The Kindy 500

Last week the kindergartener's had their Kindy 500. I was very impressed by some of the cars! Very creative. Some of them looked like they could be worth as much as a real car, and I hope they didn't just throw them away afterward...

The kids performed patriotic songs, then paraded their cars around the school. They also visited many US landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, and Lincoln Memorial.

Tin Can Treats

 These are such a fun way to give a treat to someone you love! I made some for Mother's Day and Teacher Appreciation Day. Super easy and super cute! Visit Our Best Bites for the tutorial {happy Mother's Day to me....I finally got their cookbook!}

The Fourth Grade Class

 Kensie had her last dance class at the end of April. It was fun to watch how the girls have progressed this year. They are so much more grown up! I can't believe that next year they will be the CDT 5th grade class!!

Their class cheer. They are saying "CDT fourth grade rocks!"

Easter Festivities

What an Easter! I'll apologize in advance for the picture overload. The kids had fun at the SunCrest egg hunt- amazingly there wasn't any snow on the ground!! Kensie found a golden egg, which we found out meant that she got a bouncy ball and one of those dumb paddle ball things that break two seconds after it's opened. Sweet.

We decorated eggs at Grandma & Grandpa's....

....then at home.

We went to the Thanksgiving Point egg hunt....
{never again. What is it about a plastic egg with a tootsie roll inside that turns parents into thieving maniacs?}

Easter morning was spent finding eggs and eating treats.

The attempts at Easter pictures before church:
{not too successful, thanks to a certain individual who was ultra grumpy.} 

Then off to Grandma's for more egg hunting, yummy food, and playing with cousins.

Gardens

We took our first trip to the gardens this season. It never disappoints. The tulips were just starting to bloom, and it was a warm day. The kids had fun rolling down hills and relaxing on the grass. Landon was just happy to be there. He's such a good kid!

Eleven Months
