First Things First

We officially closed on our new house on Wednesday and were able to get the keys that evening. Of course one of the first things Jason wanted to do was play with his new "toy". We purchased a receiver and then went over to the new house to connect the surround-sound in our family/media room. Jason was in electronic heaven. How cute is he? Like a little boy in a candy store. :o)

The Rumor is True

So the rumor is true... we are moving. We're staying around Boise... just moving to Meridian. We love our ward and school, but just need more elbow room! We're most excited about the "media room" which includes a projection t.v. and screen, the surround sound (in the living room, master bedroom, media room and back patio )and the neighborhood pool/playground/workout room in the club house. It's been amazing how things are just falling into place. We've been SO blessed recently. We've received all kinds of checks/money "out of the woodwork". It must be right... or so we're hoping and praying. If all goes well (I've been holding my breath) we will sign closing papers on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Then the fun of packing begins!

Year End Horizon Choir Concert

Rylee's choir conert was very nice. They sang several songs they learned throughout the year, plus some really fun songs like; "Surfin' USA" medally, "These Boots Were Made for Walkin" and "Popeye the Sailor Man". The music teacher at Horizon is excellent. She's organized and has so much fun with the kids. These kids sound awesome and are very good at following her direction. We will miss these wonderful concerts/music programs.

After the concert, Mrs. CK handed out choir awards. Rylee recieved 3 awards for her achievements; a certificate of participation in choir, a music festival certificate and ribbon and a perfect attendance certificate and pin. Rylee was most excited about the perfect attendance award... that's so her. :o)Refreshments of cookies and juice were provided. Here's Emily, Rylee and Charity, choir/church buddies.

E is for Earth Day

Today in pre-school we learned about Earth Day. We talked about how we can take care of our Earth. We made Earth Day visors and then took a walk around the neighborhood to collect trash. Keeping this little group of girls safe and together was a bit of an adventure. I'm happy to report all went well and everyone returned safely. :o)

A Pre-school Princess Tea Party

Our pre-school theme was princess. Our letter for the week was "e". We learned how princesses are elegant & polite. We also talked about how princesses use etiquette & manners. So E is for elegant & etiquette. We had a "tea party" with lemonade. I also made a crown cake (saw it in the Family Fun magazine and just had to try it out). We talked about table manners and then practiced our etiquette during our tea party. The girls did such a good job. We had so much fun.

The Reception

The lovely get-away vehicle.
