Then spend a great Memorial Day weekend starting with a magnificent 5 mile family hike in Pasedena to a waterfall with no complaints from the girls and a trip to a nearby pub for lunch. Then a great BBQ at the Geithmans for some much needed together time . Lastly another wonderful BBQing day with the whole Snow family.
This month we started new activities which include another season of swim lessons, and after many months of asking for them, their first gymnastics classes as well. Mommy left for a weekend to spend with good friends and Daddy got to take the girls to the Carver Carnival. The Bakx kids then came to have some fun while Roman and Daddy made some beer for our up coming camping trip.
That week Mommy and Kaylee got to volunteer in Cienna's class with a lesson on teamwork, each team got to work together to build a delicious waffle with toppings to enjoy. We had a wonderful musical put on by all the Kindergartners for an end of the year celebration that was more emotional than was expected before Cienna's last day of Kindergarten (which we are still in denial about).
That weekend we enjoyed each other going to a family breakfast outing at the The Crooked Duck then a first and very far between (wow was that expensive) family manicure day. The following week we spent preparing for a party weekend. Kaylee really enjoyed having close neighbors and family friends come over for a brunch with cake Birthday party. She really loved having some of her Pre-School friends make it as well! After nap time that day we had another party with amazing friends at the Ferarrio's to celebrate Cobi's Graduation. We'll miss him and wish him the best.
To end the month, Kaylee had her last day of pre-school, but her and most of her friends will be going back in the fall to enjoy more adventures together.
"Oh Man", is a fun common phrase for Cienna this month. Her love of reading inspired Larry to share his comic book collection to expand her imagination! She loves every aspect of gymnastics and has done remarkable due to her desire to learn. She also excelled in a higher class level of swimming which pushed her just a little past her comfort zone in the deep end. Cienna deserved and got some extra time with her teacher after earning 49 WOW's this year, her friend Brynn won a raffle to spend a day with your teacher and invited Cienna to come with her and spent some great time exploring a nearby fire house and had a great experience learning about what it's like to work there. We all had an amazing first year in elementary school and are excited for more to come yet sad to see the beginning come to an end! With one week remaining for Kaylee to still be in school and a family vacation coming Cienna had AMAZING times with the Marshall's and Geithman's who we are lucky to have as such great friends to watch her the three days this last week when Mommy was at work! She sure got spoiled!
Our baby unfortunately won't believe that she is still 3. She is 4 now! She is wanting, willing and starting to read. She continues to love writing and her interest in art and concentrating on crafts keeps on keeping on. Like her sister she was a BIG fan of gymnastics class from the start, she has loved expanding her physical ability! Her confidence is swimming and sociability is what helps her improve. She is no longer learning to ride a bike, but is now an expert, better than all of us. She is truly an individual and a conversationalist. We were so happy to have some of her pre-school friends at her birthday party this year. She thrives off of making other people happy and enjoy things with her.
We are so lucky and fortunate for all of our family and friends. All the love shows through in our amazing children! Thank you all! Busy Month.....as always.
