Playin' With Sisser

I am not sure I like to admit it but sometimes I actually have fun with Blythe. She's growing up and turning into an actual kid. She says and does funny things that make me really laugh. She loves when I chase her and I kind of like it too. Here are a few pictures of us having fun together.

Dad's Birthday

We celebrated Dad's birthday with ice cream cake and gifts. Mom, Blythe and I went to Dairy Queen to pick out a cake. They didn't have any I liked so they decorated one just for him. They let me pick the color and what it should say. I thought blue would be a good color. He liked it!

End of School and Farewell to our Principal

Me with Mrs. Monroe

My first year of Kindergarten came to and end on June 4. About a week before that we got news that our principal would be moved to a different school for next year. We all love her so much and are going to miss her. Mrs. Monroe is so nice, caring and fun! We were very happy that I got to be one of her students even if it was only for a year.

We tried to make the last few days of school as much fun and happy as we could even though the majority of us were sad because she was leaving us.

We wore yellow on the last day because that's Mrs. Monroe's favorite color. That was also games day at school and Mrs. Monroe surprised us all by dancing on the roof of the school. She gave each student a pencil as a going away gift. A lot of students brought her gifts and cards as well.

During the last week of school we also had a gathering at the school where we used sidewalk chalk to decorated the sidewalks with messages of love for Mrs. Monroe. We also had a family picnic, presented her with a platter that had each student's finger print that made up the leaves of a tree, and the school a tree planted on the school grounds in her honor.

Many parents worked hard to try to get the decision for her to moved changed but no luck. Our family enjoyed our year with Mrs. Monroe!

Me with Mrs. Felber.

I also had a great year with my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Felber and we'll miss her too, but she'll be there next year. We'll still get to see her in the halls. :) I was very lucky to have such a wonderful, caring teacher to get me started in school. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Giving Mrs. Monroe her gift. We got her
a bracelet with a ling from her favorite song,
"And I think to myself, what a wonderful world."

Games Day on the Last Day!

BINGO

After playing BINGO in Harpers I spent a lot of time playing BINGO with Mom and Dad at home. I would be the caller, like Grandpa was when I played. When Mom or Dad got a BINGO I would check their card and call out, "That's a good BINGO" just like they would at the Legion.

Memorial Day Weekend

We went back to Harpers Memorial Day weekend but we didn't stay for the parade this year. We went to a graduation party and Great Grandma D's 96th Birthday.

Great Grandma D.'s 96th Birthday! 

We celebrated her birthday with a lot of Dad's side of the family in Postville. We had lunch and then went swimming at the pool in the building where the party was.

I had fun playing with some of my extended family and loved the swimming!

I also got to go to BINGO for the first time and I loved it! Mom, Dad and I went and it was so fun!

Playing BINGO at the Legion!

The next day we went to the Fire Station for pancakes and Grandpa let me check out the fire trucks and ambulances. It was a lot of fun!

With Grandpa, Grandma D, Reese, Flynn and Blythe.

May 25, 2014 - Summer is almost here

We're still playing catch up with this. Summer is flying by! We were all very anxious for nice, summer weather to spend more time outside. Once our flowers started blooming and the weather warmed up we were spending more time outside enjoying the fresh air!
