Glade the Kindergarten Star

Glade had a great year in Kindergarten this year.  Here's a snapshot of the end-of-year concert.

We love Mrs. Pauley, just not right now.

End of school picnic.  What a fun boy!

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.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Glade got to go on a business trip with Dad to visit some fun cousins in Arizona.

The big bunch of boys had a great time at the zoo, cooking out, and just playing together.

It was so nice to be able to wear shorts!  It was still winter in Alaska.

Thanks Uncle By and Aunt Jessie for having them!  They had a great time!

Birthday Boy!

Guess who turned 5 this summer!  Glade is now officially old enough for Kindergarten!  He had a great birthday!

Five years old!!

Enjoying cake and ice cream!

I love my boy!

Fun new toys!  A lightsaber and some legos!

Another favorite was some monster trucks from a friend.

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.

Hard Work

Glade recently decided he really wanted a specific toy but didn't want to wait until his birthday. He was told that he could work and save money until he could buy it himself. This is what he decided to do. It took him 2 months, but he finally earned enough money. He loves his Finn McMissile and even likes to sleep with him, as seen!

Ice Park!

We went on a field trip for our preschool to the ice park. The kids really enjoyed it. The sun staying out makes a huge difference in the temperature.

I loved this ice sculpture of a train.
The big winner this year. I love the porcupine spines and how the leopard looks like he's really moving.

Awesome how the can make the squares balance on their corners.

We had a such a good time there. It is always amazing to see what they can do with a medium like ice.

Glade and I had fun making pretzels for Family Home Evening one day. The kids enjoyed eating them while watching a movie! I hope they always remember to Choose the Right!

A Show

Our kids love to put on "shows." They do it for just about every holiday, or sometimes just because. This is a show they put on in mid-January. This picture is part of a play that they made up.

They always have music and dancing too. It is fun to have so much creativity in the house.
