T.J.'s graduation

Here are a few pictures from T.J.'s preschool graduation. I know I am way behind but at least I'm trying. They had a wonderful little program with all of their favorite songs from the year. I couldn't get over how adorable he was in that little cap and gown. Especially once he was lei-ed by all of his friends. So cute!
I also couldn't get over how much he looks like Clay. I did tape the entire program but unfortuantely I am not so good at the editing thing and they are really long. I may get to it someday but don't count on it!!

Breana's Ohana Day Dance!!

Here is Breana's Ohana Day dance. Sorry that it gets pretty shaky near the end. There were several people in chairs right in front of us and people kept standing up. My arm was in the air with the camera pointed down the whole time. I think you can hear me when it gets shaky say, "My arm is getting tired Clay".
Anyway, She did a great job and we are so proud of her.

What happens when you give a 7 year old and a 5 year old a camera?

You get pictures of toys, butterflies, and bugs.

Grandma's Birthday!

So we went to the beach to take some pictures for Grandma Mecham's Birthday back in march. I started early and we used the pictures to make some homemade gifts for Grandma (that have yet to be mailed). I thought I would share some of them seeing as Grandma has not seen any of them yet. What can I say I am the queen of slackers.
Sorry if some of them are tilted I had to scan our prints.

T.J.'s birthday!!

I'm a slacker mom! I missed posting about T.J.'s birthday. We had a fun week. Cake at school, a birthday pie on February 18th, his actual birthday, and a fun barbeque with friends on the 19th. Unfortunately my camera is still having problems and I didn't get any pics:(
So these are just two of my favorite T.J. pictures!

My birthday was good. I played and my school sang to me and my mom made me a chocolate cake for everyone at school. I got a toy from my teachers. Then we had a barbeque with my friends. Thank you everybody that came. Can you please come again for my next birthday when I turn 6? That would be fun! Thanks for the presents and for the birthday cards from my grandma's and grandpa's!

Thank you, T.J.

I Love you Heidi!

This was my old dog Heidi. We left her in Montana with some very nice people who were our friends. She was a cute dog. She was a good runner and she was potty trained when we got her.
We saved her from the Humane Society. I wished I could play with her again. I miss her alot.
I hope someday we can get another dog just like her. My favorite things about her were that she was fun to play with, she was patient and this is how I know it she didn't bite T.J. . She would only lick him. She was like a circus dog when we fed her popcorn it was so fun to watch. We would throw the popcorn in the air and she would jump up and catch it. She sheded alot so I had to sweep alot. I love you Heidi and hope you are enjoying your new home! Love, Breana

T.J.'s love page

This is T.J.'s love page. I've been meaning to post it for awhile but couldn't find the scanned image on my computer. T.J.'s school does a project every year where every family creates a page about their preschooler. They compile them in a large book and then all the students get a chance to take it home and see everyones pages. The picture of him with the corndog is from Disneyland and fell out of a box while I was moving some things. It was too cute not to add! The star fish has to be one of my all time favorite T.J. pics. Anyway, just thought I'd share.
