Lillie's Mother's Day Preschool Program

Our sweet little (getting bigger by the minute) Lillie "graduated" from preschool and started kindergarten this school year. Here are some pics and a video from her end of the year/Mother's Day program at Ms. Arlene's house. She had a fabulous preschool teacher if anyone is looking for someone in Mesa. Lillie was reading by the end of the year with this awesome lady.

Nana Darlene was able to come and watch and of course entertain Lucy

The Ocean: By Abbie Randall

One of Abbie's end of the year projects in First Grade was a diarama. She chose the ocean and did such a cute job. If you feel like you need to brush up on some facts about the Ocean, then here is Abbie reading her report.

Writing Award

At the end of the school year we were able to go to the district writing awards ceremony for Abbie. Her teacher submitted a story she wrote about her most embarassing moment and Abbie won Honorable Mention (2nd place) for the 1st grade out of the whole district. We are so proud of her! Maybe we have an author in the making :)

Unfortunately my camera must have been on a weird setting because all my pics turned out terrible.

Abbie with her WoNdErFuL teacher Ms. McIntyre. Her and Abbie had a special bond, it was really sweet.

1st of many....

It has been sooooo long since I posted anything on our blog. We had such a fun/busy/stressful summer, so I think it's time to begin the first of many posts from this summer. So, here we go...

First, Brad's darling cousin Lauren got married to her sweetheart in the Mesa Temple. It was great seeing all of the Randall Family that was able to come into town for the wedding. Especially Jenna and her cute kids. We had so much fun with her, Davis, and Gwen.

Lillie, Lucy and Davis at the Tempe Beach Park. Abbie unfortunately missed out on a few things because she was still in school.

PARK!

Gwen is the cutest happiest baby on the planet. This girl is so sweet!

Brad did an intership this summer with a law firm in downtown Phoenix. Here he was looking all fancy for his first day. He just LOVED us taking all these pics with him.

Toward the end of the school year, I was able to go on a field trip with Abbie to the Phoenix Zoo. It was so much fun to spend time with just Abbie and see her interact with her cute friends.

Bus ride! Not so much fun with a sick prego belly. I was still in my first trimester.
