Awards

Yes, I'm a bit behind, but honestly there wasn't a lot to post in January or February.  This is fun stuff though.  Devin and Avery's first semester awards ceremonies were on the same day and both of them received an award.  This is Devin's first time getting an award because they don't do them for kindergartners, so he was pretty thrilled!  Devin's is for "Most Inspirational".  Woo hoo, Devin!  Here he is with his teacher, Mrs. Mata.

 And Avery's was for 'Academic Achievement in Writing'.  Go Avery!  And here she is with her teacher that she adores, Mrs. McNamara.

So proud of both of you!  XOXOXOX

Camping over Christmas Break

Over Christmas break we did a camping trip to Riverside.  I know...Riverside?  But there is a great county park there - Rancho Jurupa.  When Sandi was here over Christmas she taught Devin how to play Steal the Pile and he's loved it ever since.

Playing on the rock playground

This cook tree was right next to our campsite.  We really scored on our site this time!

Kirk got the flu while we were there, so it was up to me to take the kids to do all the different stuff while he slept.  He was very, very sick.  Here we are at the park.

We had invited our friends, the Paulsen's and they were good sports and still came even though Kirk was sick in the trailer.  Thank goodness they did, too.  It really helped our spirits.  Wasn't so fun without Kirk around.

Sumida's and Paulsen's

This is the fun tree kids loved playing in next to where we were staying.
