Preschool Field Trip

We did a preschool with Denali where the moms take turns teaching. We only did one day a week and we had seven kids. Denali loved this. She is so jealous that Alexis gets to go to school every day and it was a great social outlet for her. We had a few fun field trips during the year and ended with a trip to the fire station. We got to go inside the station and look at the different gear and then look inside one of the trucks. We all brought our other kids too to join in the fun.

Evan, Isabella, Janey, Denali, Macee, Andilyn, and Howard
The boys were definitely out-numbered in this group!

Jubilee

Alexis was in a music class called Jubilee. My good friend Shanae taught the class in her home. They did more than just sing songs, they learned about composers, about rhythm, how to read notes, etc. Alexis LOVED it! Shanae moved away this summer and Alexis is missing the class. Here is a sample of their spring program:

Denali Broken Arm & Dance Recital

Someday I will get caught up to current family events!

Denali broke her arm in April. She is always climbing and jumping off of everything. One night as we were getting ready for bed, I told her not to jump off the bed cause she would hurt herself. The next thing I know, she has jumped and she landed on her arm. Their bunk bed actually has a slide on it and she jumped mid-slide. Greg wasn't home that night, so I had to have a neighbor come put Alexis to bed and be here while Alexis and Paxton slept. It was only a small fracture, but it was right near her elbow. And they made her put her arm out completely straight for the x-rays. The look of pain on her face really did break my heart. She was excited to get a pink cast though. And I know I have pictures of it but can't find them on my computer at the moment. Her cast only had to be on for 4 weeks, but her dance recital happened to be during that time.

She really enjoyed her jazz dance class last spring. She's the adorable blonde with the bright pink cast!
