End of the Year

This post is a little out of order, but this past Sat. my sister Megan and her husband JJ came to visit. We took them to Blue Lake Park on Sat. to have a picnic. This park is great. It's HUGE and has like 5 playgrounds, a lake, beach, kids water park and lots and lots of green grass and picnic tables. Seeing as how JJ is a kid himself, the kids had a great time dragging him everywhere. They had races down the slides, played frisbee and then Kaitlyn dragged him through the lake with her for like an hour. We didn't bring their swimsuites, because it was kind of cold and we didn't think they would get in, but kids are apparently impervious to cold. JJ finally had to drag Kaitlyn out when her lips were totally blue. (THere are no pics of Matt in the lake because you have to be 5 to get into the lake, and yes, we fudged on Kaitlyn's age just a little bit). They then built some sand castles and we headed home. It was great to see Meg and JJ, even if only for a couple of days!

Thanks to Grandpa Morris for these awesome new shirts. The kids love them!!!
Last Friday was Kaitlyn's last day of preschool. She was devastated. She LOVES Miss Carolyn and the only reason she stopped crying was when i told her she could still see Miss Carolyn sometimes in the hall at church. She had a great year. Her evaluation was good. Her teacher said she is very eager to learn, and knew the most Spanish words out of the 14 members at Miss Carolyn's school. The last video is one of the songs she did during her little end-of-year performance. And yes, that loud off-key voice you can hear is in fact Kaitlyn. You can thank her Dad for her complete lack of musical ability. I'm hoping piano lessons will help remedy that. Also, the cute little girl next to her, who is quite the little performer, is her best friend Annie.

Can't you tell how sad she is to be done with school in this picture? (really it's just her refusal to EVER smile for a picture)
