Neighborhood Fieldtrips

I am trying to catch up on posts and realized I had never posted about the fun fieldtrips our neighborhood did together. We enjoyed a day at wheeler farm
Avery and Bree are good little buddies!


Bree loved the ducks and wanted to chase them
This picture is the epiteme of Bree in public....she puts her head down and just goes and she goes fast! She has no fear or no concept of staying close to me.

Adrie, Beck and Aiden

Fun on the big tractors!

The other fieldtrip was a tour of Papa Murphys Pizza!

The kids loved going back into the kitchen to see how everything is made and then we got to take home some pizza



Adrie's friend Beck



We all enjoyed the yummy pizza together afterwards!

Walk with Angels

Last weekend we participated with Kris's family in a walk for families with children with special needs. It was through the united angel foundation and was called "walk with angels" I love the name because it is so true! It was so fun and moving to see our whole family (minus Kris who was out of town and Rick) come together and support Bree and Lyla. Our team name was "Extra" cute cousins, since Bree and Lyla share the bond of the extra chromosome. It turned out to be decent weather...started off cold but the rain held off, so it was a nice event! Bree and Lyla are so lucky to have eachother and to have such a great family supporting them.



Here is a little video montage of our walk!

Spring Dance Recital

The girls had their dance recital and it turned out so cute! They were in the same class for the second half of the year

It makes me sad to see how old they look together with makeup on..






We had lots of support from family and friends







Me and my girls!!
Their cute teacher gave them trophies, flowers and a certificate, plus they got flowers from family too. The girls LOVED the trophies!!
I am so excited to see Bree joining them in this recital next year!

Adrie Zoo Fieldtrip

Adrie has been going to preschool at a high school and it is so fun for the kids because they have "Big friends" (the high school students) to hang out with. I joined them on their fieldtrip to the zoo and unlike when I went with Kyra a few years ago, Adrie was perfectly content being with the big friends and just checking on Bree and I once in awhile.

Beck and his big friend
Bree was supposed to be on a fieldtip with her preschool but since this conflicted, she got to come with us and she was SO EXCITED about the bus ride!

The baby elephant was so adorable!

It was fun to have so many neighbor friends in this preschool and the teacher is also our beloved neighbor!
