Changes From September to Present...

Lilah and Jaxon's teachers put together this laminate sheet to show how much the kids have changes from the first day of preschool until the last.  Surprisingly, they really haven't grown that much!!

Preschool Graduation Program Photos

On the last day of preschool, each individual class performed one or two songs and then the entire school performed a few songs together, as a whole.  Our kiddies sounded out the entire alphabet, while signing it.  It was rather impressive to see that their teachers taught them to sign the entire alphabet.  They know something I don't. The last song the entire school sang was "HAPPY" by Ferrell.  The school chose to end on a HAPPY note, not a sad one.  Enjoy a few pictures of the performance and afterwards.  I have never been able to get the lighting right in the school's church, so I apologize for the poor quality of images.  
We were so proud of Lilah and Jax and we are looking forward to the next stage of their lives!

 The fun Frogs class.  
 These pictures are right before they began singing "HAPPY".
 You can tell these kids were veterans because they did so well and weren't shy at all.
 A little alphabet "signing" going on here.
 Julia, below, is a friend from church, small group, and school!
 My beautiful TWO!
 More of Julia!
 More of the Happy song! This song turned them into GIGGLE monsters.
 You can see how happy this song really made them!
 I cannot believe how alive they became, on stage, in front of over 100 people.
After the performances, they had a special moment for the graduates. Jax received his certificate of graduation.
As did Lilah!
 And Julia.
 We allowed Ty to cut out of school early to be a part of this special day!
 Saying goodbye to their teachers!
We have seen Mrs. Donna a ton already, since school has let out.  Her son, Josh, and Ty have been best buddies since birth. It's helpful knowing it's not goodbye for good.
Jax stopped to take a pic with his buddy "Jack".  
 Grandad and Grandnee came to support the twins and arrived with a thoughtful gift in hand.
 It was a HAPPY, exciting day and I am so glad we were all there to be a part of it.
"My Morning Out" preschool will be forever in our hearts.  It was a wonderful experience that began with Tyson first.  He entered into the program when he was 2.  I loved the school because it wasn't just daycare.  The teachers invested a ton of time into what they were teaching their students.  I give MUCH credit to the teachers because MOST of what the twins know is from them (as far as academically).  With Ty, it was the other way around.  I had a lot more one on one time with him.  Once the twins came around, our lives were much more involved in the community, with church and sports and it is just all around MORE busy.  I relied heavily on Bethel's teachers to help teach the twins the fundamentals.  I know their hard work will be what gets them through their first year of kindergarten.  I was also pleased with the amount of scripture/bible stories they learned and I appreciated the 9-1 time frame.  Ty was also a part of a 9-12 preschool and that was just not enough time.  I was so honored to be able to have them there. We will miss everyone greatly.  

I took a bunch of photos, but the photos above were the ones that I enjoyed the most.  You can see all of the photos, below, by clicking on the photo album.  Enjoy!

Saying Goodbye To Un-FROG-gettable Friends!

Lilah and Jax really loved their classmates this year. They came home with a ton of stories and stories that made them laugh to the point where they couldn't finish their stories they would be laughing so hard. I had a BIG heart for so many of the girls and boys in their class because some of them came from broken homes.  I felt their pain as they would reach out to me for hugs (after school on the playground).  I wanted to say goodbye with a fun gift, as well as our phone number, so we could possible have a few playdates this Summer.
I started with these gift bags and I added cute frog stickers to the front of the bag. 

I wrote a note to their classmates using all kinds of fun, FROGGY terms.  I rolled up the note to mock a DIPLOMA.
I purchased some froggy art, off of etsy, and designed the "letter" to be a little more personable.
 Tada!
 It read: 
"You are one unFROGettable friend 
And we would TOADally love to hang out 
With you this summer!!!! 
Give us a call AND 
Maybe we can catch some flies or something!!!  
HOPPY Summer!" 
 What was inside the bag?
*Frog Art from AC Moore
*Colorful paint and a paint brush
*A frog apron
The boys received primary colors and the girls received neon colors.
The twin's class is called the "Fun Frogs", so when I spotted these colorful aprons, I had to grab them, 11 to be exact.
Teal for the boys and orange for the girls!
 I added googlie eyes to the frog sticker to give the bag a little more THRILL factor.
I really hope they don't FROG-et to call us!
The twins couldn't wait to paint their frogs. They use them as puppets :)

Preschool - Graduation Morning!

Jax's hands!
The morning of the twins' graduation, I decorated the kitchen with some graduation decorations, as well as, set aside some special gifts for them.  
"God Bless You" graduate, stuffed owl!
 Kindergarten fun pad...$12.99 $7.87 at Sam's Club
 Cash for the Grad!
Build-A-Bear Graduate outfit.
A 2' Foot bubble wand!
 A graduate cap charm for Lilah's pandora bracelet.  
 And a frog charm since she was graduating from the "Fun Frogs" class.
 The breakfast table!
 Graduate napkins, plates, and sunglasses.
 Gotta love the Dollar Tree - a $1.00 lite up lantern.  Anywhere else it would have been $12.99
Congrats Grads - Lilah and Jaxon
 Confetti
 Another peak!
When Lilah and Jax came downstairs, to eat, they were so excited.  I love them because they are so appreciative.
 My handsome bunny!
 My silly girl!
After breakfast, I took a few pictures, because I knew there would be too much going on, after their end of the year program, to capture what I wanted. This was too BIG of a memory for me to not get on camera.  
Lilah and Jax... it is SOOOOO hard to believe you are through with preschool and off to bigger and better places.  You two will do awesome in Kindergarten.  I am super excited for you all to be in school with brother.  You will meet loads of friends and hopefully begin teaching others about our King. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are TWO of a kind.
