End of Another School Year and Birthdays!

Well we have survived another year of school in the Davidson household (Even though I had the year off, I ended up teaching full-time in the last two weeks. ;) )  Ashlynn had a wonderful year in Kindergarten. She made a lot of friends and learned a lot from her teacher Mrs. Rustici.  I am so glad that we decided to keep her in the neighborhood school where we used to live. It might be a little out of the way, but it is so worth it.  Ashlynn has had such an exciting year of learning, discovery, and many eventful field trips.  I know that she will probably always remember this year as one of her favorites.


The Kindergarten students put on a special Mother's Day concert.  They added a couple Father's Day songs in at the end for all of the dads.  The teachers really went out of their way to make a memorable year for the students.

Our kids really love their uncle Eric.
Ashlynn's birthday party was Hello Kitty themed.  We had a lot of fun with family and friends.  The kids enjoyed getting wet in the pool, squirting each other with water guns and surprising each other with a splash from a water balloon.  We found out just how many kids our little pool could really hold.

Inside the kids all helped Ashlynn open her presents.  Everyone wanted to help so we ended up taking turns and having one person at a time hand Ashlynn presents.  Our house became almost to quiet after everyone left.  We love having big parties at our house and love the sound of all of the children running and laughing.

Last Day of School
Warren's little preschool group met a couple times a week in the mornings for a couple of hours.  Even though he started attending at the tail end of the year he learned so much from his teacher.  He loved going to Mrs. McRae's house.  Thanks Afie! I have never heard the kid say so much than when shared everything that he learned during the day!
Ashlynn's last day of school. They were almost not allowed to go because they both had pink eye over the weekend and at the beginning of the week. I am so thankful for the prescription drops that cleared up their eyes so that they could go. My mom actually took the kids on the last day of school to all of their festivities.  Richard and I both had to work during the day, so Grandma was able to share the day with the kids.
My Grandparents came into town the same week as Richard, Ashlynn and my birthdays.  It was so nice to be able to visit with them.
Oh yeah and I turned the big 30 this year! I still don't feel that old and am just enjoying where I am in life being a wife and mother. 

Ice Cream cakes are the best!

Easter

I have to start my updating all the way back in April. Ashlynn friend had an egg hunt just before Easter Sunday. The kids and I have been able to go for the past few years and always have fun. My friend always has activities and egg dying for the kids.  She is so creative.  For Easter the "Easter Bunny" came in the morning. We then had a real hunt had in the backyard. No more hiding the eggs inside the tiny living room.  The kids had a great time searching the yard for the eggs.  Richard really got into playing Easter Bunny and hiding them. We later went to my aunt's house and had a nice family dinner.
Having memories like these give me time to reflect on what is truly important in life and what my true blessings are.  I thank Heavenly Father every day for my wonderful family and people the people in our lives.  We are truly blessed.

What have we been up to

 
I made Ashlynn a fun play dress for school. She loves it. It was a nice change from all of the pants and shorts that she wears. Just a few days ago Ashlynn class along with a few other classes from her school went on a field trip to the Pima County Fair.  She was able to make a jump rope, see farm animals, drive a remote controlled train, watch a shark show and so much more.  She and I had a wonderful time.





The kids have a swing set!!!! My parents gave the kids a swing set for their birthdays.  We spent the day putting in together and finish just before we had to start the bedtime routine.
