Lost her 1st Tooth!

Hannah's tooth has been becoming looser and looser, and just looking awlful. Her permanent tooth is already through the gum and was pushing her baby tooth forward and overall just looked nasty. Today, while my parents were here for a Memorial Day BBQ, Gramma was wiggling and tugging at Hannah's tooth and out it came!!!!

Hannah has already found the little tooth shaped pillow we bought last Fall at a craft fair and is excited to place it under her pillow. We don't do the Tooth Fairy in our home, but she's been told that Mommy or Daddy will leave her a surprise under her pillow if her tooth is there!!!

Miniature Golfing

After picking up Hannah from the party, we decided to go miniature golfing. We've talked about going and just haven't done it until today. This was Hannah's first time minature golfing and towards the end she was starting to get the hang of it. Rachel, she liked moving everyone's golf ball. All in all, we had a great time and had fun as a family.

"Swing Hannah!" "Where did the ball go?? Our Hannah Rose

First Drop Off Party!

Hannah was invited to a birthday party of one of her classmates this afternoon. When I told the the little boys' mom Hannah would be coming, she told me I was welcome to stay or just drop her off, whatever I wanted to do. I left that decision up to Hannah and she said she wanted to be dropped off. This was the first party I've ever dropped her off and not stayed for. I actually enjoyed just dropping her off. LOL.

When we went to pick her up, she was having a blast! They had a giant trampoline and had been jumping for hours. Needless to say she was one tired, sunburned (I remembered thinking I needed to put sunscreen on, but acutally forgot to), and one very dirty little girl. But she had a great time with all her friends from school!

Kindergarten Comes to an End

Hannah's Kindergarten school year has officially ended. I can't believe how quickly the last year has gone, let alone can't believe my baby is done with her first year of school.

We had a wonderful Kindergarten celebration this morning. The kids performed a couple of songs they learned through the year and each student was presented with their Kindergarten Diploma. Miss Cejka then recognized all the parent volunteers with a special card and a carnation flower.Following the little celebration, there was cookies and punch on the patio. The students chased each other about once last time on the play ground, finished getting everyone's signature in their yearbooks, and of course posed for numerous pictures. After saying final goodbyes and clearing out her cubby, it was off to a special lunch in honor of Hannah's special day. Hannah got to choose where she wanted to have lunch and she chose McDonald's of all places, simply because of it's current Happy Meal promotion. Tried telling her we can go to McDonald's any day of the week, but that's what she wanted, so that's what she got. I made a special cake in honor of the big day and we'll enjoy that this evening after dinner.

End of the Year Party

Hannah's class had thier year end party today. They had pizza, ice cream sundae cups, and fruit punch and pink lemonade to drink. All the kids enjoyed the party and had been talking about it all morning according to Miss Cejka. They continually asked when it would be time for pizza. Needless to say they were all so excited to see me come in the door carrying four pizza boxes!!! This is Hannah and her friend, Austyn. Austyn comes from a Christian family and is a really sweet little boy. Through the last year, he's brought Hannah a little something when he's gone to Disneyland, or other family outings, and even brought her an extra special Valentine. We've also been to his house for lunch and playdates. They are defianately good friends and I thought this was a sweet picture to share, despite the punch stained lips and pizza face. LOL. Believe it or not, our elementary school has yearbooks and each of the classes, Kindgarten through sixth grade, have their own pages. They are really nice yearbooks, with a hard cover and colored pictures. Another fun thing Hannah did today was that she took her yearbook to school and during recess, the classmates all signed one anothers yearbook. LOL. It's pretty cute how each of their wrote their name, most including thier last name, some names all capital letters, all uneven, some neat. But all cute and a reminder of how you learn to write in Kindergarten. Miss Cejka even signed her book and inscribed it that she'd been a great student and she was sure she'd do well in 1st grade. It'll be a neat thing to look back at years down the road.

Lunch Like a 1st Grader!

As part of preparing for going to 1st grade, the Kindergartners got to eat lunch in the cafeteria the last two days. A menu was sent home and Hannah decided to buy lunch yesterday, and pack her lunch today. This way she knows how to do lunch if she should buy or bring her lunch.

She was so excited both mornings. We packed her lunch last night for today, and she was so excited she must have walked around carrying her lunch box from the end of breakfast til the time to leave. She said eating in the cafeteria was a lot of fun and she can't wait to do it again!
