Graduation

A picture I captured as he walked by!
That right here is a classic Alex face

 Tis the season for graduating.  This is always a busy season for our family full of good food and lots of graduation parties.  And this year is a really fun one, for we went to a graduation!  Ohhh what a cute one it was!  Full of future kindergarteners in purple caps!

The great part was watching Alex try to wrap it brain around what it means to graduate from Preschool.  I think in his mind, he would be in preschool forever and he was prefect fine with this idea.

Some facts about Alex from his preschool years:
Favorite color: Red
Favorite Food: Dinosaur chicken nuggets
Favorite thing to do: play hot wheels with Vashawn
Future career: wants to be a car fixer person

If given $100 Alex would "buy a very expensive toy and share it with Eli, Vashawn and Miss Jami!"

Here is what his teacher said about him: 

Alex and Miss Jami

"What can I say about Alex? He is quite possibly the sweetest, kindest, bestest boy in all the land.  He is great at sharing, playing by the rules, a good friend, patient with kids who aren't playing fair or nice and a pretty hard worker.  He is also great at ninja roles and opera style ABS's.  Not all kids were able to master these two vital preschool challenges...so yeah...he is pretty special.  Alex is destined for greatness and will do much for the cause of Christ.  Thank you so much for allowing me to be his teacher this year.  He has been an absolute joy.  Even when he puked on me."
It was great..
.They invited parents to come up and sit with their kids as we spent some time just praying for these guys.  As we send them on to new schools, that they will seek God and love Him with all their hearts.  Thanks Pastor Jim for praying for my boy!

We were excited that Grandparents were able to come into town for this event.  We were missing one grandparent for Gramma Pacheco is in Africa working with Orphan care there.  We are praying for you Gramma! And Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Robinson and Grampa Pacheco for being a big part of my boys lives!!!

Our family May 2011!

Last Day of Preschool

I might be a little weird, but there was no sadness today!  I am very excited about my kid's last day of preschool.  It has been so fun watching him learn this year.  Not only book learning but socially and spiritually.  I think every day he has some spiritually question...sometimes the same questions every day for several weeks!  But hey, I guess I can not expect deep conversations with my 5 year old everyday!  And ohhh the silliness of a 5 year old is crazy.  And I have a feeling it will just get sillier for the next few several years!

 I was an unorganized (as though I am not now, Ha!) mom at the beginning of the school year and did not take a first day of preschool picture, but here is one from his birthday trip to the zoo!  Who know what he is looking!  But he is still cute!

And here he is on his last day of preschool!  I told him to jump for joy.  He is on his way up in this picture and no he tends not to get a lot of air.  But once again....he is still cute!

I am so excited for the summer and all the fun things we get to do!  Trips to the zoo and playground! Playing outside with friends!  Weeks with grandparents!  Moving! It will be good to have both boys home all day with me again!
