Hand made necklaces


(disclosure: the blue animal above is a giraffe, not what you're thinking in your head)
Again, another excellent idea from Pinterest.  We decided to make our own necklaces for Mother's Day gifts and end of the year teacher gifts.  I thought making the necklaces ourselves would make it just a little more personal and something extra special for the Grandmas.  I picked up some Shrinky Dinks (I used to be obsessed with these as a child) at Michaels, along with some colored pencils, and pre-made necklaces.  I had all the beads and jewelry tools to put the rest together.  We cut out 3.5 inch circles and punched a whole in the top and I let the kids color whatever they wanted.  We baked them in the oven,  one of the funnest parts of the project.  Then they chose which ones went to which person.  I think they turned out so cute!  And they were a hit with everyone.  

My niece Lauren made some book marks out of the left over pieces.  They turned out cute too!

Grandparents


These are some PROUD Grandparents! 
We are so blessed to have our families so close by and so involved in our children's lives.  It makes me so happy that they make the effort to be at all the kids functions and help us out so much with them.  They are always there for us.  Thanks guys we love you!

Pre K Graduation


It's official. we will have a kindergartner soon.  We just celebrated PreK graduation.  I'm so lame, I got a little teary during the ceremony.  I was so proud of him!  They did such a cute little celebration, sang songs, and got a little diploma.   Here is Zackary with his 2 teachers.  Miss Joanna and Mrs Laree.  He loved them and they were really good to him. 
 
 

Look how proud he was!  It's like a little preview of bigger graduations in the future. 

Our little family!  My 4 favorite people!
