Gavyn's Preschool Graduation

Gavyn had his preschool graduation on May 21st. It was so cute. They sang a friend song, a pirate song. They made pirate hats and parrots (pinned on his shirt) and a pirate necklace. At the end all the parents joined the kids in doing the chicken dance, it was alot of fun!

They also had a little award ceremony, where they were given thier "diploma" and a special award was made for each child. Gavyn's was the best rhymer because he is always rhyming words. His teachers said he would always be the first one to tell them which words rhymed and point our rhyming words in books.

His teachers were Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Dixon.

Catching crawdads on Memorial Day

Gavyn got a black eye the day before, he fell out of the car and landed on his head and face. Ouch!

Chase, what are you eating?

We spent Memorial Day afternoon at the lake catching crawdads. We hung beef jerky on the end of a fishing pole. It was a very succesful crawdad day. I would say we caught about fifty. In the midst of us catching crawdads, I look over to see Chase chewing on something. There was no food nearby so I asked him what he was eating, he replied "beef jerky", I noticed the piece of beef jerky missing from the end of his pole!!! ACK!! He ate the jerky we had been catching crawdads with!!!!

Here is a pic of Chase with one of the fish he caught.

Fishing at Kiabab Lake

We took a fishing trip to Kiabab Lake. We spent about 5 hours there between the kids and Wil they all caught about 25 fish. It was awesome. Gavyn and Chase both caught a ton of fish!

Chase's idea of vacation

We took a trip to Yuma and the kids had a ton of fun swimming. This is Chase resting with a Dorito in one hand and sucker in the other, watching TV. Now that is my kind of vacation!

Grand Canyon

We took a spontaneous trip to the Grand Canyon one day. Wil was working and had to go there so he asked if we wanted to come along. So we "went to work with daddy". The best part was since he was working we got in for free, that was really nice. On the way there we told the kids we were going to see a big hole in the ground. When we got there we said, "see the big hole?" and Gavyn says, "where is it?" I thought that was funny. They did really good. But I think they were more interested in all the beetles and squirrels we saw then seeing the Grand Canyon.

Fluffy

We were at the store and we saw a cute little girl who was a little over weight and Gavyn looks at her then tells me "Mommy, she's fluffy"

Mommy, what is this called?

Gavyn walked out of my room yesterday with my bra around his chest and asks "Mommy, what is this called?" and told him it was called a bra. He asked what it was for and I wasn't sure how to answer that. Then he said "is it to keep your boobies safe?" I laughed and said yes.
