Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe Allie is already done with Kindergarten. I blinked and it happened. She loved every minute of school, especially her teacher, Mrs. Beaudry and all of her friends. She is very social. Her reading and writing have improved and she is doing awesome in math...so ready for first grade! Her teacher was sick on the last day of school (so sad) so we didn't get any pictures of her! We'll have to stop by on the first day next year and get one with her!

Everyone's parents had flowers or candy necklaces etc. for them and then here we are with nothing. Allie asked us so sweetly, "Do I have anything?" Well Allie, we get snowcones on the last day of Kindergarten!! That made her pretty happy :)

One of her best friends, Eli, was in her class but he was gone before we could get a picture with him. Luckily he lives down the street and we got one with him and his siblings later. 

Kindergarten

It happened...the day this girl has been looking forward to for well over a year: Kindergarten!!

She laid her clothes out last night, even with the shoes (haha) and it was the longest morning of her life. She goes in the afternoon which doesn't start until 12:45. Once it was time for pictures she was more of a nut than I was (hard to imagine). She wanted pictures in all of these spots...

This is my favorite picture ever. I just said, "Do a silly picture together" and this is what they both did!

She wanted one with me (melt my heart) and it's super close-up but I will treasure it forever. Look how grown up she is.

We applied to a Charter School which enrolls by lottery. Her name wasn't picked but she is now 8th on the list to get in. If she does we will transfer there. But for now she goes to Desert Sage Elementary.

They had the kids line up outside which means I didn't get to go in and see her! What!? She was first in line, with confidence oozing out of her. She was really bugged that they had to wait outside for so long too, she was ready to get going!

Leader of the pack

Her teacher is Mrs. Beaudry...and this is the best picture I got of her since we didn't get to go in. BOO!

READY!

Didn't even look back....

Tear.

Snow School

Every other week I get to have Katelyn's friend, Devry over for a little Joy School fun. We did Snow things last week and those little's had a great time!

Spraying snow...I love that little tongue!

Snow Castles

 Then we decorated some snowflakes

Preschool

Allie is starting a little preschool this year. It's once a week with 6 other friends. Each of the moms and I will rotate to teach them. So I will teach every 7 weeks. She loved her first day. She was "Queen for the Day" since her name starts with the letter A. I was that mom that stayed for a few minutes and took pictures. Can you blame me!? She got to share a story and some of her favorite things. This is what she said:

Who is in your family? Dad, Katelyn, Mommy, and Allie

When is your birthday? June. Wait, when is it? Oh yeah, March

Favorite Color: Pink

Favorite Food: Fruits and Vegetables

Favorite Toy: Bunny

Favorite Movie: Rapunzel

Funny Story: She shared about the first time she ate ice cream. That night we were getting her ready for a bath so she was just in her diaper. She started blabbing like crazy and we called it "Diaper talk." Here...you can watch it.
