Marcus' Preschool Graduation

Marcus had a fabulous year in preschool. His teacher, Ms. Hilary is simply amazing and is so great with children. His year was filled with new experiences, learning, new friends, reading, ABC's, numbers, songs and music, playtime, art projects, and so much more.

We had a fun day all day celebrating. We went on his last field trip with him in the morning, spent the afternoon with his cousins, and then came home and got ready for his big night. After graduation Manny and I took Marcus out to dinner [his choice] and we went to none other than Cafe Rio! It was especially fun because we met the Meyers there and Aunt Amy came to celebrate also!

Congratulations on your first BIG milestone as far as school is concerned kiddo. We are so proud of all your hard work, determination, willingness to try new things, and for all that you have accomplished. We hope you remember what you learned and will apply it into your life for years to come. It was certainly an experience for all of us and was fun to watch you grown and learn throughout the year. One of our favorite things was being able to watch some of those 'ah ha' moments. Daddy, Elaina, William and I were so happy we got to be a big part of your special day!
Congrats on a job well done.
We Love You.

Wheeler Farm

June 1st was Marcus' last field-trip as a preschool student. His class went to Wheeler Farm and had a blast. Manny, Elaina, William, and I were all able to go with him. They got to look around at all the farm animals and go on a big wagon ride. It was fun to go exploring with his class and watch them interact with one another.

Elaina's favorite animal was of the coarse the horses and Marcus' favorite were the sheep. It was lots of fun and we were so glad we got to go with you kiddo!

The Big 5

March 16th

Children's Discovery Museum

Marcus' preschool class had a field trip to the Children's Discovery Museum at The Gateway the day of his birthday. We all had a really fun time with the kids, complete chaos, but it was way fun nonetheless! It was especially fun to have the Meyers and Justin there to explore with as well. We took a ton of pictures, here are a few of them. [I just used the collages Ang made from this day to save time. ;) ]

Exploring in mini market store and in the farm.

The 3 youngest LOVED the water area! They all came home sopping wet!

We let Marcus open one gift on his actual birthday [his baby book I made for him] and the rest he had to wait until his family birthday party/dinner on Sunday. For part of his birthday, he had a date with Daddy to the Monster Truck show back in February. He asked for a Monster Truck cake so that's what I made for him. He also received a lot of cute clothes, sandals, and toys including a few monster trucks and remote control car. We sure had a lot of fun with you kiddo and hope you know just how much you are loved. We are so glad you are part of our family and are so grateful for the joy and happiness you bring to our lives. Hard to believe you are already 5, seems like yesterday we were at Utah's Hogle Zoo celebrating your first birthday.

We love you. Happy 5th Birthday Lil' Buckaroo. xoxo

Going to the Candy Shop!

November 24th Marcus' preschool got to go on a fieldtrip to Sweets Candy Factory. It fell on a Wednesday which is Manny's day off so him and Elaina went. Only a limited number of people could go so I didn't plan on going to allow room for other parents/siblings to attend but Manny and the kids had a blast!

Elaina all dressed and ready to go meet Marcus at preschool! They could bring a dollar to buy some candy at the end of the tour so I let Elaina choose which purse she wanted to take and put her $1.25 in it to buy her candy by herself. She was so excited to go with Marcus and Megs and Daddy and take her "monies."

Anxiously awaiting to go! I can't believe how big my baby is getting!

So big!
