My baby girl is growing up!

Time sure does fly. Kassandra's last day of school was yesterday and she is officially in the third grade. Man i cant believe it. And she is such a social butterfly. Here is what her week includes and then what my week includes. I am sorta jealous.



Monday: Group Lesson at Piano (me driving her to piano)

Tueday: Gymnastics (me driving her gymnastic and then working on self evalution for work)

Wednesday: Sleep over at Alyssa's house (driving her to Alyssa's house and then doing nothing)

Thursday: Rockies game (NOTHING)

Friday: Going to the zoo, while i am at work then going to the Dr. and then make up piano (maybe) (taking her to the DR and the piano)



So as you can see my daughter has a much more exciting life than i do. Man i wish i was younger and had more friends! Kassandra is so involved with friends and different things. I am so proud of her. I just wonder what its going to be like when she is a teenager!

Poetry Cafe 2010

Kassandra's class put on a poetry cafe for all of the parents. They each picked a poem out of their poem book to share with the group. It was the cutest thing ever. They sang funny songs and wrote great poems. Kassandras poem was about Water. I did a video of it however, she did it so fast you cant really tell what she is saying so i put both together! :)

Onomatopeoia

Water

Drip drop crash, crash

Water drops on the

Grounds drip drop i love

Water, Crash, crash

Water falls on the ground

They also sang the funniest version of Yankee Doodle Went to Town. They were so cute!! I love 2nd grade!!!!

Piano Lessons

Kassandra started Piano this last week. She is super excited about it and she is picking it up really fast. I am glad that she is so into it. The first week she practiced faithfully everyday for 10 mins. It was just the cutest thing ever. I did a video (with my new video camera!!!) like the third day she practiced. Keep up the good work Kassandra!

Just don't send it back to me....I'm going to bed.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mothers!

Springtime Fun Run-April 2010

Kassandra had a run where she had a goal to run or walk 5 laps which was 1/3 of a miles each lap. The were raising money for the school due to budget cuts next year. Anyway, Kassandra ran and walked a total of 6 laps. She raised over $200 for the school. We would like to thank everyone to donated money!!! Thanks Advanced Urology, and our home teachers!! I have posted some fun pics from the fun day.

Fun after the run!!!! All Kassandra's friends did a great job! Most of them ran anywhere between 5-8 laps. One girls did 12 laps, that was the most any of the kids did. I think they all had a really good time. Even the teachers had a great time!

Thriller

This year at school, Kassandra learned how to do the Michael Jackson Thriller dance. she did so good and she was just the cutest! I had to post a few pics and a video from when she did it. She loves doing things like this and it makes me so happy! :)

EASTER- I know im slow

So i am finally getting around to posting pictures from Easter, i know i am slow. We had a great relaxing day. Kassandra dyed easter eggs, went on a easter egg hunt and then got an easter basket from the easter bunny. Then we spent the day watching confernce which was great listening to the wonderful talks. I love being able to remember Jesus and what he did for us and how we are able to be forgiven for our sins because of him. So here are some pictures of Kassandra and her adventures!
