Jonathan Patten's Kindergarten Graduation May 19th

At 10 am in the school library, Jonathan graduated from Kindergarten! He was among three other kindergarteners that graduated this year. They first had them come into the room while Pomp and Circumstance was being played on a tape player and were all wearing cute little felt graduation caps. After a few opening words from the school's principal, each child came up one at a time to talk about their "All About Me" poster and to share a talent with the group of parents. Jonathan was first up. He shared a poem that he wrote about Dinosaurs. "Dinosaurs stomp and kick and punch with their sharp claws. Dinosaurs like to eat stores and houses. I like Dinosaurs!" He drew a pteradactyl attacking a tall building. Then he got to talk about his poster. He told about how we had an open house and he got to share his school work with his Dad and Grandparents, and Uncle Jimmy. The teacher asked him what his favorite part of school was and Jonathan said "The Computer". While Jonathan was waiting for the other kids to present theirs, he kept shaking his head and watching the tassle on his cap wiggle back and forth. He told us later that when he was looking at the tassle it made two of everything!! After each child had gone up and shared their posters and talents, it was time to hand out their certificates. Jonathan looked so cute getting his certificate and a green Lei and then shaking his P.E. teacher's hand. Congratulations Jonny, we are so proud of you and all your hard work this year! Keep up the great work!















Father/Son Campout May 16th


This was Ethan's first year that he was allowed to go on the annual Father/Son Campout!! He was so excited to be able to go this time! Jonny of course looks forward to this camping trip every year. They love spending time with their dad especially when it's in a tent! Here are a few pictures that Cory took while at the campout.
The boys are ready to help Daddy set up the tent. They had hot dogs for dinner. Back at home, I took Megan and Adam to Rubio's for dinner!










The boys watching TMNT (Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles) on Cory's PSP. I guess Cory and Ethan fell asleep before it was over, but Jonny stayed up and watched the whole movie. Meanwhile Megan and I stayed up late learning how to cross-stitch.










Thumbs up for Camping!!











Mother's Day May 10th


I had a really great Mother's day! I woke up that morning to the smell of something yummy cooking. Cory had shopped the night before in preparation to the breakfast he was going to make me for Mother's day. He made delicious sausage and egg burritos with bell pepper, cheese and cilantro. There was also ripe cantaloupe, grapes and orange juice! He also did a large load of dishes, I hate dishes. I then received a potted flower plant with flowers as yellow as the sunshiny sun! Later when we went to celebrate over at Cory's Mom's house, I got some yummy peanut butter Whoppers and an awesome CD, Panic at the Disco! We had a delicious dinner over there and had a ton of fun visiting.

A few pictures of my wonderful breakfast!
