Thanksgiving Feast

Each year at preschool we have a Thanksgiving Feast.  Each year the kids have dressed up as something different. 

In the two's they were turkeys.

 In the three's they were Indians.

And this year in Pre K they got to be Pilgrims!

 

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Tim turned 40 this year!  So what better way to celebrate than with balloons!  We took balloons and tied them to his motorcycle at work.  The kids had so much fun being "sneaky"

 We celebrated at Grandma's house with all our family and peach cobbler.

 Then Tim and I took a trip to Vegas!  It was so much fun, but I did not take my camera and all we have is what we took with our phones.  Here are a few and I will get some more from our friends who went with us!

 At the top of the tower, we got to see the fountains at the Bellagio from the top.  It was so pretty!

Cheer Off

We finished off the football season with a cheer off.  All the little cheer teams came together to show off what they have learned.  I can say our girls did such a great job!  They had such a great coach.  Thank you Ms. Holly for all of your hard work teaching these girls so much!

Halloween

This year the kids went back and forth about what to be for Halloween.  I still love to plan their costumes to match.  This year may be the last year I get to do that.  These two have their own ideas on what they want to be.  For whatever reason they succumbed to my planning.  Let me present....

Our first field trip

Now that the kids are in PreK they get to go on field trips.  They were both so excited, and kept asking when the day would finally get here.  I think the most exciting part of the trip is getting to ride the "bus".  The day before our trip Glade kept asking about the bus.  With every school bus he saw he asked if that was our bus.  While we do not have a big yellow bus, we do have what is called a people mover.  None the less, the kids loved riding in the bus!
It rained the day before our trip, so I was a little concerned we might have to reschedule.  The sun came out for us though.  We pulled on our rain boots and headed to the farm!  While there the kids got to feed and pet some animals, walk through a maze, jump in a bounce house, take a tractor ride, play and shoot a corn cannon.  Glade loved the cannon! It was actually tennis balls, but still it was fun to shoot and aim at the targets.  We pretty much had the place all to ourselves which was so nice!  I loved getting to watch Glade and Addison have so much fun with all their friends.  I love how they have been able to grow so close during our years at preschool.  Such a blessing these years have been!

We have to watch out for these two!  This little guy already has plans to marry Addison.  They are always together at preschool!  He has planned where they will live and he said they will have 10 kids!  It is so funny to hear them talk about such things. 

 We brought our baby pumpkins home and painted them.

All things Cheer

Here is a recap or the last several weeks of cheer for Addison.  She loves to cheer.  She is constantly jumping and turning cartwheels.  This is a picture of her sweet friend Kinsley giving her some encouragement to do her part in a cheer.  Addison does get really nervous sometimes and does not want to cheer in front of an audience!

 She had no trouble after cheer camp though!  She performed her cheers in front of everyone!

 One of the benefits of cheer camp was to go cheer at the high school game last Friday night.  I was worried she would be "too nervous" as she says when she doesn't want to perform in front of others.  But she did great!

 Here she is posing for the camera at last weeks football game.  The girls cheer so hard for their team, unfortunately they have yet to win a game this season.

Addison is not feeling well this week so she will have to miss the last game of the season.  I am so proud of my little cheerleader and all that she has learned.  Ms. Holly has done such a great job with all of the girls.  We look forward to next year and cheering again.  We hope Glade can be on the team we cheer for!
