, Keagan's preschool had a field trip to the fire station.  They got to walk through the fire house and an ambulance and we even got to see what happens when they get a call, because they got one while we were there.  The alarm went off (a lot quieter than I would have thought) and two firemen came and quickly put on their gear and took the fire engine out.  They were back pretty quickly, so the kids got to see the engine and take a picture in front of it.

 That is Keagan in the pink shirt...being Keagan.

Keagan's preschool graduation

 At the end of May Keagan had her pre-school graduation.  She still has another year of pre-school (the joys of fall birthday), but she was still so excited for her graduation.

Keagan, we love you and are so proud of you and all that you have learned this year!  Keep your love of learning and you will do amazing things!

Aquarium

At the end of March, Keagan's preschool had a field trip to the aquarium.  I took Easton along and was able to get him back in time for Kindergarten....only being 10 minutes late!  

 Um, yea....Easton's hair was a MOP!  After seeing these pictures, Parker took him to get his haircut.  :)

The kids loved it and liked that we just wandered the aquarium by ourselves.

 Easton loved this...it was by the tank for the electric fish and when you put your fingers on it, you got a small tingle in your fingers.  He thought it was awesome.  Keagan screamed....

A fun, quick trip to the local aquarium.  Nice for a windy, cold, spring day.

dinosaur museum and Bean museum

Keagan's preschool had a field trip in January to the BYU dinosaur museum and the Bean museum.  Easton got to tag along with us.

what a difference a year (or two) makes!

It is crazy and happy and sad to see how much they change, just in a year!

1st day of preschool

Keagan had her first day of preschool today.  She was up and dressed and ready by the time I got up--which was 8:30, so I don't even know when she got up.  She was SO excited.  She kept asking me, "Is it time to go yet?"  When 10:00 rolled around, she was jumping out the door.

her cute new backpack 

outside preschool.  I have decided this is my new favorite picture of her.

Keagan, I can't believe you are in preschool! (for the 2nd year....)  You are such a fun girl and I hope you discover a love of learning.  I hope you listen to your teacher and learn so much this year!  We are excited for you and love you so much.

Keagan's preschool graduation....her first, at least

Keagan had her neighborhood preschool graduation this week. She was so excited.

They got hats and leis made from fruit loops---why don't they make all leis out of fruit loops? Much more fun.

Doing an art project--seriously, this face all the time.
