April Door of Fame

Here is the kids' artwork for April.

Austin: large fireant, painted butterfly, easter egg basket, tank pictures, flower, jelly-bean graph, life-cycle stages of a butterfly, colorful chich, and the girl with a basket. He came home with 2 Warrior Thumbs-Up Awards this month--one for "leadership in the classroom" and one for "awesome hallway behavior." Good job Austin!!

Kayla: popcorn tree, dinosaur picture, easter egg basket, painted butterfly, firetruck picture, matching shapes worksheet which she did perfectly,, and the paper with cutout blue/pink pieces which is apparantly a horse according to the title of the paper. 

This month at school, Austin's class had an incubator full of eggs that they observed for several days until they hatched. Then they had 9 baby chicks in their classroom that they got to feed, hold, and watch for a couple weeks. This month Kayla went to the Firestation with her MDO class and had a great time.

Austin came home with this book that he put together. He drew his own pictures for every page of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and did a very good job.

Thunder Up

On Friday, April 13th, we headed down to OKC along with several family members and friends to watch the OKC Thunder play the Sacramento Kings.

 First we stopped at Bourbon Street Cafe for a very nice and very tasty dinner! Even though we were rooting for the OKC Thunder we still made bets on how many points Jimmer would score.

Unfortunately it was raining that day and none of us (except Mike) came prepared with umbrellas so we walked swiftly from dinner over to the arena holding magazines over our heads (wish I had gotten a picture of that). After buying Thunder t-shirts we settled into our seats to watch.

Teams warming up before the game.

Thunder wins 115-89.........it wasn't much of an exciting game at the end due to the point spread but we still had a good time and are glad they won!

Going to the Dentist

On Thursday, April 12th, Kayla had her first visit to the dentist. I set up this appointment just because I thought it would be a good idea to introduce it to her so as she grows up it she will be used to it and hopefully cooperative.

To my suprise she did FANTASTIC!! She got right up in the chair and let the dental hygenist clean, polish, and floss her teeth. She opened her mouth big and wide and did whatever the dental hygenist asked her too.

Kayla got to pick a sticker, a toy, and new toothbrush.

And the best part.....NO cavities. Hurray Kayla!!
