Brook is offically onto big girl school! She graduated preschool last night and will be starting kindergarten in August, what??? kindergarten???...my goodness and then Bryn will start preschool in September of 2010. If it wasn't for the sleepless nights and poopy diapers I might be tempted to pull a Duggar and keep having babies, just cause the time goes by way too fast! Ah but I digress...
The ceremony was so sweet, Mrs. Carrington announced them as the "graduating class of 2009" they sang songs and recited their memory verses and then at the end she called their names as they walked down to recieve their "diploma". The preschool children and all the staff have been fantastic these past two years and we're so grateful Brook was able to be a part of it. She'll still be at the same school next year but in a different building and won't be able to see the pre-k teachers as often. but I know she'll do well with her new teacher and fellow students, some of whom she'll already know so that will be a big plus for her.
Here's to hoping we have a great summer and then we'll be looking to new fun and adventures for our kindergartner!

Making the rounds
So we had quite a busy weekend. We went from cosmic bowling in Las Vegas to "Oldschool Norco Kegger" at Andy's to visiting Grandpa Craig, Grandma Lila, and Great Grandma Mazlo in Perris and back home to Pahrump! Phew, we fit a lot of activities into just a few days but boy did we all have a great time.
Cosmic bowling at Red Rock was so much fun. We went with the Dugans, Robinettes and Garrisons. The kids were dancing around to the music in between bowling and snacking. Brook even got a little back spin in on the slick floor and Gavin and Bryn had their own little groove going and Aubrie and Brian were right there with them. We called it a night early as we had to pick Jon up from work and head out to CA, not to mention Brook and I ended up with same score and I just couldn't handle the pressure anymore, lol!
Unfortuantely we had a slight bump in the road, I ran out of gas as I was exiting the ramp to pick Jon up and he had to be my knight in shining armor and come to rescue us, my hero! So we finally made it to Andy's and had a great time seeing old faces and meeting new ones. It was funny to look through an old yearbook and see Jon and his friends as a teenagers, so cute. The girls had a blast with Alyssa and Sierra, I don't think I saw them but for a few moments at a time. Sunday we hung out at Brent and Lee's house, and it is the house to be at...complete with a bar/game room, fishing pond, jet ski, paddle boat and various livestock. A kids dream for sure!
Later we went to Grandpa and Grandma Lila's to visit with Justin, Gervais, and baby Madeline. Then we ventured across the way to visit with Great Grandma Mazlo, Jon's aunt Carol her daughter Tracey and granddaughter Kylie.
We finally headed home later that night and made to our owns beds by midnight! A very long weekend but so worth it. What a wonderful group a family and friends we have!

Our prima ballerina!
After months of practice Brook and her class had their ballet recital on May 1st and 2nd. Their performance was to the music from Tinkerbell, which of course meant we had to have the movie so she could practice at home(at least that was her reasoning). They were just the cutest little ballerinas ever and all did a great job! There were other really fantastic performances from clogging to Indian dancing to Kung fu type dance. She had quite the cheering section because not only did Daddy get to make it to her performance but he had Andy with him too plus Grampy, Grammy and Robin were also there and to top it off Chuck, Emilie and Gavin made it.
It was very exciting and a little emotional to watch Brookie on stage but we're so proud and looking forward to next year!
