Spring Sing

Mia's last day of school was Friday and they had their end of the year "Spring Sing". It is super cute - James took some video. We had to break it up into four different videos to get it to upload onto Blogger. The first video is only the 18 months and 2 year old classes singing (Mia's class - the 2 year olds - is really mostly 3 year olds now because they turned three during the school year. Believe it or not, the kids standing next to Mia are all her age!):
It's funny to watch how Mia applauds for herself and jumps up and down at the end of each song!
Note the little boy next to her...he liked to make his arm movements "accidentally" run right into Mia's face (too funny!)
And finally! I think the last one might just be the best, if only because of Mia's grand bow to the audience at the end (she was the only one to take a bow)! Also, note how she walks down the aisle after coming down from the stage:

Crowe's Nest Farm (Field Trip!)

Aaron had his first real field trip today! (Mommy went along as a chaperone.) It turned out to be a very fun day. In addition to seeing longhorns, ostriches, pigs, goats, sheep, and all sorts of other animals, we went on a hayride and watched a cow hooked up to a milking machine. The farm is owned by a former teacher/principal and it is geared towards teaching kids about agriculture and wildlife. So, they have lots of wild animals that were rescued but can no longer live in the wild. We saw snakes, a bobcat, hawks and turtles (among other things).

It was very interesting being a chaperone for the trip. This was my first experience doing that. Luckily, I only had to keep track of four kids! There were 9 kindergarten classes on the trip (from our school alone!) and at least 5 or 6 parents for each class. (And by the way, I included the school bus picture on there because that might have been the highlight of the trip for Aaron. We ride our bike to school and he was pretty excited about that bus!)

This week is also teacher appreciation week at Aaron's school and after this field trip I REALLY appreciate all the hard work teachers do. (Not that I didn't already!)

Spring Break at Me-ma and Granddad's House

These are from way back in March! Aaron was sick but we still tried to have fun anyway....

Visit from Kansas!

Once again, it's been awhile since I've posted! Sorry 'bout that! But I'll try to post a few pictures to get you all caught up!

We were lucky to have my great uncle and aunt Doyle and Charlotte come and have dinner with us recently. They were taking a road trip all the way from Agra, Kansas and stopped by after visiting the LBJ library in Austin.
