One Fish, Two Fish

One of our favorite school activities is Dr. Suess Night.  He was such a great author and Ticasuk Brown Elementary does a great job at setting up and putting on this night celebrating his works.

Facepainting is always fun.

Wouldn't be complete without birthday cake.

Listening to stories in the library.

Always good to see some friends.

Kimberly

Kimberly has been busy this year and is learning lots of things as a third grader.

We took advantage of Grandma's presence to learn some sewing.

Kimberly's awesome teacher Mr. Rush organized a poetry jam for his class.

Kimberly is also getting really good at playing the piano and even auditioned and made it into the school talent show.  We are so proud of our Kimberly.

It's great to be 8!

Well, it finally happened.  Although it seemed like it would never get here, the end of July did eventually roll around, family arrived, and Kimberly was baptized.  She was so excited, she practically ran to the Primary Room where the font is when it was time.  She is a sweet girl and we are so glad to have her in our family!

Someone Had a Birthday

It's the birthday Queen!
Love the Skirt from Grandma!

 Sister Putnam made this cute little cake for Kim's birthday.

 It was fun to have a friend over for her birthday.

 Too much fun!

 The best present?  Dad pierced Kimberly's ears!! Then they went to the movies.

 We had a butterfly cake.  It was a fun birthday.  It's hard to believe that our little girl is 8.  She is getting so big!

Dr. Seuss

We love to go to the Dr. Seuss Night every year at Kim's school.  Here's Kim getting her face painted.

We found a friend!

Glade had a great time too!  I love the fish!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

We enjoyed a fun day of kite flying one windy day.   Look at this super-cute little guy!

Trying to get it up in the air!

Kids love to fly kites!

Mom helps keep it up in the air.

Still a little snow!

Another great picture of Glade.

Cute girl in her new little rain coat.

Scientist in the House!

Kimberly recently did a project for the science fair at school. She made carbon dioxide with baking soda and vinegar.

Then she used the carbon dioxide to put out a candle.
She did a great job and enjoyed the experience. Way to go, Kimberly!
